Hey Siri play Miami by Will Smith…….

Max locked up on lap 1 giving Lando an opportunity to pass him. However, Max pushed Lando off the track and Max rushed ahead to maintain P1. As a result Lando lost 4 places and Kimi Antonelli began pressuring Max. Jack Doohan received a puncture after contact with Lawson and a Virtual Safety Car was deployed. After the VSC ended Oscar took advantage by quickly overtaking Kimi for P2.

Lap 14 Oscar stole the lead from Max after a few laps of fighting.

Lap 18 Lando was back up to P2.

Half way through another VSC was deployed as Oliver Bearman lost his hydraulics, unfortunately he had to retire from the race. Many drivers took advantage of the VSC and pitted. A few laps later another VSC was deployed because Gabriel Bortoleto had stopped on the track.

Hamilton took the opportunity to overtake both his teammate and Carlos Sainz as they were engrossed in a squabble. Liam Lawson came into the pits on lap 38 and became the 4th driver of the race to retire their car.

Later Charles was back in front of his teammate but after 3 laps of waiting Ferrari swapped their drivers to see if Lewis could overtake Kimi. Charles began complaining about the dirty air and they swapped back.

Close to the end Lando became more of a threat to his teammate in the lead. Oscar kept the lead and became the first McLaren driver to win 3 races in a row, since Mika Hakkinen in 1998!

Top 10: Piastri, Norris, Russell, Verstappen, Albon, Antonelli, Leclerc, Hamilton, Sainz, Tsunoda.
