McLaren driver Oscar Piastre won the Miami Formula One Grand Prix. It was the sixth race of the season and the Australian's fourth victory. His teammate Lando Norris was second, while Mercedes' George Russell also made it onto the podium in third. Defending champion Max Verstappen, who started from pole position, finished fourth.
Piastre continued his fantastic drive in Miami and dominated to win. The drama began early in the race. Max Verstappen started from first place, and Norris, who was behind him, immediately tried to overtake him, but ended up off the track at the first corner, losing three positions in the standings. The champion held on to first place, but Piastre closed in on him and overtook him on lap fourteen, taking the lead in the race and not letting go until the end.
Piastre has extended his lead in the overall standings. He now has 131 points, 16 more than second-placed Norris. Verstappen is third with 99 points.
The next race is the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which will be held in two weeks at the Imola circuit in Italy.
