The sixth round of the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship got underway on Sunday with the Miami Grand Prix, which saw a McLaren driver on top of the podium for the first time since 2021.

McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both showed plenty of pace in Miami, though Piastri wasn't able to capitalize due to an incident with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz. Norris however was able to take home the win, having managed to hold off Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen following a safety car period.

Verstappen is still the favorite to take home the title this season. He may also set some new records. He set two last season: the most wins in a single season with 19, and the most consecutive wins in a season at 10. With the 2024 season hosting a record 24 races, more records could certainly fall if Verstappen's domination continues. Fellow Red Bull driver Sergio Perez has performed strongly in recent rounds, though he remains well off the pace of his teammate.

Like McLaren's Piastri and Norris, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have given Red Bull some serious competition this season. Both drivers have consistently fought for podium finishes and Sainz even took the win in the Australian Grand Prix, though that race saw Verstappen retire due to car troubles.

Mercedes-Benz AMG in contrast has failed to deliver. The team, made up of drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, has struggled with the car so far this season, particularly in the high-speed corners.

Fortunately, there's still plenty of time for teams to make changes and for drivers to catch up with current leader Verstappen, as there are still 18 races to go in this season.
