Starting from pole position following his sprint victory, Max Verstappen was eventually reduced to second place at the Miami Grand Prix.
Lando Norris, driving an excellent McLaren, scored the first victory of his career with a lot of luck but also a lot of talent.
The 24-year-old British driver triumphed ahead of Verstappen (Red Bull) and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari).

With a very strong car this weekend Norris, second in China, broke the “curse” of second place, in which he had finished eight times!
However, for this to happen he benefited from a great ‘gift’ from the safety car at his pit stop, after the Sargent and Magnussen incident, which cost pole-sitter Verstappen dearly.
First point of the season for Alpine with Ocon’s tenth place, while the Ferraris squeezed between the Red Bulls.
