Lando Norris wins Miami Grand Prix sprint, cuts Piastri's lead

Lando Norris won a dramatic, rain-affected Formula One sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix, leading a McLaren one-two finish with Oscar Piastri in second and Lewis Hamilton in third. The race was marked by challenging wet-to-dry conditions, multiple crashes, and a safety car finish, with Charles Leclerc aquaplaning into a wall pre-race and Max Verstappen receiving a 10-second penalty for a pit lane collision with Kimi Antonelli. Vision issues and debris on the track added to the chaos, prompting delays and a red flag during the formation laps. Antonelli made history as the youngest F1 pole-sitter at 18. Norris, who expressed strong confidence in his abilities and focus on racing despite recent setbacks, picked up eight championship points, narrowing Piastri’s lead in the standings. The main Miami Grand Prix race is scheduled for Sunday, May 4, and will be broadcast on ABC.
