Liam Lawson claimed his first points of the Formula 1 season with a seventh-place finish in a chaotic sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix, earning two championship points.

The wet-to-dry race saw Lando Norris take the win ahead of McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, narrowing Piastri’s championship lead.

Lewis Hamilton finished third, while Max Verstappen dropped to the back after receiving a 10-second penalty for an unsafe pit release that caused a collision with Kimi Antonelli.

Multiple crashes, including Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso, brought out a safety car, while Lawson credited his strategic tyre switch and strong opening lap for the result.
