Lando Norris is finally a grand prix winner, at his 110th attempt. He brilliantly made the most of a fortuitous safety car and stormed to victory in the Miami Grand Prix with pace that even Max Verstappen couldn’t handle. It was quite the turnaround for the young Brit, who had retired on lap one of the sprint 24 hours earlier.

It was Verstappen who took home maximum points from the sprint race, while Charles Leclerc put in a quick and consistent display to finish second and third across the two races. The gaps between the front runners were far closer around the streets of Miami, with the Red Bulls unable to exhibit the kind of dominance they’ve enjoyed throughout much of 2024 so far. Sergio Perez managed third in the sprint, and fourth in the grand prix.
Daniel Ricciardo was the star of the show on Saturday, as he managed to keep hold of his fourth-placed grid slot and see off the challenge of Carlos Sainz. He couldn’t replicate that pace on Sunday however, and could only struggle home in 15th.
Sainz was embroiled in another duel in the grand prix, this time with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton as the pair came home together in fifth and sixth. Yuki Tsunoda reversed the fortunes of the RB drivers to finish seventh ahead of George Russell, Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon, who picked up yet the first points of the season for a resurgent Alpine team.
