LANDO NORRIS WINS THE MIAMI SPRINT!

Lando Norris leads from lights out to the checkered flag, with Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc joining him on the podium. The Mercedes drivers come home P4 and P6.

THE RACE

Before the start, Hülkenberg and Lindblad failed to make it to the grid in time.

At lights out, Antonelli continued to struggle off the line. Piastri and Leclerc both got strong launches, jumping ahead as Norris pulled clear at the front.

Norris, Piastri, and Leclerc quickly broke away from the rest of the field. Behind them, Verstappen reported ongoing brake issues as he battled with Hamilton.

With high temperatures and gusty winds, overtaking came at a premium throughout the race.

On lap 11, debris appeared on track, seemingly from Ocon’s Haas, yet no safety car was deployed.

Leclerc showed impressive pace late on, closing the gap to Piastri’s McLaren, but couldn’t find a way through.

It marks a McLaren 1–2 finish and their first non-Mercedes victory in this format.
