The best part of sprint racing is the variety of results it can produce. The points finishing order for the race is completely different from the starting grid.

F1 Sprint Race at Miami was won by Lando Norris. Norris has been facing confidence issues. But, it looks like Miami is his lucky charm. The Papaya driver won the sprint, as he made use of his teammate’s pitstop to take the lead. Norris was followed teammate Oscar Piastri, who narrowly missed out on victory. Piastri was visibly disappointed with his loss. Lewis Hamilton joined the McLaren dup as he proved his mettle in a sprint race once again.

The rest of the grid panned out in a strange way. Kimi Antonelli was starting the race on pole. The young racer still did not have what it takes to defend against veterans in a vulnerable position. To top it off, his sprint was ruined due to a crash with Verstappen. The Dutchman was equally confused as tbe pair collided in pitlane ending each other’s races.

However, things could not go more worse for Charles Leclerc. He could not even start the race. Leclerc found himself in a minor crash as he was visiting the track for a routine lap. He bailed out of the race and did not start the sprint.

An Exciting Turn of Events in Top-8

Alex Albon led a chain of of surprisingly good results in the sprint race. He placed fourth in the race. Russell had a normal race but he would have wanted to increase his points. Lance Stroll finished in sixth giving Aston Martin some crucial points. Liam Lawson has finally earned the first points of his season with his finish in the sprint race.

His season has been a nightmare so far. Oliver Bearman was the last surprise for today after making overtakes throughout the 19 laps of the Miami GP Sprint. The Miami GP Sprint Results will be followed by the qualifying session.
