Andrea Stella believes both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris dealt with Max Verstappen’s spirited defence with similar levels of calculation. With Verstappen holding the lead off the start, McLaren had to fight back past other cars to tackle the Dutch driver – only for the reigning World Champion to defend with all his might against both Piastri and Norris.

Oscar Piastria baited Max Verstappen into corner No. 1, slid behind his rear wing and overtook him on lap No. 14 for a lead he would never lose Sunday en route to a dominant Miami Grand Prix victory.

The Australian glided past pole-sitter and race leader Max Verstappen at the start of lap 14 with the Dutch driver having struggled to hold him off for some time, but it was Piastri's papaya pal Norris who ended the GP feeling aggrieved by an incident involving the defending world champion.
