Miami gp drama ends in thrilling sunday sprint

The Miami GP ended with a bang, as Sunday's long race saw a closely fought battle. McLaren stunned everyone with an unexpected win, but Lando Norris' victory seemed to vanish like smoke. Mercedes had a rough weekend until Antonio Gelae appeared to claim pole. George Russell's troubles mounted when his Mercedes encountered issues in practice, limiting him to a fourth-place sprint finish after Antonio Gelae was disqualified. This complicates his World Championship ambitions.

Verstappen returns strong

Four-time World Champion Max Verstappen made a triumphant return, securing a meritorious second-place finish. Red Bull finally found a competitive setup, giving them a car that can challenge for victories. This sets up a tantalizing showdown between Verstappen and pole-sitter Lando Norris.

Alonso's honda woes continue

Fernando Alonso's struggles with the Honda engine persisted, as he was eliminated in Q3 and finished well down the order in the sprint. He complained of extreme vibrations in his AMR26. Teammate Stroll didn't even make it to the sprint qualifying session.

Carlos Sainz managed to get the Williams into Q2, but his 14th-place sprint finish didn't solve the car's weight issues. Alonso was 14th overall, more than 10 seconds behind Norris' pole position time.
