McLaren's Dominant Miami Sprint Race

McLaren dominated the Miami Grand Prix sprint race, with Lando Norris taking first, and

teammate Oscar Piaestry grabbing second for a clean 1-2.

Finish.

Norris controlled the 19 lap race from pole position, pulling away easily, while Piaestry

started third and held off Ferrari's Charles LeClaire at the end, finishing about four

seconds behind.

This marked McLaren's strongest showing this formula one season, snapping Mercedes' early

winning streak after a break due to Middle East tensions.

Piaestry picked up seven points, Norris 8, as the team rode out key upgrades that paid

off big time in the heat.

Drivers were buzzing post-race.

Piaestry called it a solid morning overall, though he admitted needing more pace to hang

with Norris heading into qualifying.

Norris was all smiles, loving the top step again and shouting out the team's hard work

to get them back winning.

Championship-wise, young leader Kimi Antonelli slipped to sixth and saw his lead shrink to 75

points, with Mercedes' teammate George Russell.

At 68, Piaestry jumped to sixth on 28 points after back-to-back runner-up finishes, while

Norris sits on 33.

With the Miami race set from Monday morning, McLaren carries real momentum could be another

big day if they keep this fire going.
