2022 Miami Grand Prix race results
Max Verstappen won the first-ever Miami Grand Prix, having pried the lead off Ferrari's pole-sitter Charles Leclerc early in the race and defended it in an exciting and strategic battle.
The Dutchman took the lead on lap 9 and never looked back, despite a late safety car period that bunched up the field. Leclerc finished 3.7 seconds behind in second place, with Carlos Sainz Jr. completing the podium for Ferrari.
The race was marred by two safety car periods, the first caused by a collision between Nicholas Latifi and Fernando Alonso on lap 41. The second was caused by a spin by Lando Norris on lap 54. The safety car periods helped Verstappen to maintain his lead, as he was able to pit for fresh tires under the caution.
Verstappen's victory was his second of the season, and it moved him into the lead of the drivers' championship standings. Leclerc is now second in the standings, 19 points behind Verstappen.
