In the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix, Max Verstappen secured a controlled victory for Red Bull fending off an early challenge from Charles Leclerc. Sergio Perez dropped positions but recovered to claim third while Daniel Ricciardo impressively defended his position against Carlos Sainz and Oscar Piastri to finish fourth.

Lewis Hamilton faced frustrations receiving penalties for pit lane speeding and finishing 16th after battling with Kevin Magnussen who also received penalties but helped his teammate secure points. Hamilton involvement in a first-corner incident leading to Lando Norris retirement will be investigated.

Max Verstappen dominated the race with Leclerc closely following in second. The drivers will soon return for Sunday qualifying session.
