And...a post-race black-and-white flag for Alonso with regards to his track limits. So I guess that's no penalty, meaning he keeps P9.

TONIGHT...Magnussen gets a five-second penalty for his contact with Stroll, Ricciardo gets a five-second penalty for leaving the track, and Sainz takes his shirt off.

Alonso has a further investigation awaiting him, apparently leaving the track and gaining an advantage. Meanwhile, the Vettel/Schumacher incident will receive no further action.

"I think I need a drink, and I think you also need a drink," Verstappen says over the radio. It's been scorchio in Miami, so worth knocking back a few waters before opting for anything stronger.

I say late Alpine switch, I mean "Alonso has a five-second penalty applied". Thanks to Haydn for reminding me!

It's a 1m31.361s for Verstappen, four tenths clear of Leclerc. That's probably it for now. Let's wrap it up so we can knock off early.

Oh no! The Schumacher and Vettel love in is over as the pair clash! Vettel had got ahead of him and Ocon at Turn 17 but the battle continued to Turn 1 and Schumacher and Vettel crash at the apex.

Leclerc's giving it his all here, but Verstappen might have seen the worst of a choppy restart and is just stretching out the gap now.

Perez absolutely launches it down the inside of Sainz into Turn 1 at the start of lap 52, but just overcooked it, and the two were millimetres away from contact! Sainz holds third for now!

Leclerc had a look into Turn 11! He got DRS on Verstappen, probably went a bit deep but he gets another dose of DRS into Turn 17 to catch back up. Sainz holds off Perez, Russell passes Hamilton. Blimey.

Magnussen vs Stroll is now under investigation - the pair are still running nose to tail in 14th and 15th.

Meanwhile, Bottas goes too deep into Turn 17 and gets tag-teamed by both Mercedes! Hamilton's up to fifth, with Russell now sixth.

Sainz, meanwhile, goes wide into Turn 17 and will surely be vulnerable to Perez now that DRS is enabled.

Leclerc's not letting go of Verstappen for now, as the Monegasque seems to have fired up his tyres quickest, but Verstappen now gaps him ever so slightly.

Gasly has pitted having reported damage - which was a given due to his coming together with Alonso and then Norris. So he's the third retirement from this race.
