Norris and Verstappen had ample on-track action in Miami at the Miami International Autodrome. The two championship protagonists gave their all to hold on to P2, but in the end, it was Norris who had the last laugh, thanks to a superior McLaren challenger.

It all started after Oscar Piastri passed Verstappen for the race lead. Once Piastri sped past, Verstappen had to defend his position from Norris, who was right behind him. For several laps, the two had on-track skirmishes and wheel-to-wheel battle.

As none of the drivers wanted to yield, the battle went on for long until Norris found an opportunity to slot his McLaren up ahead and take P2 in the race. Although there were no crashes involved in their on-track battles, Norris termed it 'risky' nonetheless.

Here's what the #4 driver said in the post-race interview:

"It's always that with Max, you know that it's (either) crash or no pass, that's what you get, to put him in a perfect position."

“I mean, I try to do my best. We put ourselves in a good starting position. And I tried to, of course, give it a good battle, have a bit of fun out there as well at the same time. But yeah, we couldn’t keep them behind.
“And then, yeah, the rest was just a little bit unlucky with the VSC. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter a lot when you are P3 or P4. We are here, of course, to target a win. And we were very far from that today."

Max Verstappen is in P3 of the Drivers' Championship with 99 points, trailing Oscar Piastri by 32 points and Lando Norris by 16 points.
