Both cars come home in the points at the Miami International Autodrome
- Lewis Hamilton finished P6 with George Russell P8 in Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.
- George lined up P7 on a used Medium tyre whilst Lewis started P8 on a new set of the Hard compound.
- George was unfortunate to get boxed in on the outside at the start and dropped to P10, whilst Lewis ended the opening laps in P8.
- Both drivers were able to make progress from there in the early stages, pitting from a net P7 and P8 at the time.
- A Safety Car period just a few laps later helped the VCARB of Tsunoda jump our two drivers. Lewis, who showed strong pace in his now Medium shod car, dispatched him quickly and then the McLaren of Piastri.
- He pressured Perez throughout the final stint but couldn’t quite pass the Red Bull and had to settle for P6.
- George meanwhile was less happy on the Hard tyre and had to settle for P8.
- The team also sends its congratulations to Lando Norris and McLaren; Lando took his maiden victory in F1 whilst McLaren take to the top step with Mercedes power for the first time since Monza 2021.
