F1 Miami GP sprint race recap
Lando Norris secured victory in a wet-dry sprint, that was delayed by a red flag for poor visibility. The McLaren driver had been on Piastri’s tail but was set to lose out when the Australian got priority for their respective switch to slick tyres.
But Norris admitted that he rode his luck when Fernando Alonso was tapped into a spin by Liam Lawson at Turn 11, which produced a safety car – which bought Norris enough time to rejoin in the lead after his own stop.

Lewis Hamilton finished third after passing Max Verstappen, as the Red Bull driver later copped a 10-second penalty for an unsafe release and hit polesitter Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
Antonelli had contended for the lead with Piastri into Turn 1, but was shown the run-off area by the championship leader. Running fourth, the Italian was unable to enter his pitbox after contact with Verstappen and had to pit again, costing him a chance of points.
