It’s a second sprint win of the season for Max Verstappen, taking the honours in Miami.
Max Verstappen secured a dominant victory in the Miami Grand Prix, solidifying his lead in the championship standings over Sergio Perez. Starting from pole position, Verstappen controlled the race comfortably, keeping a steady two-second gap ahead of Charles Leclerc to clinch the win in F1’s inaugural sprint in Miami. Sergio Perez claimed third place, with Daniel Ricciardo finishing in fourth for Red Bull Racing, while Lewis Hamilton faced a fierce battle for eighth position with Kevin Magnussen throughout the race. The main drama unfolded when Hamilton’s aggressive move at Turn 1 triggered a chain reaction involving multiple drivers, leading to a safety car intervention. Despite his late-race surge to grab the final point, Hamilton’s pit-lane speeding penalty cost him the position, allowing Yuki Tsunoda to inherit eighth place. Valuable championship points were collected by other drivers such as Ricciardo, Piastri, and Hulkenberg, while inevitable penalties shuffled the final race standings.
