Overview
- Antonelli won Sunday in Miami for his third straight grand prix, converting pole to victory to extend his championship lead.
- Organizers moved lights-out forward by three hours to 1 p.m. local time to dodge forecast thunderstorms, and the race ran mainly in the dry.
- A chaotic start saw Max Verstappen spin from the front row, then a safety car followed when Isack Hadjar crashed and Pierre Gasly rolled after contact with Liam Lawson.
- Stewards enforced tight technical rules as Hadjar lost his qualifying result for floor boards that stuck out 2mm beyond the legal volume and Gabriel Bortoleto was scrubbed from the sprint for engine intake pressure above the 4.8 barA limit.
- Post-race reviews remain open, including a reported pit-exit line breach, which means some positions could change before the next round in Montreal on May 24.
