Scuderia Ferrari HP wasted no time in reclaiming its spot on the podium after a hiatus in China, securing a third-place finish for Charles Leclerc at the Miami Grand Prix. With a stellar performance in Australia and now in Miami, the team has clinched six podium finishes in as many races this season, showcasing its consistency and competitive edge. This latest achievement further solidifies Ferrari's position as the runner-up in the championship standings.

Leclerc's podium success was buoyed by a well-executed strategy, including a timely pit stop on lap 19 to undercut Oscar Piastri, who had overtaken him earlier in the race. Despite a promising position to potentially secure second place behind Max Verstappen, a Safety Car intervention following a collision disrupted the race dynamics. Lando Norris capitalized on the situation, clinching his maiden Formula 1 victory. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz faced challenges, encountering a tight battle with Piastri and missing out on podium contention.

Despite setbacks, Scuderia Ferrari HP leaves Miami with a commendable 38 points, consolidating its position in the championship chase with a total of 189 points, trailing the leader by 48 points. As the European season kicks off in two weeks with the Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell’Emilia-Romagna at Imola, Ferrari remains poised to continue its pursuit of glory on the racetrack.
