Heavy rain began about 90 minutes before the start and 18 of the 20 cars began on intermediate tyres – with Haas pair Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg on wet rubber from 14th and 17th on the grid.Magnussen and Hulkenberg were flying and by the seventh lap the Dane charged past Oscar Piastri to take fourth while his team-mate was up nine places to eighth.

But the three-time world champion ran across the kerbs at turn one, putting himself under the cosh from the fast-moving Norris. Verstappen’s engineer told him “what goes around comes around” – a reference to Norris being aided by a safety car to beat the Dutchman in Miami.
