Kimi Antonelli already has one fastest lap this season (at Suzuka), and he showed in sprint qualifying that he has impressive one lap pace here. He's available at a generous 15.0 in the fastest lap market, so a bet on Kimi is where the value lies.

Oliver Bearman starts from the back of the grid, so it will take something special with strategy or an unusual set of race circumstances for him to finish in the points. However, he has sneaked into the lower points scoring positions at three of the last four Grand Prix, so if we do get a well-timed safety car or well-timed wet weather or something similar, then Oliver has shown he has the pace to take advantage if an opportunity presents itself. His odds of 7.0 therefore hold appeal for anyone looking for a small speculative bet.

Miami is usually a race of low attrition (the last two Grand Prix here have seen only a solitary retirement), so the chances of midfield teams making the top six due to front-running retirements is perhaps less likely than at other races. With that in mind, Charles Leclerc looks to be the best priced of the usual front-runners. He starts from eighth on the grid, but you would have to expect him to get past the two Williams drivers without too much trouble. Additionally, Charles has finished in the top six at each of the last three Grand Prix, so he comes into this race in excellent form.

Max Verstappen has started from pole at two previous Grand Prix this season: Japan and Saudi Arabia. At Suzuka he won comfortably, and at Saudi Arabia he came second. He starts from pole again today in Miami, so based on previous form, and as this is a track where overtaking isn't the easiest, you would have to fancy Max to claim at least a podium in today's race.
