Norris seals Miami sprint win as McLaren shine in one-two
Lando Norris storms to victory in the Miami sprint, sealing a McLaren one-two with Piastri and widening his championship lead.
Lando Norris produced a dominant drive from pole to win the Miami Grand Prix sprint, giving McLaren a timely boost and extending his grip on the championship lead. The British driver held steady at the front throughout the 100-kilometre dash, fending off a hard-charging field and crossing the line with room to spare.
McLaren celebrated a rare one-two as teammate Oscar Piastri finished in second, reinforcing the team's strong form this season and signaling a resurgence after a tougher start. The result also underlined Norris's consistency as he heads into the main race weekend with pace and confidence.
Qualifying had already set the scene with Antonelli taking pole by narrowly edging Verstappen, but Norris's sprint victory altered the day’s narrative by flipping the expected order on the track and in the standings. The Spaniard completed a flawless weekend for McLaren, bolstering their push for a constructor battle and giving fans plenty to look forward to ahead of Sunday's race.
All eyes now turn to the main event in Miami, where Norris will look to convert sprint momentum into a full-scale win and continue shaping a championship narrative that is increasingly tilted in his favor.
