McLaren secure Miami GP one-two, as Norris dominates ahead of Ferrari and Mercedes

The Miami GP Sprint sees the first race without a Mercedes on the podium altogether - with Antonelli and teammate George Russell battling for P4, just ahead of a tussle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.

It was another slow start for Kimi Antonelli, who fell back to P4 behind Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc, respectively. Lando Norris kept his Pole lead at the start, and made a 1.5s gap on his McLaren teammate by Lap Five.

Max Verstappen dropped back a couple of places from P5 in the opening stages, coming close to contact with old rival Lewis Hamilton, who passed him for P6. Speaking of close contact, Cadillac's Sergio Perez made an impressive start at the manufacturer's home race - making moves on Liam Lawson, Alex Albon, and attacking the Williams duo.

On Lap Seven, the Mercedes pair clashed, with George Russell taking Antonelli at Turn 17. But it was only a lap later until Antonelli had P4 back at Turn 11, with Hamilton and Verstappen going off the just behind them. Verstappen got ahead of the Ferrari driver in the move, but quickly gave the spot back.

On Lap 9, Verstappen got the move done cleanly enough this time at Turn 17, the Briton without the answers to fight back for P6. All of this battling behind was good news for the McLaren drivers and Leclerc, with the top three eking out a three second gap to P4's Antonelli.

There was a slight risk of a Safety Car after debris from Ollie Bearman's Haas flew onto the track, but luckily for the front runners, no yellow flags were forthcoming.

Norris maintained his gap to Piastri at around three seconds for most of the Sprint, allowing the Aussie to come under pressure from Ferrari's Leclerc, who hovered around a second behind Piastri with five laps to go. Leclerc reduced that gap to 0.3s at one stage, but never really looked like threatening the 25-year-old.

Red Bull's Isack Hadjar made a brave move on Alpine's Franco Colapinto on the outside of Turn Four for P10 with just two laps to go. The Argentine stayed behind Hadjar all the way to the Sprint's end.

A late five-second penalty saw Kimi Antonelli drop two places to P6, the young Italian was deemed to break track limits one too many times.
