F1 Miami GP live commentary and updates - race

And this is where we'll leave you for the evening!

Click here for the top five takeaways from an exciting Miami Grand Prix, and we'll see you in three weeks' time for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.

Take it easy!

A handful of 'incidents noted' - Leclerc will be investigated for continuing in an unsafe condition, plus an investigation for the Russell/Verstappen contact. 

Oscar Piastri: "Yeah, it's not been the most straightforward of weekends, qualifying was a bit messy for both of us. 

"The pace seemed more encouraging again today. Had to make a few overtakes, at the end it was a pretty late charge. But it was tricky here with these conditions, so thanks to the team, clearly we were a step closer in performance once again."

Lando Norris: "A mixed bag really, we just got undercut. We should have boxed first - Kimi did a good job. Hats off to Kimi and Mercedes, they drove a good race. Easy to make mistakes out there, but he didn't make any big enough for me to capitalise on.

"I have to be happy, as a team we have to be happy, I'm gutted to miss out on the win. I didn't have the pace to get back past him, so I have to take it on the chin."

Kimi Antonelli: "The start was not as bad as yesterday, I didn't expect Charles to brake that early! To avoid him, I locked up. I was a bit lucky with what happened, and then did a mistake with energy management trying to overtake Charles and lost the pace to Lando.

"The team did a great strategy, we did a massive undercut, and I was able to bring it home."

Hell of a race, that. Antonelli gets some congratulations from Bottas, Perez, Colapinto, and Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Russell has been noted for moving under braking, while Verstappen's pit-lane exit still requires further investigation.

So, Antonelli's undercut was the key there - Mercedes overturned a 2.2s gap in the stops to beat Norris.

Hamilton finishes his lonely afternoon for seventh, Colapinto takes eighth after a brilliant weekend, followed by Sainz and Albon.

Leclerc did indeed hit the wall, and he was limping around at the end - which is why he was such easy prey at the end.

"How did we not win this? We should have won this...but we've made good progress, we can get back to winning and make it easier for ourselves," Norris says.

He definitely doesn't now - Leclerc spins, and somehow keeps the car out of the wall! Can he get to the end? What's the problem?

"We see a problem with the rear wing dropping out," Norris is told, and he's dropped to 3s behind Antonelli.

Verstappen is now continuing to defend from Russell, while Piastri now passes Leclerc on the penultimate lap! Big snap for Leclerc, so I don't know if he has a riposte here...

But Verstappen just about holds the place into Turn 1 - and Russell's got some wing damage there! "I think he hit my tyre," Verstappen reports, which might explain that.

Russell dives past, but Verstappen then reclaims the place again at Turn 17.

Piastri is within a second of Leclerc now. 

Russell's now on Verstappen's tail - he was a second faster on that previous lap. He takes a look into Turn 11, but doesn't quite have the purchase to make a move there.

Verstappen throws a shape on the inside of Turn 17, which might give the Mercedes driver a run...

Antonelli now has a 2.4s lead, so I think it's battle over at the front.

Russell is 1.6s behind Verstappen, so he'll have to clear the Red Bull relatively sharpish. 

Piastri isn't done with Leclerc yet either. He's within a second and a half of the Ferrari.

Piastri is told about some potential light drops, but it does seem we've evaded the rain.

Meanwhile, Norris has now lost some time behind Bortoleto, but finally gets past at the end of the lap. 

Antonelli clears the lapped Ocon, and Bortoleto is next. Norris gets a little bit of time in the traffic, but not anything meaningful.

Despite Antonelli's complaints, he seems to be hanging on. Norris is once again 2s behind the Mercedes driver.

Russell might have time to catch Verstappen as the Dutchman is now looking a bit slow - and the Briton reports that the car feels 'more together'. Verstappen's running in the mid-1m33s, Russell still in the 1m32s.

Verstappen doesn't have much in reserve for a fightback into Turn 1, so that's probably Piastri's position.

Russell was told he'd be in line to fight with Verstappen too, but I don't necessarily think he's got enough time unless the Dutchman's tyres really fall off the cliff.

"These downshifts, they don't work," Antonelli reports - and Norris is getting a little bit closer once again, he's within 1.6s now.

Piastri is on Verstappen's tail, but doesn't make the move into Turn 11. This is good for Leclerc, and it buys the Ferrari driver some time.

Indeed, Piastri passes into Turn 17.

Leclerc steals past Verstappen into Turn 1, and claims third - but Verstappen fights him back and retakes it into Turn 5! 

But Leclerc returns the favour, getting back ahead into Turn 11 and will now seek to build enough of a break to evade a fight-back in Turn 17. Piastri is also catching the Dutchman.

Leclerc is now in the window here, he just needs to stay close in this first sector - but it's difficult, as Verstappen is quick in that particular area.

"We have a second strike for track limits, so no more," Antonelli is told.

Make that about a second - Leclerc's reeling Verstappen in here. But as Murray Walker once said: catching is one thing, passing is quite another.

Norris complains that Antonelli is skirting track limits. 

Antonelli's found a 1.9s lead over Norris now, so it seems like the rear-tyre coaching has helped the Italian teen out.

Leclerc is now within 2s over Verstappen - and can actually see him just ahead. He's getting close.

Norris had a bit of a poor second sector there, which has very much helped Antonelli's cause here.

"Leclerc should catch Verstappen in about three laps, that's when it could get tasty ahead", Piastri is told.

Antonelli's found a bit of breathing room here, 1.1s up on Norris. The Briton seems to get to within 0.8-0.9s, but can't get any closer.

"I'm just four-wheel sliding everywhere, it feels awful," Russell reports. 

Leclerc is now 3s behind Verstappen.

Leclerc is now 4.5s off Verstappen now, so that'll come alive towards the end. Piastri might have a chance at Verstappen too if he can maintain his pace.

Russell is told that he's also forecast to catch him by the end.

The current top 10 order is still: Antonelli, Norris, Verstappen, Leclerc, Piastri, Russell, Hamilton, Colapinto, Sainz, and Albon. Bearman is 0.9s behind Albon, with Ocon 12th. Bortoleto, Lindblad, Alonso, Perez, Stroll, and Bottas complete our running order so far.

Antonelli is maintaining his lead here, it's at a bit of a stalemate here.

Leclerc's found a bit more time out of Verstappen, and cuts the gap to 5.3s. 

Norris is very close to Antonelli now, but the Mercedes seems to have some really good traction out of these corners - so it makes Norris' job difficult here.

Verstappen is still third, albeit 11.4s down, with Leclerc about 6s behind him. 

We have a bit of spread among the top 10 now, although Bearman's closing in on Albon and looking to take 10th.

Antonelli and Norris now encounter traffic in the shape of Perez. "My rears are gone, they're dropping quite a bit", says the leader.

Engineer Pete Bonnington tells him that it's just tyre temperatures, and tells him to keep them in check. 

Norris is now within a second of Antonelli, and he'll be looking to make a play for the lead soon. 

Russell is still sniffing around Piastri's gearbox, but the McLaren is just keeping ahead.

...but Piastri indeed clears the Mercedes into Turn 1! That's fifth for the Australian, and he has a 3.6s gap to Leclerc to sort.

At least, that's what it looked like; Russell then mounts a quick riposte, and repasses into Turn 12. Can Piastri repass into Turn 17? Yes - but they've lost a second to Leclerc in that fight.

Antonelli has picked up the pace a bit now, 1.4s up on Norris. Yet, he's reporting some throttle issues too.

Verstappen is 7s behind Norris, with Leclerc now 7.3s behind the Red Bull.

Russell is 2.6s behind, with Piastri just behind him. Hamilton is 5.3s behind in P7.

Piastri tries to get a move done in Turn 17, but can't get him there...

Piastri is right on Russell's tail now, as the Mercedes has been dropped by Leclerc.

Antonelli is reporting a problem with his gear paddle, which will be music to Norris' ears. 

Antonelli is 1.3s up on Norris, with Verstappen now 4s behind them. Leclerc is closing the gap to the Red Bull driver.

Colapinto rejoins in eighth, having been well clear of Bortoleto (who hasn't stopped yet). 

Leclerc passes Russell and will now attempt to close down Verstappen - who is feeling the older tyres now. Colapinto, yet to pit, separates them.

Piastri is reeling the pair in very quickly, however - as Colapinto now pits.

Russell and Leclerc are now in clear air, and the Ferrari is pushing hard to reclaim the place. They're both about 10s behind Verstappen.

Piastri indeed had a slow stop, hence why he's fallen behind a bit.
