Lando Norris (McLaren) benefits from all situations! The passage of the security car after the accident of the Spanish veteran Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) allowed the world’s vice-champion, which was putting on Slick tires for the dry, to stay in front of his teammate Oscar Piastri forced him to raise his foot. Norris thus granted himself the sprint of the Miami Grand Prix, Saturday May 3, 2025.
Delayed by 30 minutes due to the pouring rain causing poor visibility, the race was disputed on a track initially soggy but which dried quickly as the single -seaters go. The pilots had no choice but to go back to the stands to put Slick gums.
Hamilton on the podium, Leclerc abandons
In this little game, it was Ferrari who was the most effective by stopping Lewis Hamilton early, which allowed the seven -time world champion to make a good comeback to finish third. After his surprise victory during the sprint in China at the end of March, this format is definitely successful in the British this season.
This podium put back the morale of the Scuderia, which had lost its other car, that of Charles Leclerc, even before the start of the sprint. The Monegasque had indeed had an accident by going to the starting grid, its single -seater dusting on the wet track before going to hit a wall.
Piastri had been first since the start of the race after closing the door to the first turn in a muscular way to the Italian prodigy Andrea Kimi Antonelli, a surprise author of the pole position on Friday. But the Australian stopped a round earlier than Norris and was trapped by the Briton who offered himself the victory.
The other big loser of the day was the quadruple world champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull). Initially fourth, the Dutchman was sentenced to ten seconds of penalty and fell to 17e Rank of a race that ended under security car regime and therefore with minimal differences between cars.
The commissioners considered that “Mad Max” had left his garage dangerously after his tire change. Indeed, the Red Bull driver did not see Antonelli arriving and struck the Mercedes of the Italian, unlucky on Saturday and who finally took tenth place after having launched into pole.
The French Pierre Gasly (Alpine), Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) and Esteban Ocon (Haas) have not made sparks by finishing 11 respectively 11e13e et 14e.
