The Miami International Autodrome is another circuit that the Brit hasn’t come out on top at, with him posting three consecutive sixths since it joined the calendar. And he’s also struggled in Las Vegas too, coming seventh last year after the Las Vegas Strip Circuit was added to the calendar before a DNF this season.
