Piastri: Turn 1 "argy-bargy" helped me
After reeling off a move on Antonelli, Piastri immediately got himself onto Verstappen's tail. He had to be patient to get past but, when he did, there was no looking back.

Piastri admitted he struggled a bit on the hard tyres versus Norris, but had enough in reserve to complete the job.
Oscar Piastri: "I won the race I wanted to, so yesterday was a tricky day, the sprint was what it was, but qualifying was one of my trickiest sessions of the year. To come away with a win on Sunday is an impressive result.
"Bit of argy-bargy at Turn 1 which helped me, I was aware enough to avoid Max coming through at Turn 1, but I had a good pace advantage.
"I think the first stint was really strong. On the hard stint I was really struggling, so it's good I built that gap up in the first stint. But it started to come back to me towards the end.
"I remember two years ago in Miami we were genuinely the slowest team, I think we got lapped twice. To now have won the grand prix by over 35s to third is an unbelievable result. That's the hard work of everybody."

Norris second after Turn 1 skirmish with Verstappen

He got dropped by Piastri while trying to pass Verstappen, and admitted it hurt not to win in Miami.
Lando Norris: "It's never the best feeling, but the team did an amazing job so can't fault them. Oscar drove well, Max put up a good fight, and I just paid the price.
"What can I say? If I don't go for it, people complain, if I go for it, people complain. With Max it's crash or don't pass, and I just had to get him in the right position."

Russell takes third - albeit 33s behind Norris
After pitting under the virtual safety car, Russell leapfrogged team-mate Antonelli and rival Verstappen to get the final place on the podium.
But he was so far behind the McLarens that it took him a very long time to get back to parc ferme...

Russell, speaking to Jenson Button: "Yeah, I'm really happy to come away with P3 as I've been struggling this weekend personally. The McLarens were well down the road.
"I was pretty calm and felt good within the car to keep [Verstappen] behind me. I think Lando's upset with me because I hurt his leg in the Lego race!"

Norris has closed the lead to 6.6s as it stands, and still very much wants to win this. The two McLarens have dropped Russell by 21s now.
Hamilton is still angling for the move, asking "you want me to sit here for the whole race?". Leclerc is losing time to Antonelli, but Hamilton might have to do the move himself.
"Want to keep the DRS to Charles," Hamilton is told, but doesn't love that idea. Presumably, Ferrari is aiming to keep Sainz behind rather than chase Antonelli...
