Post this week, F1 drivers raced for the first time in Miami, and Kevin Magnussen stated that it was the toughest race of his life.
The Miami Grand Prix is a street circuit, hence all the drivers and teams spent a lot of time understanding and practicing the circuit. Yet, there were errors that were made, some because of crashes, some because of the weather in Miami.
This was Magnussen’s first race of the year where he did not finish; after making contact with Lance Stroll in the Aston Martin in the very final stages of the race, Magnussen had to retire after a loose front wing, and hence scored no points.

Kevin was obviously disappointed after the race, as he believed he could have done more in the race. However, the heat of Miami was in no one’s favor, which increased the track temperatures, making it difficult for the drivers to adjust. Also, the track is temporary, so the quality of the track was “different” to what most drivers are accustomed to.
