00:00And here we go, green flag at the back means it's time to look to the lights in Miami.
00:06And the Miami Grand Prix is underway. A good reaction time for the top three.
00:12It's Max Verstappen holding the lead but he locks up and Lando Norris is going to have the chance to get on the power.
00:17The two rivals are side by side and Verstappen through a defensive shape roaring around the outside to second place is Kimi Antonelli
00:24and he'll be challenging for the lead because Verstappen had to go super defensive but Verstappen got his elbows out.
00:29And maintains P1.
00:31Elbows out indeed, I said the grip level would be low and I think everyone's just found that in the opening corners.
00:37Lando Norris down the sixth position, tried to go for the lead, lost out Verstappen, Antonelli and Piastri then Russell and Elvin your top five.
00:46Yeah Verstappen only knows ruthless defense and that's exactly what he put on Norris once again sweeping through turn two there.
00:53So he covers off the inside line but that puts him on the slippy stuff and there he has the lock up.
00:58Now he's desperate for some traction, they're side by side but I think that'll be okay for Verstappen.
01:02I don't think Lando was significantly ahead coming around the outside there and he never really got to an apex point at turn two.
01:09And I can tell you that they've looked at it and they've gone no further action for the drama at the start of the Grand Prix.
01:15There is Lawson appearing on the outside and doing that right over the curb.
01:22There's not much more that Jack could have done to be honest there.
01:25Kimi Antonelli, sixth place finisher in the Formula 2 championship last year.
01:30Junior champion on multiple occasions but under pressure right now for second place in the Grand Prix.
01:36And the championship leader Oscar Piastri roars on by and takes second place.
01:41And Lando Norris is trying to do the same thing and does so, he's up to P5.
01:46The two Williams have swapped around the order that they started this Grand Prix.
01:52And let's see whether they'll be allowed to race, they will.
01:54And Carlos Sainz is taking the position back that he lost at the start.
01:58This could be epic and it is a wide moment for Russell.
02:06Open the door for Lando Norris and that is some way to take fourth position in the race.
02:14Max Verstappen is trying to hang on to the race lead, he did so.
02:18Lando Norris though is improving.
02:21Another position recovered and Lando Norris is third in the race, he's still a contender in this one.
02:28This is Fernando Alonso and round he goes.
02:30It's not very Fernando Alonso is it?
02:32He's having a difficult weekend and just looping it on his own.
02:37The Australian driver, the man from Melbourne closing in on arrival for the title.
02:42Again it's super defensive move for Max Verstappen.
02:45Again he's trying to go all the way around the outside, he won't be given room.
02:48The door closed in his face, what a scrap for the lead.
02:54We'll go back to the battle for the lead because we're going to go side by side again.
02:58Max Verstappen positioning the car, but how many corners can he keep this up?
03:02Again he checks the mirrors, again he sees Oscar Piastri closer than he's ever been before.
03:08The world champion versus the championship leader into the first turn.
03:12It's late on the brakes for Max Verstappen, he keeps the lead for the moment.
03:16But Piastri powers by and Oscar Piastri takes the lead.
03:23Very exciting obviously.
03:24He was sending it in super late to try and hold that inside line and he was sending it in from offline as well.
03:31That is Albon going by and we currently believe that they were told not to race each other.
03:38And he's got P6 in the order at the moment.
03:43Norris trying to improve to make it a 1-2, stays on the outside line, also wants the first turn.
03:49Max Verstappen in the navy red bull knows that he is struggling with the brakes,
03:54he's struggling to keep the mighty McLarens behind.
03:57And is it going to be a 1-2?
03:58Will it be another late braking move?
04:00Again they're wheel to wheel, again there's nothing between them.
04:03And again evasive action needs to be taken in the opening corners of the lap for Lando Norris.
04:08And I think we're going to get another battle live because Lando Norris is the closest that he's ever been.
04:14And this time he's got the inside line.
04:16Lando Norris dives to the inside at 10-11, but he made the move off the road.
04:22Will Max Verstappen be complaining about that one?
04:24Lando Norris is up to second position, but did he keep all four wheels off the road?
04:29And Max Verstappen's nearly into the back of Lando Norris.
04:32Extraordinary couple of corners.
04:35He goes late on the brakes.
04:36Lando Norris saw that one coming.
04:39He let him go.
04:40He let him go because I think he was over track limit.
04:44He went off the side, while driving me off the track.
04:47So I need the position back.
04:51This is surely the moment for Lando Norris to take the place and improve to second position.
04:57He does so.
04:58He keeps the car on the road as he makes the pass.
05:01And now he will go chasing after his teammate.
05:04And is that an engine failure?
05:07Is that a technical problem for Oliver Behrman, who is pulling off?
05:11Virtual safety car is deployed.
05:14Let's listen in.
05:16Good night.
05:17An old school engine failure then, isn't it?
05:19For Ollie Behrman.
05:23So virtual safety car is ending now.
05:25Russell's in the pits.
05:26It's a really bad stop for Mercedes though.
05:28As Russell comes out of the pit lane and you can see the red bull is right there.
05:32Max Verstappen has been jumped by George Russell.
05:38Let's join another battle on track then.
05:40Here we go with Antonelli and Alex Albon.
05:43Williams having an incredible day out there.
05:45It might be about to get even better right now.
05:48Albon trying to get through.
05:50He allows Antonelli to go deep and he takes the position away.
05:54Fantastic stuff.
05:55As Sainz gets past Charles Leclerc at turn number one as well.
05:59Williams having a dream couple of corners.
06:03Virtual safety car is out again.
06:06Second power unit retirement in a matter of laps really.
06:12The green flag will fly once again.
06:14And Miami International Autodrome and Carlos Sainz,
06:17who passed the Ferrari a couple of laps ago, will be under big pressure.
06:21Will he be given room?
06:21He'll have to be given room.
06:23And Hamilton will try and pick up the pieces if they get much closer.
06:27This is super tight between the Williams and the Ferrari.
06:30But the DRS belongs to Charles Leclerc and the corner.
06:34Oh, Hamilton's going to get both of them.
06:37No, just through on Carlos Sainz.
06:39I thought we were in for a repeat of Silverstone in 2022.
06:46And the Australian driver will see the chequered flag first.
06:51Oscar Piastri wins the Miami Grand Prix.
06:54Three Grand Prix victories in a row.
06:57It's a 1-2 for the team.
07:00Timing the virtual safety car crucial.
07:01But Russell converts and he beats Max Verstappen to the line.
07:05Verstappen in fourth.
07:06And we're racing all the way to the end.
07:08The former Ferrari man and the man who replaced him.
07:11Banging wheels in the final corners.
07:13Antonelli was sixth.
07:14Then it was seventh for Charles Leclerc.
07:16And Hamilton hangs on to P8.
07:20Late send.
07:22Hamilton turns in.
07:23We're definitely in the land that gave us the phrase rubbing is racing.
07:27And in the end it changed nothing.
07:28A little bit clumsy that one from Sainz.
07:31People have to be done to break it there.
07:32And it was Lando last year.
07:35It's Oscar in 2025.
07:38Taking home the largest trophy on Sunday.
07:42It's a special place to be.
07:43And it's celebrations for McLaren once again.
07:48We are heading to Imola next.
07:50And then on to Monaco.
07:52Then to Spain with another triple header ahead of us.
07:54So I'm going to get started.
08:05In the end.
08:07There's a special place.
08:07I'm going to get started.
08:09I'm going to get started.
08:10We'll get started.
08:11Thanks for having me.
08:12I'm going to get started.
08:14We are taking part.
08:16Like this.
08:18I'll be taking part.
08:20I'm going to get started.
08:20I'm going to get started.
08:22As you can do this.
