Thank you for following this race on Le Figaro. Good late evening to all.

Superb victory of Oscar Piastri at Miami who dominated this race before Lando Norris and George Russell. Fourth victories in six races for the Australian who confirms his place as a leader in the world championship.

Oscar Piastri begins his last lap. His fourth victory this season is close.

The positions are frozen in front. Piastri is four seconds ahead of Norris and Russell, 3rd, three seconds ahead of Verstappen.

Five laps from the finish, Hamilton restores the position to Leclerc who passes 7th and will try to seek Antonelli, two seconds in front.

Four seconds separate Piastri and Norris but behind it is the desert. Third, Russell is 30 seconds

Norris continues to go back to Piastri ahead since the Briton is now five seconds to ten laps from the end.

Certainly nothing goes to Ferrari. The Monegasque has let Hamilton pass but now he complains about the latter’s rhythm which is not fast enough according to him.

The leader lost a little time since Norris returns six seconds from his teammate. There are 14 laps left.

Fourth, the Dutchman has regained pace and hunts Russell. He returned two seconds from the Mercedes.

In turn 39, Hamilton won the case and Leclerc lets him pass. Hamilton is 7th but Leclerc finds himself under the pressure of Sainz.

The Briton is blocked behind Leclerc but Ferrari does not want to exchange the positions at the moment.

Fourth abandonment in this race. After Doohan, Bearman, Bortoleto, it is Lawson who abandons.

The Briton is 3 seconds ahead of Verstappen which cannot keep the rhythm of the Mercedes for 3rd place. Note that Russell is in mediums while the Dutchman is hard.

Meanwhile, in front, the McLaren are trachers. Piastri leads the race with 7 seconds ahead of Norris. Meanwhile, Russell, 3rd, sails more than 25 seconds from Piastri.

The Sauber driver also broke its engine and the virtual safety car is deployed during the 34 round for a short time.

Speeding in the lane of the stands for Japanese who received five seconds of penalty.

The Williams walk hard and Sainz proves it by doubling Leclerc and takes 7th place.

Like the McLaren, Russell stops under security car diet and comes third just ahead of Verstappen.

At the end of Tour 29, under virtual safety car regime, the McLaren stop to change their gums and lose the least. It’s perfect and the two cars come out in the lead.

Bearman broke his engine and this causes the virtual safety car to be intervention.

With his new gums, Verstappen easily erases Hamilton and leaving Leclerc’s hunting, seven seconds in front.

At the end of the 26th lap, the Dutch weighs the harshs and came out 7th. Albon imitates Verstappen and spring 9th behind Antonelli.

The Australian is easy in front of almost 9 seconds ahead of Norris and more than 16 on Verstappen.

The fourth and seventh stop to put on the harsh. The Mercedes pilot waste time and comes out 9th while Sainz takes over the 11th track.

The rain was announced about ten minutes ago but still nothing in Miami. Some change their gums to put hard gums like Ocon, Hadjar, Bortoleto.

Hamilton passes Ocon at the end of the 22nd round and takes the tenth place.

1. Saucers
2. Norris +9.2s
3. Verstappen +10.4S
4. Antonelli + 12.5s
5. Russell +14s

This time, Norris takes the best on Verstappen in the 18th round and Verstappen gave way after enormous resistance. Norris is now 8 seconds from Piastri.

In the 17th round, Verstappen is overwhelmed by Norris but outside the track. The Briton takes second place but relates this position in Verstappen in stride so as not to be penalized.

With this Verstappen-Norris fight, Piastri made the hole in front of now three seconds in advance.

Verstappen is eaten by Norris at the start of the Tour 15 but the Dutchman defends strongly on Norris at the first turn and maintains the Briton behind.

Magnificent exceeding Piastri at turn 1 of Tour 14. The Australian pushes Victapn to the fault and takes the lead. Norris will attack Verstappen now.

For the moment, only one French is in the points zone and it is Ocon which is 10th. Hadjar is 12th while Gasly is 17th.

Piastri attacks twice Verstappen at the end of Tour 10 and at the start of the Tour 11. The Dutchman defends strong and keeps his head.

Lando Norris takes the best on Kimi Antonelli in the 9th round. He is 3rd and hunts the Verstappen-Piastri duo, more than four seconds ahead.

The various engineers indicate to their pilot that the rain should arrive in less than ten minutes.

1.2 Second is the gap between Verstappen and Piastri in mind. A fairly stable gap but Piastri attacks.

Battle of British here. Norris exceeds Russell in the first sector. In hard tires, the Mercedes suffers. Antonelli is under pressure now.

With the DRS, Piastri easily doubled Antonelli and takes second place. He went on Verstappen. Norris erases him Albon and finds himself 5th.

The race is relaunched at the start of Tour 4 after the Doohan car was left the track.

Jack Doohan is stopping on the track. After a missed departure and contact with Lawson, the Alpine driver cut his tire and was arrested in the 2nd round. Virtual safety car.

1.5 Second ahead for Verstappen on Antonelli which is attacked by Piastri.

Verstappen is missing its braking at the first turn and is attacked by Norris but the Dutch remains in the lead and force Norris to leave outside. Verstappen in front in front of Antonelli and Piastri. Norris is 6th.

The lights have just died in Florida and the pilots set off towards the first turn.

The pilots set off for the heating round here in Miami. Unsurprisingly, the pilots opt for mediums at the start.

Pilots are starting to settle in cars ten minutes from departure.

On the French side, Estéban Ocon was the most brilliant. With his haas, the Normand managed to join the Q3 and will leave 9th in a few moments. Quite the opposite of Pierre Gasly. After his point marked in the sprint, the Alpine pilot was released in Q1 and will leave the stands. In the middle of all this, Isack Hadjar, 11th, will be in the spot for a top 10.

Like yesterday, thunderstorms threaten the Miami circuit which was swept by one of them a few hours ago. For the moment, the track is dry and the start should therefore be done in Slicks tires but the rain is expected during the race.

Released in Q2 after his third place in the sprint, Lewis Hamilton will only leave 12th. His teammate, Charles Leclerc, has certainly managed to climb in Q3 but he has rushed from the eighth row. Ferrari lives a new complicated weekend in Miami.

Probably upset after the sprint, the quadruple world champion reacted in qualification. As in Japan and Saudi Arabia, Max Verstappen slammed an exceptional tour in Q3 to offer pole, the 43rd in career. Lando Norris’s nose and beard, over 65 thousandths. Kimi Antonelli accompanies Oscar Piastri on the second line. The beautiful surprise came from Williams with Carlos Sainz (6th) and Alex Albon (7th).

This Floridian weekend is a Sprint weekend. Saturday was a first race and it was Lando Norris who won after a departure on a damp track before finishing on a dry track. The Briton preceded Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton while Max Verstappen, penalized by ten seconds, took only 17th place after a security race end. Note the point marked by Pierre Gasly, 8th in this sprint while Isack Hadjer took 10th place and Esteban Ocon the 12th.

If Miami marks the end of the Grand Prix around the world and the imminent return of Europe, it is also the first of the three rounds that will argue in the USA. The Florida urban circuit is a bit like that of Las Vegas but clearly differs from that of Austin, the other two American GPs.
