In an exciting Sprint race of the Miami Grand Prix, Lando Norris, British driver for McLaren, dominated the track under rain and chaos, crossing the finish line in first place. His teammate, Australian Oscar Piastri, made a spectacular comeback from eleventh place to secure second place.
"It was an incredibly exciting race, with complicated weather conditions, but I managed to keep my cool and take the win," Norris commented after his triumph.
The young talent from Mercedes, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, started from pole position but couldn't maintain the lead, finishing outside the top 8 and without scoring points in the race.
On the podium of the Miami Sprint race, Norris and Piastri were joined by Lewis Hamilton from Ferrari, who earned 6 points for his outstanding performance. Other drivers who managed to score points were Alex Albon, George Russell, Lance Stroll, Liam Lawson, and Ollie Bearman.
McLaren demonstrated its strength with a double podium, consolidating its excellent performance even under adverse weather conditions. The rain was a determining factor that caused several notable retirements, such as those of Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz after crashes in corners.
The weather complicated the spectacle at the Miami International Autodrome, leading to a suspension, but eventually the conditions improved enough for the race to continue. The Miami Grand Prix promises more excitement with the Qualifying and the main race to come.
