Lando Norris had Miami "luck" on his side once again at the Miami International Autodrome, on his way to securing sprint victory.
The Briton started in third but quickly overtook Kimi Antonelli after the first corner, due to the Mercedes driver having gone off the circuit.
Norris settled into the delayed wet sprint behind team-mate Oscar Piastri, who he suddenly caught in the closing stages as the circuit dried.
It created a dramatic flurry of pit stops, as drivers quickly pitted to switch from intermediate to slick tyres. Piastri was pitted first having been in the lead, before Norris struck gold.
A crash for Fernando Alonso caused a safety car, which the Briton pitted under, losing him less time and gaining him the lead.
It was reminiscent of Norris' 2024 Miami win, which he claimed courtesy of a well-timed safety car.
"My luck in Miami seems pretty good at the minute, so I'm happy," said Norris. "But the pace was still very good. It's always just difficult these races, you never know when to box.
"You box early, it paid off for for Lewis and he had a good strategy. Or do you stay out late and maybe get the safety car, you know?
"So it's worked two years in a row. I probably would prefer if this happened tomorrow rather than today, but I'll take it. I'm happy. Good job by the team. So, yeah, it was good fun."
