Miami Formula One Grand Prix

Sergio Perez easily retakes third place and Daniel Ricciardo looking slow. No shoeys and looks like he is back to present (bad) form.

Kevin Magnussen given a ten-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage over Lewis Hamilton.

Kevin Magnussen is still aggressively battling with Lewis Hamilton. More penalties?

[StevB]

Lewis Hamilton tried to pass the Kevin Magnussen, but was forced off track, which allowed Yuki Tsunoda pass him. Lewis Hamilton down to 10th. Will not be happy

Kevin Magnussen courting another penalty.

[StevB]

And yes, another 10-second penalty for Kevin Magnussen

Max Verstappen wins the sprint

Charles Leclerc second.

Lewis Hamilton overtakes Yuki Tsunoda on the final lap to claim a single point.

Daniel Ricciardo holds on to fourth. Good result for him.

BUT, Lewis Hamilton gets a time penalty for speeding in the pit-lane! Puts him out of the points!!

[StevB]

1) Max Verstappen, Red Bull [8 points]

2) Charles Leclerc, Ferrari [7]

3) Sergio Perez, Red Bull [6]

4) Daniel Ricciardo, RB [5]

5) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari [4]

6) Oscar Piastri, McLaren [3]

7) Nico Hulkenberg, Haas [2]

8) Yuki Tsunoda, RB [1]

Not that it much matters to the points, but Kevin Magnussen has another penalty for track limits.

Kevin Magnussen has three penalties and a total of 25seconds added to his final race time.

He ends up classified 18th and last!

Kevin Magnussen's excuse? He was playing the team game and holding up Lewis Hamilton so his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg could score points.
Lewis Hamilton's response? Seemed to understand and seemed to think it fair enough. How the sport works.
