“America, of course, exaggerated it.”

Max Verstappen was celebrated by the international press after his victory at the Miami Grand Prix. The show has seemed a bit unfocused in recent episodes in the US.

International Press Comments on the Miami GP:

United States

USAT today: “South Florida got the first impression of Formula 1. Of course many came to Miami with interest, and of course many went to the fans. This is a fitting link. With a ten-year contract, Miami still has a lot of time to finish the event.

The Wall Street Journal: “Formula 1 found Miami in search of American glamor. Thanks to the popular Netflix series, First Class came to Florida and met many celebrities with its screwdriver image on the dock.”

Netherlands

AD.nl: “Max Verstappen is more American than the Americans. With a football helmet on his head, he’s not a Formula 1 world champion, but he’s celebrated on stage like a quarterback from Limburg. Of course America did it so badly.

D Telegraph: “Master of Concentration. Max Verstappen is cool even in American madness.”

Italy

Gazette Dello Sport: “Ferrari is half happy. Verstappen wins, Leclerc fights like a lion. He must settle for a bitter second place.”

Courier Tello Sport: “Verstappen suppresses red Ferrari cars. Leclerc does not have the head and heart to win. He did his best, but he measures himself against an extraordinary pilot.”

France
