Lando Norris used a conveniently timed safety car and strong pace on Pirelli’s hardest tire compound to finally claim the first victory of his Formula 1 career by winning Sunday’s (May 5) Miami Grand Prix.
Norris was able to take a free pit stop under a safety car period after Logan Sargeant and Kevin Magnussen crashed on lap 29. On the restart Norris pulled away from Max Verstappen, who he had jumped in the pits, and maintained his lead for the remainder of the race while Verstappen struggled with handling on the hard tires.
Next up on the F1 schedule is the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix from the Imola Circuit in San Marino. Coverage will begin Sunday, May 19, at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN.
