Norris wins chaotic sprint and says: 'That was fun!'

- BY HARRY SMITH

LANDO NORRIS benefited from safety car luck to beat Oscar Piastri as the Miami Grand Prix sprint race descended into chaos.

Lewis Hamilton rounded out the top three, while Max Verstappen finished at the back of the field following a 10-second time penalty.

Norris (right), who took his first grand prix win in Miami last year, said: "My luck in Miami seems pretty good at the minute, so I'm happy.

"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 Lewis, and he had a good strategy - or do you stay out and maybe get the safety car.
