Liam Lawson was denied his first points finish of the Formula 1 season after receiving a five-second penalty at the Miami Grand Prix sprint race.
The Kiwi driver had initially crossed the line in seventh but was dropped to 13th after stewards ruled he caused a collision with Fernando Alonso while attempting an overtake on lap 15.
The incident, which sent Alonso into the wall, echoes a similar clash between the pair during the 2024 US Grand Prix sprint.
Meanwhile, McLaren dominated with Lando Norris claiming victory ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri, and Lewis Hamilton finishing third.
