Worth Watching Score

6.4

Not a classic, but a landmark: Lando Norris scored his maiden F1 win in Miami, capitalizing on a perfectly timed Safety Car to jump Max Verstappen and then control the restart with impressive pace. The front was light on sustained battles, despite plenty of passing overall, as Verstappen couldn’t mount a real challenge after the caution. The main flashpoints came from Logan Sargeant’s crash after contact with Kevin Magnussen (triggering the Safety Car) and a Sainz–Piastri clash that reshaped the McLaren–Ferrari fight. If you’re after nonstop drama, you can skip it; if you want to see a popular first-time winner deliver under pressure, it’s worth a watch.
