Oliver Bearman has been dumped out of the points of the Miami sprint after collecting a penalty. From 19th and last on the grid, as Red Bull opted for a pit-lane start for Yuki Tsunoda after making suspension set-up changes in parc fermé, Haas driver Bearman capitalised on a chaotic race to claim a point for eighth at the end of the 18 laps. Bearman, however, has been handed a five-second penalty for an unsafe release into the path of Stake's Nico Hulkenberg at a time when the field made tyre changes from intermediates to slicks due to the wet-track start following a heavy downpour ahead of the race. The penalty means Bearman drops to 15th in the classification, allowing Tsunoda to claim eighth after taking the chequered flag in ninth. A stewards' document read: "Car 87 [Bearman] was released into the path of Car 27 [Hulkenberg] which was arriving in the fast lane, causing car 27 to brake and take evasive action."
