Red Bull secured double points after a fierce, hard-fought Miami Grand Prix.
Starting on pole position, Max Verstappen was immediately thrust into a battle with McLaren's Lando Norris through the first two turns. Verstappen held his position on the inside, with Norris having to back off after going off-track, allowing the Dutchman to move ahead of the pack.
However, a Virtual Safety Car was called in not long after, bringing everyone back together. At the restart, Verstappen had to fend off Norris' teammate Oscar Piastri. The championship leader eventually overtook the Red Bull driver after a close fight.
Soon, Norris had climbed back from P6 to P3 and was hot on Verstappen's tail. The two championship rivals had a few fierce laps, with hard racing between the pair before Norris eventually got the better of him and pushed ahead.
Verstappen had a smooth pit stop, far improved from Saturday's mishap that resulted in a 10-second penalty for colliding with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, but not long after, another VSC was called. This allowed drivers ahead of Verstappen to take advantage and leave him with the task of climbing the field again.
Mercedes' George Russell, occupying P3, managed to create a large gap that prevented the four-time World Champion from being able to chase him down before the end of the race. This saw Verstappen miss out on a podium spot, finishing P4.
Yuki Tsunoda, meanwhile, climbed one spot to P9 early on in the race and looked comfortably in the points before the pit stop. Tsunoda was caught speeding in the pit lane and was handed a 5-second penalty. The Japanese driver managed to climb back from P13 to sit P10 as the final laps started to wind down.
He kept pushing hard, increasing his gap on Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar in P11. As Tsunoda crossed the line, he was 5.184 seconds ahead, which was enough to secure him P10 and another point after being promoted to P6 in Saturday's Sprint Race.
Both Red Bull drivers were unlucky with the timing of the VSC, as they both pitted just before, and may have made up even more time and spaces had they managed to hold on a bit longer on their initial stint.
However, while they will feel that they could've had more, it's double points once again and Tsunoda walks away with four points from both races.
