Miami GP: Oscar Piastri claims dominant win with McLaren one-two

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Oscar Piastri extended his championship lead to 16 points with victory ahead of teammate Lando Norris at the Miami Grand Prix.

No other driver, including reigning champion Max Verstappen who started from pole position, had the pace to match the two McLarens, with Piastri securing his fourth victory of the season by 4.6 seconds ahead of Norris.

Norris, who started from second position, attempted to pass Verstappen for the lead in the opening corner of the race, but found himself hung out to dry on the outside of Turn 2 and dropped to fifth as Piastri moved up to third position from fourth on the grid.
