Good point on the wet.
Basically, I think the zone was too short for most cars to get the job done early enough, and by the time they got to the end of the straight there was an easy defence for the car in front - just hog the only dry line. Cars that tried to pass on the inside here were quickly re-taken because they couldn't carry speed through the following sequence of corners.

Interesting look at complex turn sequence and track in Miami! Video link below.

UK specialists Apex Circuit Design laid out the 5.41-kilometre anticlockwise circuit, which hosts its first Formula 1 Grand Prix next weekend, around the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

Its most sinuous section is through Turns 13-16, which wind around the entrance and exit ramps and beneath the flyover sections of the Florida Turnpike, the main toll road between Miami and Orlando, and NW 203rd Street.

The track is expected to produce an average lap speed of just under 135mph, and this slow-speed section precedes a 1.28km, 320kph straight that leads towards the hairpin at Turn 17.

The approach to Turn 17 should be the track’s key overtaking opportunity and the compression effect of the Turn 13-16 sequence should ensure close running onto the back straight.
