Max Verstappen wins sprint as Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton clash in Miami

Max Verstappen won the sprint race in Miami as Fernando Alonso accused Lewis Hamilton of “arriving like a bull” as they collided at the first corner.

Verstappen controlled the 19-lap race – which was interrupted by an opening-lap safety car after Hamilton was involved in a coming together with Alonso – to claim a dominant win.

Charles Leclerc finished second for Ferrari with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez third. RB’s Daniel Ricciardo started and finished an impressive fourth with Hamilton originally finishing eighth following a ding-dong battle with Kevin Magnussen.

However, Hamilton was penalised for speeding in the pit lane, dropping him to 16th.

Great start to Saturday in Miami! Max wins and Checo in P3
