Re: Champion elimination alternative championship
Predictably, Piastri wins the Miami sprint ahead of Tsunoda and Gasly. The biggest surprise is home hero Sargeant's fourth place. However, Oscar's win streak comes to an end in the Grand Prix itself, as he only finishes fourth after a crash (but sets the fastest lap along the way, and actually manag...

Lando Norris: Finally! Even after the safety car, I was expecting Verstappen to overtake him, but he took a win in style.
Honorable mention to Ricciardo for an amazing result in the sprint (and the shootout before that).
