The engines roared to life, the sound reverberating through the Miami circuit as adrenaline coursed through every driver's veins. The lights blinked on one by one, the tension building with each second.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
Out.
And just like that, the Miami Grand Prix exploded into action. The roar of engines gave way to a frenzy of movement as the grid launched forward, a blur of color and power. Blake Voss's McLaren surged off the line, her focus razor-sharp as she dove into Turn 1. In the chaos of the opening lap, she had already leaped from P11 to P9.
"Brilliant start, Blake. P9 already," her race engineer praised, his voice calm but firm over the radio. "Let's keep it clean."
Blake gripped the wheel tighter, her jaw set. Clean wasn't on her agenda. Not today. Today was about proving something—to herself, to her team, and maybe even to Lando. Her McLaren was a force, slicing through the midfield with a precision that was as daring as it was reckless.
Meanwhile, Lando Norris had a different approach. Starting in P3, he bided his time, keeping a measured gap to Verstappen and Perez ahead. The Miami circuit was a dance of speed and control, and Lando was a master at knowing when to push and when to hold back.
"Maintain the gap, Lando," his engineer advised. "Opportunities will come after the first round of pit stops."
"Understood," Lando replied, his voice steady. Even as he navigated the race, his mind drifted briefly to Blake. He wondered how far she'd managed to climb already.
By Lap 10, the answer was clear: P7. Blake's overtakes were audacious, threading the needle through impossible gaps. But her aggression came at a cost—her tires were heating up fast.
