Leclerc exits the pits in fourth. He looks OK. Pierre Gasly didn't see Norris, and made contact with him coming out of a turn. Schumacher sounds broken up on team radio. 5:04 p.m.: Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel collide in Lap 56. 5:06 p.m.: Max Verstappen is in the driver's seat for the win at Miami, unless he hits a wall. The Sporting News tracked live updates and lap-by-lap highlights for Formula 1's inaugural 2022 Miami Grand Prix below. Leclerc still holds the driver's championship lead over Verstappen.

The inaugural Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix attracted some of the biggest names in entertainment and sport, from David Beckham to Patrick Mahomes.

Reigning world champion Max Verstappen rounds out the top three. Kloss was later seen holding hands with husband Joshua Kushner on the grid. NFL player turned TV personality Michael Strahan returned to the paddock for the second day in a row, after he was spotted posing for selfies with fans outside McLaren’s garage.

Max Verstappen edged past Charles Leclerc, and Mercedes had a topsy turvy weekend. But was the track actually successful?

The important thing is that we’re able to race, and I will be able to race as well.” Ocon said on Sunday that he felt “50%” after the race, still feeling the after effects from Saturday’s crash. That was a shame not to see that implemented.” “When the car and tires are in the right window the car, except for the bouncing, feels really good to drive. Sainz and Esteban Ocon crashed in the same turn a day apart from each other, but both said the crash was harder than it should have been. So, I’m just grateful for everyone continuing to keep their heads down and for the amazing hard work that everyone is putting in.” There was improvement in terms of how the team was finishing. George Russell previously highlighted that Imola was “the first weekend where I’ve been truly struggling with my back and, like, chest pains from the severity of the bouncing. With over 20 laps to go, the AlphaTauri star had contact with Fernando Alonso and was running slower. Typically the cause is related to the cars’ aerodynamics. Meanwhile, the Ferrari star appeared to struggle despite running in the top two spots consistently throughout the afternoon, saying at one point “The car is so difficult to drive,” before pitting for hard tires. Weather, including the heat, aside, numerous drivers complained about the track, and Mercedes had a topsy turvy weekend that leaves everyone wondering if they have found a possible fix for the porpoising.

Things immediately felt different when former American race car driver Willy T. Ribbs was handed the microphone to conduct the post-race top-three interviews.

Once at the podium, Verstappen, Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were handed American football helmets which they were forced to wear. Christian Horner and his wife Geri broke out into a run as they were forced to make the long journey while escorted by police bikes. Next, personnel from Red Bull and Ferrari made a long journey under Hard Rock Stadium to the podium on the other side.

So who wins the Miami Grand Prix 2022? Ferrari and Red Bull have established themselves as the unquestioned top teams in Formula 1 2022, and Mercedes has some kinks to work out before McClure will be back to recommending Hamilton as a top pick. You can see all of the model's F1 picks at SportsLine. One massive shocker: Sergio Perez surprises the field and makes a strong run at taking home his first win of the 2022 F1 season.

Mercedes is trying to figure out the solution to "porpoising," the aerodynamic phenomenon that has affected their Formula 1 race cars this season.

"And that reaction is bouncing the car back up and you hit suction again, you bounce it down, you hit the ground..." "And you just go slow," Russell said. Each season, Formula 1 institutes new rules and regulations for how cars can be constructed, with the goal of eliminating "dirty air" so drivers can race closer to one another.

After only claiming P12 on the grid for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, George Russell's race prospects weren't looking particularly rosy.

“I think it’s mixed feelings to be honest,” he added, “because obviously based on where we were yesterday, today was a good result. We don’t really understand why that is, so there is work to do.” “You sound like a bit of a genius when things like that happen but it was a total fluke,” was Russell’s candid opinion of his strategy call after the race.

Second grand prix victory on the bounce for Formula 1's Dutch champion after staving off late surgeback from Leclerc.

After the race, he said he's started talks on a new contract with Red Bull, but neither side is in a hurry to complete a deal. Serena Williams ducked into Mercedes' hospitality and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny arrived at the venue with Perez and spent most of pre-race at Red Bull with the Mexican driver. Promoters never had a general ticket sale because of crushing early demand and the campus surrounding Hard Rock Stadium was the place to party over the last three days. Verstappen went unchallenged until a late crash between Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly brought out the safety car and setup a 10-lap sprint to the finish on the 19-turn, 5.41km circuit built around Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miamia Dolphins NFL team. Verstappen started third after Ferrari locked out the front row with Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr in qualifying. His first day racing around the new Formula One circuit in Miami was absolutely horrible.

The Red Bull defending world champion overtook pole-position Charles Leclerc early in the race and held the position to the chequered flag.

33/57 Hamilton is in seventh and George Russell is in fifth. 32/57 Verstappen’s lead over Leclerc is 7.5 seconds, and those two look the likely 1-2 come the end of the race. 42/57 Hamilton is coming in while the safety car is out, and on soft tyres. Leclerc is showing the fastest times around the middle section, and in comes Sainz to change his tyres, having led for barely a lap. 38/57 Verstappen has the fastest lap now, worth an extra point, of course. 41/57 Famous last words from Phil as Lando Norris comes a cropper, and there is a safety car. 51/57 Leclerc continues to chase down Verstappen, who is better round the bends even if the Red Bull has the better on the straight. 46/57 The fans in the stands look a bit perplexed by this safety car malarkey, it’s not the racing they came to see. Verstappen gets a jump on Leclerc as Perez chases Sainz. Is there a yellow flag on the play? Perez in fourth, with the Mercs of Russell and Hamilton in fifth and sixth. 53/57 This is close at the front, and any mistake now would surely decide the outcome. 52/57 Leclerc and Verstappen go at it once more.

Leclerc – who finished in P2 – attempted to overtake Verstappen later in the race after a Safety Car but to no avail. Verstappen – starting the race in P3 – got off the line brilliantly, leapfrogging the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz at the start into Turn 1, before later overtaking Leclerc on Lap 9. Zhou Guanyu, Sebastian Vettel and Kevin Magnussen were the other drivers that failed to see the chequered flag.

Max Verstappen won at Palm Beach and at Homestead in his first season of car racing in 2014, and he won in Miami today. • It was his second consecutive win in ...

That never happened at all in 2020 or 2021. Miami was a trip into the unknown in many respects. • In P6, his team mate Lewis Hamilton finished outside the top four in the USA for the first time in his F1 career.

Celebrities, glitz and glamor were all there Sunday for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix. Max Verstappen won after a bit of late-race drama.

As for our first taste of the sport, nothing topped the paddock as the place to see and be seen. Race organizers were pledging even before the race to see what they could do to enhance the chances of lead changes that are a lifeblood of this sport. Inside of a year, workers constructed 173 tents, 53 hospitality structures and 36 garages, all the while knowing every bit of it will have to go, except for the paddock area, now that the show’s over. Robbie built this stadium with his own money, opening in 1987 with those orange seats, no canopy and little resemblance to what it is today, both physically and practically. Before anyone feels sorry for Stephen Ross’ wallet, on the positive side, there is a possibility that down the road, some structures won’t have to be rebuilt every year. “It was very important for us to deliver a great event,” Garfinkel said. Now, Formula One — which historically came to only 10 other U.S. cities — sees fit to make Miami Gardens and Hard Rock Stadium No. 11. Garfinkel recently met with FIFA representatives in another pitch to secure matches for World Cup 2026 — including his new desire to land the final. It was hot stuff, all right, thanks to a heat index of 93 at the start and teams’ curious decision not to install air conditioning in their cars. Two things that fall into the latter category were food concessions and ticketing. “I think I need a drink, mate,” he said. I think we kept it exciting until the end.”

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz says the Formula 1 drivers have petitioned the FIA to clean the Miami Grand Prix track's first corner to reduce the risk of a start ...

But he suggested that the lack of grip at the pit exit is "going to be interesting". Williams' head of vehicle performance, Dave Robson, says the drivers back in the pack will have to "accept the lack of grip" off-line at the start in a bid to gain ground. "Because it's basically like driving on a dry line and out of the line feels like it's wet – so we need a bit of help there from the race direction to help us."

A joke”, “not Formula 1 standard” and like it's “wet” off-line – drivers have slammed the surface of Miami's new stadium track.

But it’s a shame. “But in saying that, this isn’t a nice surface to drive on. “It’s not our fault. “It’s basically like driving on a dry line and out of the line is feels like it’s wet – so we need a bit of help there from the race direction.” “There’s nothing we can do. We can’t race.

F1's inaugural race in Miami was a strong first effort. With the race now complete it's time to hand out our grades for the hotly anticipated event.

Improving the track somewhat might prove more of a challenge, and we don't yet know what it will cost or if it's reasonably feasible to eliminate the bumps or if the grip level across the track comes up a notch or three with a bit of time. But the race certainly wasn't bad, and some drivers also opined that the dopey, fiddly chicane that comprises Turns 14 and 15 should be removed in order to potentially improve the show, or at least the flow of the circuit. Point is, at these ticket prices and an almost instant sellout, and the paying fans' general reaction to the product they received, the proof of concept is there. The 2022 Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix was an absolute success overall: off the track, on the track, and—key to its long-term prospects—financially. Well, at least it seemed like it was financially successful: Dolphins CEO and Miami GP boss Tom Garfinkel said his corporation won't make money on this first race, but that's typical in this wild game of hosting F1 when organizers have to spend tens or even hundreds of millions up front to put it all together. Had it not been for the safety-car period, though, the race appeared likely to deliver little drama for much of its distance. The race resumed with 10 laps to go, Verstappen leading Leclerc, Sainz, and Perez, the second Red Bull now holding the advantage of fresh tires following a late pitstop. But Verstappen got around Sainz on the outside of Turn 1 (so much for zero grip), and during the opening stages it looked like it might stay that way for a good while. It was obvious a lot of the fans are new to the sport and have some way to go before they understand F1's more arcane, complex nuances. The 57-lap race started with Leclerc's Ferrari on pole ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz in second place and Verstappen in third. Even "regular" grandstand tickets were expensive, with the cheapest ones priced at $640. Pro tip: General admission "Campus Pass" tickets—$300 for Friday practice sessions, and creeping to $500 for the race, or $1,200 for all three days—might be some of the best general admission tickets in all of pro sports. It's unfair to credit or blame race organizers for weather, but speaking of "hotly," the 2022 Miami F1 Grand Prix was a scorcher. A fair chunk of it normally serves as parking lots, but you'd never know it unless you noticed the parking-space lines painted on some of the asphalt you walked on as you explored the grounds.

The grid for the 2022 Miami Grand Prix is set. Here are complete results from Formula 1's qualifying on Saturday.
