F1's sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix saw several changes to the world championship standings.

The sprint race weekend at the Miami International Autodrome sees a maximum of 58 points on offer for teams with the two races around the circuit, while drivers can pick up a maximum of 33 in their quest for drivers' championship glory.

And the Miami Grand Prix sprint race saw a complete flip in the competitive order to what we have been seeing throughout most of 2026 so far.

2025 world champion Lando Norris won the race, while his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri finished second in a one-two for the reigning champions.

Meanwhile, Mercedes' George Russell and Kimi Antonelli could only finish down in fourth and sixth respectively, with Antonelli being handed a five-second penalty for too many track limit infringements.

It means that Antonelli missed out on two points to his championship rival Russell, meaning that the young Italian now only leads the championship by seven points, ahead of the main event at the Miami International Autodrome on Sunday.
