For the second straight day, Formula 1 has amended results from the Miami weekend. One day after Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto was stripped of his 11th-place sprint finish at Miami International Autodrome for a technical infraction, officials adjusted the Miami Grand Prix classification.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was summoned to the stewards for three potential offenses following a late spin and brush with the wall on the final lap as he tried to re-pass McLaren's Oscar Piastri for third. He was reviewed for driving a damaged car in an unsafe condition, leaving the track and gaining an advantage on more than one occasion, and his aggression during a battle with Mercedes' George Russell.
The race ended with Leclerc in sixth, but the stewards imposed a 20-second time penalty — the equivalent of a drive-through if issued during the 57-lap race at the 19-turn, 3.363-mile (5.412-kilometer) Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The official reason for the penalty was that Leclerc left the track "on several occasions without a justifiable reason". The 20-second sanction dropped him from sixth to eighth, promoting teammate Lewis Hamilton to sixth and Alpine's Franco Colapinto to seventh. The adjustment affects both the drivers' and constructors' standings.
Updated Miami Grand Prix results: - 1 Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes - 2 Lando Norris, McLaren - 3 Oscar Piastri, McLaren - 4 George Russell, Mercedes - 5 Max Verstappen, Red Bull - 6 Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari - 7 Franco Colapinto, Alpine - 8 Charles Leclerc, Ferrari - 9 Carlos Sainz Jr., Williams - 10 Alex Albon, Williams - 11 Ollie Bearman, Haas - 12 Gabriel Bortoleto, Audi - 13 Esteban Ocon, Haas - 14 Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls - 15 Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin - 16 Sergio Perez, Cadillac - 17 Lance Stroll, Aston Martin - 18 Valtteri Bottas, Cadillac - 19 Nico Hulkenberg, Audi - 20 Liam Lawson, Racing Bulls - 21 Pierre Gasly, Alpine - 22 Isack Hadjar, Red Bull
