Lando Norris wins the chaotic sprint by Miami - Hamilton third!

Miami, USA - On May 3, 2025, the sprint race of Formula 1 in Miami took place, which was characterized by changeable weather conditions. Lando Norris from Team McLaren secured victory in front of his team -mate Oscar Piatri and Lewis Hamilton from Ferrari. Norris ultimately brought the race to the finish after 18 rounds after a neutralization occurred in the final phase due to an accident between Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) and Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls).

The conditions before the race were challenging. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) could not participate due to an accident that he had on wet roads before starting. The pressure of the aquaplaning led him to lose control of his vehicle and be flat. This ensured that the race had to be postponed first because the visibility during the warm -up round was bad.

The start of the start took about 30 minutes to stop raining and the route started to dry. The start of the race finally took place after two rounds of exploration behind the Safety Car, with only 16 rounds left. Piatri, who started from second place, overtook Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) in the first curve without an investigation against him. He had previously cited the race while Norris and the controversial Max Verstappen (Red Bull) fell back.

Another turning point in the race was the pit stop from Piatri, which threw him back behind Norris, tragically for his previous lead. Norris, on the other hand, used the late pit stops for optimal leadership. During the entire race, Piatri reported that the route dried, but the intermediate tires were still faster lap times.
