2026 Miami F1 sprint results: Norris wins, Bortoleto DSQ

Lando Norris led home McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to win the 19-lap Miami Formula 1 sprint on May 2, 2026, as the classification was reshaped post-race by penalties and a disqualification. The reigning world champion, who on Friday became the first non-Mercedes driver to take a pole position in 2026, controlled the sprint from lights to flag. Charles Leclerc completed the podium for Scuderia Ferrari HP.

The result marked McLaren’s second consecutive Miami sprint one-two, with Piastri keeping Leclerc at bay in the closing laps to secure the team’s clean sweep.

Championship leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli crossed the line fourth but received a five-second penalty for repeatedly exceeding track limits, which dropped him to sixth. George Russell was promoted to fourth and Max Verstappen to fifth after the penalty was applied.
