Lando Norris has won a Formula 1 Grand Prix for the first time ever as he beat Max Verstappen to the Miami Grand Prix .
Norris, who has emerged as one of the grid's brightest stars following his debut as a teenager in Melbourne in 2019, has so often been the nearly-man. He also escaped damage when he clattered into a red and white traffic bollard at the chicane on the 22nd lap. With the chasing pack neutralised, Norris dived in for his only change of rubber to keep hold of his lead. Not only was he at the sharp end of the pack, but he had fresher tyres to boot, too.After four laps, the safety car peeled in, and Norris' nerves were put to the test with Verstappen, in his superior Red Bull machine, breathing down his neck.
Suddenly the improbable looked possible with Norris continuing to increase his margin. One second became two, which became three and with ten laps to go he was four seconds clear.
