  1. Team Radio - Verstappen to Red Bull

    Max Verstappen: "****, sorry guys."

  2. Safety car

    Lap 8/57

    Replays of the race start show Max Verstappen in an uncharacteristic spin - a full spin no less. "Sorry, guys," the Dutchman said to his pit wall after losing places. Verstappen also had some moments with Liam Lawson and Carlos Sainz, the Spaniard fuming on the radio with the four-time world champion.

    The incident between Pierre Gasly and Liam Lawson is going to be investigated by the stewards.

    Whilst everyone is calming down, Isack Hadjar is letting off steam. We've yet to see how all of this unfolded, but he has been banging his steering wheel and halo. He's pretty fiery.

  4. Team Radio - Gasly to Alpine

    Pierre Gasly: "I'm OK."

  5. Safety car

    Lap 7/57

    The pack follow the safety car around the Miami circuit as Pierre Gasly safely gets himself out of the striken Alpine. His car was flipped over by the Racing Bulls of Liam Lawson, the New Zealander locking up as he tried to defend his position as Gasly went for the move on the outside.

    That battle in the front has given Lando time to close up and drive a little bit more cleanly while they are weaving all over the place to defend. The Mercedes definitely had the pace.

  7. Safety car

    Isack Hadjar is out of this race! The Frenchman is banging his wheel in anger, before he jumps out of his car safely.

    And another incident! Pierre Gasly has crashed and the Alpine looks in a right mess. Seems the Frenchman has tangled with another car in a separate incident!

  8. Team Radio - McLaren to Norris

    Team engineer: "Lando, stay with them, be patient, let them yo-yo."

    Lando Norris is looking a bit more comfortable, looking more like he was in the sprint race and closing up on Kimi Antonelli. We've got three cars in a fight at the moment at the front.

  10. Antonelli and Leclerc battling

    Lap 5/57

    Kimi Antonelli is hussling Charles Leclerc for the lead of this race. The Italian wants to regain control and takes the Ferrari man with ease. But the Monegasque driver hits back within a few corners and it's Leclerc who comes out on top by the end of lap five.

    There was definitely some elbows out moments there with Max Verstappen and Alex Albon as he had to try and make it clear that he was coming back, that he is working his way back to his position in the front row.

    He's dropped back now, having a bit of a fight on his hands. A race-long battle for him to get anywhere near the guys at the front now.

  12. Lap 4/57

    Colapinto and Hamilton battling during the Miami Grand PrixGetty Images

    Lewis Hamilton feels he is limping in his Ferrari now after battling with the Alpine of Franco Colapinto. The stewards have taken a look at the incident and decided to take no further action.

    Hamilton is in sixth, Colapinto is just behind in seventh.

  13. Lap 3/57

    Franco Colapinto was another driver trying to jump the pack at the start but by Turn 11, the Argentine had found himself in a tangle with the Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton. Race control have noted that contact between the two cars, and will now investigate.

    Charles Leclerc is a second clear of title leader Kimi Antonelli, as George Russell overtakes the McLaren of Oscar Piastri for fourth.

  14. Lap 2/57

    Charles Leclerc is leading with Kimi Antonelli in second, Lando Norris in third and Oscar Piastri in fourth. Max Verstappen is having to make up ground after his moment at Turn One and has climbed to eighth ahead of the Racing Bulls of Liam Lawson.

    Nico Hulkenberg is into the pits after being caught up in the opening-lap drama.

  15. Go! Go! Go!

    Lap 1/57

    Kimi Antonelli gets a better starts this time but Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc are closing quickly. Verstappen nudges ahead of the Mercedes but he's too hot on the brakes and ends up spinning and losing places. The Dutchman is way down in ninth place, and now Leclerc leads!

    Anon: If Antonelli wins today, do they spray champagne on the podium or just hand him a Capri Sun because he’s underage in the U.S.?

  17. Formation lap

    Kimi Antonelli is crawling to the line followed by Max Verstappen's Red Bull and the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. The grandstands are packed with fans, and the rain is nowhere to be seen for now.

    It's a short run down to Turn One, so who leads? We're about to find out...

  18. Antonelli has 'momentum'

    Damon Hill

    I am increasingly impressed [by Kimi Antonelli]. I think that he has had a bit of a lucky break at times this year. He has now got momentum, he's got the bit between his teeth. He's got three pole positions on the trot and not only that, the style in which he's come to Miami, after the break. He looks confident. He's always been at the sharp end the whole weekend. The question is, can he get the thing off the line?

    Kev: I genuinely have no idea what to expect today but craziness. So many unknowns all coming together.

  20. Formation lap

    The rain hasn't arrived at the Miami circuit yet, so for now, it's the C4 medium tyre that has been selected up and down the grid for this 57-lap grand prix.

    Red Bull's Isack Hadjar will be starting his day from the pit lane after being excluded from qualifying, while title leader Kimi Antonelli is aiming for a third consecutive victory from pole position.

    But the Italian has four-time world champion Max Verstappen for company on the front row, and his starts haven't been the best this season.

    If heavy showers do hit the track, then all bets are off.
