Miami Grand Prix 2025 Sprint results: Lando Norris wins, Oscar Piastri second, Lewis Hamilton finally returns to podium

Lando Norris seems to have his way with the rain every time it gets tough on the track. The McLaren driver was extremely hungry for a victory and went on to win the rain-hit F1 Sprint at the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday. He had won the first race of the season in Melbourne, the Australian Grand Prix, which too was held under storm and rain. His Sprint race win in Miami comes a year after he had won his first ever Formula 1 race at the Miami Grand Prix last year.

Lando Norris’ Sprint race win in Miami will be as special as his first career win in the city. On the second spot is his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, who has already won three out of five races this season. On the third spot is Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari. This too is good news for Hamilton fans who were eagerly waiting to see him on the podium again. The 40-year-old F1 star won the first F1 Sprint of the season in Shanghai.

The F1 Sprint was suspended by 28 minutes due to heavy rain and low visibility. Even before the race could start, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc crashed into the wall on his way to the grid. He couldn’t participate in the Sprint. During the race, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso had a terrible crash into the wall which left a lot of debris on the track. He ejected from the car safely. The Sprint also couldn’t go as planned for Max Verstappen who was handed over a 10-second penalty for an unsafe release, which pushed him far behind in the list.
For many weeks, Norris had been venting his frustration on not get a second win this season after the one in Australia. Talking about why he was so hard on himself, he had said in an interview with Formula 1, “Sometimes I have excuses for things, [but] I’m never proud of using any of them, and 95% of the time I think that I can do a better job, no matter what it was. Maybe the car wasn’t quick enough, but I thought, ‘I still could have done this better, I could have done that better’.”

“I’ve always been very hard on myself, because I’ve never been hard on anyone else… I’ve never been hard on my team, my mechanics, the car, the set-up. I’ve always worked on myself more than I’ve ever blamed anyone, let’s say, and that’s just made me into the person that I am.” He had said that kind of mentality makes him work on himself. And the results are already visible.
