WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME AT THE MIAMI GRAND PRIX?
Lando Norris became a Formula 1 race winner at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, with the timing of the Safety Car aiding him en-route to victory.
For Formula 1’s third visit to Miami, the Sprint format was utilised for the first time at Miami International Autodrome. While the off-track chatter was focussed on Adrian Newey’s imminent departure from Red Bull, on-track Charles Leclerc attempted a multi-point turn after a spin in the single hour of Free Practice, bringing out the red flags.
Max Verstappen secured pole position for the Sprint, with Leclerc alongside him on the front row. Sergio Perez lined up third, with Daniel Ricciardo an impressive fourth for RB. Verstappen sailed into the lead at the start of the Sprint, despite a bold attempt from Leclerc to get ahead. There was first corner calamity for Lando Norris, who retired after contact with Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin, while Ricciardo got ahead of Perez for third place.
After a Safety Car period, Verstappen went on to lead the rest of the Sprint, bagging another 8 points. Perez found his way back past Ricciardo using DRS – after which point all of the top seven drivers remained in the same position for the rest of the race. Lewis Hamilton and Kevin Magnussen provided the entertainment further back, with the Haas driver picking up multiple penalties for corner cutting and forcing the Mercedes off track.
Qualifying for the Grand Prix followed a similar story to Sprint Qualifying, with Verstappen securing pole ahead of Leclerc. This time, however, Ricciardo was eliminated in Q1 and the McLarens had a more impressive time, with Norris qualifying fifth and Oscar Piastri sixth.
There was drama at the start of Sunday’s Grand Prix, when a lock up for Perez on the run into the first corner saw him almost eliminate his team-mate from the race. The top three ran in the same order as they started after the first turn, though Piastri was the man on the move – and passed Sainz for third place, before getting ahead of Leclerc on Lap 4.
While Hamilton duelled with the other Haas in the Grand Prix, Verstappen retained a slender lead up at the head of the field. The Red Bull driver cut the Turn 15 chicane, taking out a bollard. He pitted on Lap 23, while new leader Piastri pitted five laps later.
Norris led on Lap 28 when the Safety Car was called out due to a collision between Magnussen and Logan Sargeant, which eliminated the latter from the race. At the end of the next lap, the yet-to-pit Norris held an 11 second advantage over Verstappen and with drivers on track having to lap slowly, Norris was able to pit and return to the track before the Red Bull had time to pass him.
The race restarted at the end of Lap 32, where Norris came under pressure from Verstappen but was able to stay ahead, with the Red Bull driver complaining of a difficult to handle car. Piastri and Sainz made slight contact and went off track while battling over fourth place, leading to Piastri pitting and finishing outside of the points.
Norris extended his lead over the remainder of the race and – on his 110th attempt – claimed the first victory of his Formula 1 career. Verstappen held on to second, with Leclerc completing the podium places.
