The F1 '24 season continues in the streets of Miami, Florida for the Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix and this race delivered the biggest upset of the season.
As the lights went off, the action in Miami was underway. Max Verstappen, who won the F1 Sprint race, leads and he was nearly hit by Sergio Perez. As Oscar Piastri made four overtakes on Lap 4 to reach P2, Lap 6 saw Lewis Hamilton slip through Nico Hulkenberg for P7, only to be regained by the latter.
As the action heats up, Lap 21 saw trouble for Verstappen as he unintentionally cut corners and therefore pitted for new tires, a chance for Oscar Piastri to jump through the lead. As Piastri leads in Lap 28, he drops to P3 and Lando Norris jumps to P1, meanwhile, the first caution was triggered when Hulkenberg sent homegrown hero Logan Sargent out of the race.
