F1 Miami Grand Prix 2024 results: Final classification with penalties applied

The sixth round of the 2024 season provided a dramatic twist, with McLaren's Lando Norris emerging victorious for the first time in his career.

After 110 grand prix starts and holding the unwanted record for most podium finishes without a win, Norris finally climbed the top step.

Starting fifth on the grid, the McLaren star capitalised on a cheap pitstop under a safety car triggered by a collision between home hero Logan Sargeant and Kevin Magnussen.

The Haas driver, who accumulated a staggering six penalties throughout the Miami weekend, was slapped with a 10-second penalty for the incident and is now two penalty points away from a race ban.

Max Verstappen, despite topping the sprint and qualifying, could only manage a second-place finish, crossing the line 7.612 seconds behind the jubilant Norris.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished third, while his team-mate Carlos Sainz dropped from fourth to fifth behind Sergio Perez, after receiving a five-second time penalty for colliding with Oscar Piastri.

Lewis Hamilton, in a Mercedes that lacked pace this weekend, finished a distant sixth, followed by Yuki Tsunoda, George Russell, and Fernando Alonso.

The race also saw Alpine finally break their points duck for the season, with Esteban Ocon securing a tenth-place finish.
