Here are the complete results from the 2023 Miami Grand Prix, including updated championship standings after the fifth round of the championship.

Max Verstappen has won the Miami Grand Prix from ninth place on the grid, increasing his lead in the Drivers’ Championship over his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.

Starting on the Hard compound tyre, Verstappen had a tentative start to slip to 10th place while Perez set about establishing a lead from pole position.

But Verstappen’s race quickly came to life as he began picking his way through the field, including a spectacular double pass on Kevin Magnussen and Charles Leclerc down the pit straight.

Moving up to second place after further overtakes on Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso, Verstappen closed to within a second of Perez before the Mexican pitted to ditch his Mediums and switch to the Hards.

Verstappen took over the lead, with the question being whether Perez could close up through the middle part of the race on the fresher Hard tyre. But Perez ended up losing time to Verstappen, making it almost neck and neck once the Dutch driver did dive into the pits.

That stop came on Lap 45, with 12 laps to go, with Verstappen coming out 1.5 seconds behind Perez. Armed with fresh Mediums, it took just two laps for Verstappen to catch and pass his teammate to reverse the finishing order from last weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Verstappen’s win opens up a 14-point lead over Perez in the Drivers’ Championship, while Fernando Alonso returned to the podium with a comfortable third-place finish in his Aston Martin.
