Max Verstappen got released from his pit box right into the path of Kimi Antonelli, who was trying to pit as well - so that will be unsafe release.

And in the end Antonelli couldn't get into his box, flying bits of debris right in front of me. The front wing was seriously damaged on that Red Bull.

Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso has hit the wall.

He confirms that he's OK.

Carlos Sainz has a puncture on his Williams and he makes his way back to the pit lane and is out of this race.

All the front runners now come in to the pits and bolt on either the medium or soft tyres.

Chaos has officially unfolded here in Miami!

Oh wow!

There's contact in the pit-lane between Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli.

The pit stops are rolling in now!

Lewis Hamilton has the soft tyres bolted onto his Ferrari, let's see if the front runners will come in...

At the front of the field, McLaren's Lando Norris has clawed his way back to race leader Oscar Piastri. The time between the two is just over half a second.

The McLarens [Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris] have got to stay out. They're in a race against each other.

George Russell in his Mercedes has made it clear that he's got more pace than his team-mate Kimi Antonelli in fourth.

DRS has just been enabled, so let's see if we get any overtakes here.

Yuki Tsunoda is the first driver to come into the pits, he's now on the medium compound.

Yuki Tsunoda has just come into the pits and has gone on to a medium set of tyres. Red Bull are the first to go.

Carlos Sainz has said on the radio he still feels like he's on the right tyre [intermediates]. But we're in that tricky position here - do you risk it? Or do you try and hold on until the end?

It's been a clean race so far which is surprising given the drama leading up to it.

The teams and drivers are debating whether to stick on the slicks for the remainder of the race.

Are there enough laps left to come in, change tyres and recover your position? Or will we see people persisting and going until the end on bald intermediate tyres?

Carlos Sainz in the Williams is creeping to the back of Esteban Ocon as he chases down 12th place.

Oscar Piastri in his McLaren is now pulling away, Lando Norris currently sits just under three seconds behind, with Max Verstappen sitting in third.

"My visor is just absolutely ****. No visibility!"

The biggest battle at the moment is between Carlos Sainz (13th) and Esteban Ocon (12th)!

It's a racing incident [between Kimi Antonelli and Oscar Piastri at the first corner]. If I was the race director, I would look at that and say you've got two cars going down to Turn One who out-brake each other and the guy who has the inside line has the advantage.

Championship leader Oscar Piastri is still leading the way but his team-mate Lando Norris is hunting him down.

Due to the extra formation laps after the race delay, the race is now 18 laps, not the usual 19 laps for the sprint race.

Lewis Hamilton is claiming [on the team radio] the car won't turn but I think what he actually means is it is understeering more than he wants.

The track is drying quickly but there is still a lot of spray from the cars.

All of the drivers are on the intermediate tyres.

Lewis Hamilton is already on the team radio saying his Ferrari car "won't turn".

"It's drying very quickly."

Pole sitter Kimi Antonelli is now in fourth, it's the two McLarens up front in first and second.

Lando Norris sits 1.762 seconds in second behind his team-mate Oscar Piastri.

A clean opening lap for the drivers.
