Kimi Antonelli made it three wins on the bounce with victory in Miami, as the Mercedes man extended his lead at the top of the Drivers' Championship to 20 points. It was a very strong result for Mercedes, considering they did not bring the same level of upgrades to Miami as their rivals. But while the Italian showed his skills once again, George Russell was left playing catch up as he finished off the podium for the second straight race. F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto and F1 TV expert James Hinchcliffe join Tom Clarkson in the paddock to discuss all the main talking points from the Sunshine State. Sunday's Grand Prix had action from word go, with plenty of first lap incidents to discuss - not least Antonelli's lock-up that lost him the lead after he started from pole. Max Verstappen was back in the mix at the front too, but the Dutchman spun on the opening lap and did well to recover as the race progressed. Then there was Charles Leclerc, who led in the opening stages, was left unhappy by his team's strategy calls and managed to make contact late on with George Russell and spun for good measure before picking up a post-race time penalty. McLaren had a much more solid afternoon, Lando Norris challenging for the lead at times but settling for second, while Oscar Piastri fought his way up to third with some good overtakes. Encouraging signs for the papaya team, but they will be wary of any future Mercedes upgrades. Away from the big four teams, there was more encouragement for Alpine, who got both cars into the top 10 in Qualifying - but lost Pierre Gasly to a nasty-looking incident in the early stages. Franco Colapinto did score for the team though, as they overtook Haas in the Constructors'. Nico Hulkenberg failed to finish as Audi continued to battle with reliability issues, the German also not starting the Sprint on Saturday. But there was good news for Williams, who got both cars home in the points for the first time this season, as their upgrades did the business.
