Team principal Laurent Mekies said: “We are excited to present this unique design in Miami, a city full of energy and vitality.

Analysts expect the yellow livery to provide a morale boost, especially given Miami’s festive atmosphere. However, the biggest challenge remains improving the car’s speed in slow corners.
