However, the seven-time champion was handed a drive-through penalty after the race for speeding in the pitlane.

As it was given after the race, it was converted to a 20-second time penalty and demoted Hamilton to P16, handing Tsunoda the final point in a double points finish for RB.

This incident is not the first time Hamilton has been subject to investigation by the FIA in Miami.

The Brit was summoned to the stewards after the Sprint Qualifying after his pit crew were seen to service Hamilton without their helmets on, but no further action was taken.
