The British McLaren driver started the race in fifth but executed the drive of his life as he took advantage of the safety car to pit and retain his lead ahead of second-placed Verstappen.

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! F***!" a delighted Norris told his race engineer.
"I love you all, I love you all so much. We did it Will, we did it!
"Thanks mum, thanks dad - this one’s for my grandma."

This is the first time Verstappen hasn't been victorious at the Miami Grand Prix and just the second time the reigning champion hasn't won this season, with six in 2024 happening so far.

MCLAREN’S LANDO NORRIS won the first Formula One race of his career with a shock victory over world champion Max Verstappen in the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday. Norris, in his 110th race for McLaren, beat Verstappen by over seven seconds with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc finishing third.

Verstappen, who began on pole, had won four of the opening five races of the season and leads the world championship standings. It looked like business as usual with the Dutchman leading until lap 24 when he pitted and Norris’s McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri took over the lead.

The safety car came after Kevin Magnussen clipped Logan Sargeant, sending the American Williams driver into the wall, bringing a yellow flag. Norris took full advantage of the safety car and with Verstappen struggling to catch up, he secured his maiden win. “I knew it, I knew it when I came in today,” yelled a delighted Norris on the team radio.

The wait is over! At long last, Lando Norris can call himself a Grand Prix winner as he claimed an impressive victory in Miami.

While Max Verstappen had not enjoyed his usual level of comfort, it was the perfect Safety Car timing which opened the door for Norris to snatch the lead, as he ditched Verstappen from there to deliver on his prophecy that a 2024 victory was coming. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc would complete the podium.

It proved to be a comfortable P4 finish for Sainz, but the true story ahead was Norris, who for the first time in Formula 1, became a Grand Prix winner here in Miami! Verstappen was forced to make do with the second step on the podium, as Leclerc completed the top three.
