  1. Lap 27/57

    Max Verstappen is lifting his Red Bull up the field with every lap. The Dutchman has already pitted under the safety car, so he is in prime position to take advantage when the frontrunners head in.

  2. Lap 26/57

    Lando Norris is clear of Kimi Antonelli in second but McLaren are starting to think when the best time is to pit the race leader for some hard tyres.

  3. Lap 25/57

    Alex Albon lets Charles Leclerc through, not putting up too much of a fight for ninth place. Leclerc gains another place to P8 with a move on old Ferrari pal Carlos Sainz, so George Russell, who came out ahead after the pit stop, is his next objective.

  4. Team Radio - Leclerc to Ferrari

    Charles Leclerc: "Next time you make a decision, please speak with me. I'm here as well."

    One thing to say about putting fresh tyres on is, the more rubber you've got on the tyres, the easier it is to keep temperatures. So maybe that is what they are thinking, if it does rain but only for a very short time, maybe it is easier to keep the tyres hot and grippy in that wet weather, if they are fresh.

  6. Team Radio - McLaren to Piastri

    Team engineer: "So, possible rain in the next couple of laps. Should affect turn 7 and 8 first, could get heavy."

  7. Lap 24/57

    The phone at Ferrari is pinging once again. It's Charles Leclerc, who wants to be consulted about big decisions next time around. That's the pit wall told.

  8. Team Radio - Leclerc to Ferrari

    Charles Leclerc: "Why did we stop? When is the rain?"

  9. Lap 23/57

    Charles Leclerc is questioning why he stopped then? Is the rain actually making an appearance? The Monegasque driver is losing ground stuck in traffic, as Lando Norris, Kimi Antonelli and Oscar Piastri continue in the top three places.

  10. Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent in Miami

    I can only conclude from that, that the Mercedes don't think there's rain coming, because why else would you stop now now for some fresh tyres?

  11. Leclerc and Russell pit

    Lap 22/57

    Ferrari and Mercedes beckon Charles Leclerc and George Russell to pit for fresh hard rubber. Russell manages a quicker stop and comes out ahead of Leclerc.

    Russell is now ninth with Leclerc in 10th, with traffic coming up for the two drivers.

  12. Team Radio - Cadillac to Perez

    Team engineer: "We expect a shower in 2 to 3 laps and we want to survive it. Potentially coming first in sector 2, sector 2."

  13. Lap 21/57

    Eyes are firmly on the prize for Max Verstappen and another place is gained by passing the Alpine of Franco Colapinto. Other drivers are being called into pit, including George Russell and Charles Leclerc.

    This is where the drivers really are exposed as whether they have got the instinct they need to survive. We've heard the news with Checo, 'we want to survive this'. They're not talking about being flooded or something like that, they are talking about making it through by keeping the same tyres on, not coming in for a pit stop because it sounds to me like there is going to be a short downpour and may just last a very little amount of time.

  15. Lap 20/57

    Miami could get a bit worse for Max Verstappen, as the Dutchman will be investigated after the grand for potentially crossing the line at pit exit. World champion Lando Norris, meanwhile, is three seconds up the r oad on Kimi Antonelli.

  16. Jennie Gow
    F1 pit-lane reporter in Miami

    There's no sun reflecting on the pit lane now. We saw this morning that when it happens, it happens really quickly.

  17. Top five

    Lap 19/57

    1. Lando Norris (McLaren)

    2. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)

    3. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)

    4. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)

    5. George Russell (Mercedes)

  18. Lap 18/57

    Charles Leclerc's tyres aren't looking too healthy after the Ferrari man's battles with various drivers today. Sergio Perez gets a call from Cadillac and is told a shower is due in three laps' time.

  19. Team Radio - Verstappen to Red Bull

    Max Verstappen: "Mate he squeezed me onto that bollard! What the ****, that's not allowed."

  20. Lap 17/57

    Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz battle for track position during the F1 Grand Prix of MiamiGetty Images

    Lando Norris has clean air to play with out in front and is clocking fastest laps for fun.

    Max Verstappen is on the radio to express his frustration at the Williams of Carlos Sainz, who he has just overtaken, for squeezing him out. Verstappen is up to eighth place, with Franco Colapinto next on the to-do list.
