The top 10 of the Miami Grand Prix at the checkered flag, with the five-second penalty imposed on Alonso.

23h

Second consecutive victory for Verstappen, who takes 8 new points from Charles Leclerc – with the point for the best lap in the race. The two drivers are now separated by 19 points in the championship. The gap is narrowing!

23h

Victory for Verstappen, ahead of Leclerc and Sainz! Magnificent performance from the Dutchman, who started from third place on the grid. Behind, the two Mercedes are still in the points, as are the Alpine of Alonso and Ocon, eighth and ninth in Miami.

23h

The production focuses on the Verstappen/Leclerc battle, but behind it, Hamilton and Russell have been battling for many laps on the track for fifth place. The second city has the upper hand for the moment.

Schumacher hit Vettel, both drivers' cars were seriously affected. The four-time world champion is forced to retire.

And Albon is in the points! Very discreet since the start of the weekend, he has just entered the top 10.

23h

22h

Leclerc intensifies the pressure on Verstappen. The Ferrari driver is within the second needed to have DRS, but is unable to appear completely dangerous for the moment.

22h

Bottas’ turn to make a mistake! While the Mercedes behind were fighting among themselves, the Finn hit the wall coming out of the last corner, and immediately lost two positions.

22h

Race restart without incident! It was hot between Sainz and Pérez for the battle for third place, but the Spaniard retained his position and resisted.

22h

While the relaunch is imminent, Pierre Gasly seems to give up. The AlphaTauri driver returned to the pits!

22h

Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso received a five-second penalty after his kamikaze overtake on Pierre Gasly, causing the Frenchman's loss and certainly contact with Norris a few corners later. 

22h

22h

Update on the top 10, less than fifteen laps from the finish! Everyone is in line behind the Safety Car.

 

22h

The safety car is deployed. Some drivers who had not stopped, including Russell (7th) and Ocon (11th), took advantage of it!

22h

HO THE BIG SHOCK BETWEEN NORRIS AND GASLY! The British driver also tried to overtake the losing Frenchman, but the two collided at high speed. Norris' right rear wheel immediately gave way under the impact, causing the McLaren to spin several times. Fortunately, he didn't hit any walls in this incident, but it was pure and simple abandonment.

22h

Little contact between Gasly and Alonso! The Spaniard launches a maneuver from a long distance, locks his front wheels and touches the Frenchman's right rear wheel. The AlphaTauri driver did not have a puncture, but he lost two places in the process.

22h

Vettel's engineer tells him that rain could arrive on the circuit in a few minutes. The sky seems threatening. Beware of the waterspout that can hit Florida, it can happen without warning and with intensity!

22h

Big battle on track between Magnussen, Schumacher, Vettel and Norris. The single-seaters can follow each other without damaging their tires outrageously. And we buy that!

22h

After 30 laps, six drivers have not yet returned to the pits: Russell, Ricciardo, Ocon, Stroll, Vettel and Latifi, all on hard tires.

22h

Verstappen finally stops, two laps after Leclerc. The Dutchman comes out in second position, ahead of his teammate, Sergio Pérez. The Mexican will be able to catch up with Leclerc, but he has more than six seconds ahead of the Ferrari driver. Serenely.
