Oscar Piastri has extended his lead at the top of the drivers championship as McLaren dominated the Miami Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen started on pole position after getting the better of both of McLaren’s championship-chasers in qualifying, with Lando Norris – who emerged victorious in Saturday’s sprint event – starting second on the grid.
Norris was pushed off the track soon after lights out, with Verstappen jostling at the front of the pack with Piastri before the Aussie pulled away. He only extended his advantage over the Dutchman for the remainder, crossing the line first and holding off a late resurgence from Norris, who took second.
Lewis Hamilton endured a frustrating race with teammate Charles Leclerc in toe, having started all the way back in 12th after a dismal qualifying session. The Brit finished eighth, behind his Ferrari colleague after being ordered to let the Monaco driver chase Kimi Antonelli at the back-end of the race.
