MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) Oscar Piastri maintained his advantage in the Formula 1 championship fight by winning the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday for his fourth win through six races this season.

Piastri has now won three consecutive F1 races for McLaren Racing, where he and teammate Lando Norris are trying to dethrone four-time defending champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull.

Piastri is the first McLaren driver to win three consecutive F1 races in 28 years; Mika Hakkinen did it with a win in the 1997 season finale and then victories in the first two races of 1998.

Norris earned his first Grand Prix victory last year at Miami when he snapped Verstappens two-year winning streak at the course surrounding Hard Rock Stadium. Norris also won the sprint race on Saturday Piastri dominated but a late safety car cost him the victory but Verstappen won the pole in qualifying.

Verstappen, who announced the birth of his first child Friday morning, has been determined to disprove the myth that fatherhood would make him a more conservative driving. It was evident as he darted away at the start and then aggressively held off Norris challenge for the lead.

The Red Bull and McLaren were side-by-side and Norris was trying to edge ahead of the Dutchman, but he ran off track and lost four spots. Norris said Verstappen forced him off track and there was nothing he could do but try to avoid running into a wall but F1 took no action against Verstappen.

Norris recovered and picked his way back toward the front, but not before Piastri took control away from Verstappen on the 14th of 57 laps. McLaren has decided it will allow Piastri and Norris to race each other cleanly without team orders, and Norris was cleared to challenge his Australian teammate for the victory.

In the waning laps, Norris was able to close the gap but could never catch Piastri and settled for second in a 1-2 finish for McLaren. The two held a nearly 40-second advantage over George Russell of Mercedes, who finished third.

Verstappen faded to fourth.

Alex Albon of Williams was fifth, Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes was sixth and Charles Leclerc was seventh after Ferrari ordered Lewis Hamilton to give his teammate the position in the closing laps. Hamilton was eighth.

Carlos Sainz Jr. was ninth for Williams and Yuki Tsunoda was 10th for Red Bull.

Doohan in doubt

Jack Doohan ran into another car on the opening lap and then crashed on the second lap a showing that wont quiet chatter the rookie is on the verge of being replaced at Alpine by Franco Colapinto.

There have been media reports in Argentina that Colapinto will replace Doohan at F1s next race, later this month in Italy. It was dismissed at the start of the Miami weekend by Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes, who indicated as it is today the Australian would still be in the seat at Imola.

I think it was a sponsor from Argentina off-camera giving his view on Franco, when hes going to be in the car. Im sure theres a lot of people in Argentina whod like him in the car this Sunday, Oakes said about the speculation. Weve been pretty open as a team that thats just noise. Jack needs to continue doing a good job. But its natural that theres always speculation there.

As it is today, Jack is our driver along with Pierre (Gasly), he continued. Weve been pretty clear on that. We always evaluate, but today that is the case.

Doohan, who didnt complete two laps Sunday and finished last, has yet to score a point this season through six races. His best finish was 13th at the Chinese Grand Prix.

佛罗里达州迈阿密花园（美联社） - 奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里（Oscar Piastri）在周日赢得了迈阿密大奖赛，保持了本赛季六场比赛中的第四场胜利，从而在F1锦标赛中保持了他的领先优势。

皮亚斯特里（Piastri）已经为迈凯伦车队（McLaren Racing）赢得了三场连续的F1比赛，他和队友兰多·诺里斯（Lando Norris）正试图推翻红牛（Red Bull）的四届卫冕冠军马克斯·维斯塔潘（Max Verstappen）的王座。

皮亚斯特里（Piastri）成为28年来首位连续三次赢得F1比赛的迈凯伦（McLaren）车手；米卡·哈基宁（Mika Hakkinen）在1997赛季的最后一站和1998年首两场比赛中获胜。

诺里斯去年在迈阿密赢得了他的首个F1大奖赛胜利，当时他在Hard Rock Stadium周围赛道上打破了维斯塔潘两年来的连胜纪录。周六的冲刺赛中，诺里斯也取得了胜利——尽管皮亚斯特里占据优势，但最后一辆安全车让他的胜利化为泡影——不过维斯塔潘在资格赛中获得了杆位。

维斯塔潘（Verstappen）在周五早上宣布了自己第一个孩子的出生，他决心打破“成为父亲会让他驾驶更加保守”的迷信。在比赛开始时，他迅速地冲了出去，然后果断地挡住了诺里斯（Norris）的领先挑战，这一点很明显。

红牛（Red Bull）和迈凯伦（McLaren）并驾齐驱，诺里斯（Norris）试图从荷兰人（荷兰人指另一名赛车手）身旁超车，但他冲出了赛道，损失了四个名次。诺里斯表示维斯塔潘（Verstappen）逼迫他离开赛道，他除了尽量避开撞墙外别无他法，但F1并未对维斯塔潘采取任何行动。

诺里斯恢复过来并努力向前面进发，但在第57圈的第14圈时，皮亚斯特里从维斯塔潘手中夺回了控制权。迈凯伦车队决定允许皮亚斯特里和诺里斯干净地彼此竞争，而无需执行团队命令，诺里斯被允许挑战他的澳大利亚队友以争取胜利。

在比赛的最后几圈，诺里斯（Norris）能够缩小差距，但始终无法追上皮亚斯特里（Piastri），最终以1-2的成绩为迈凯伦（McLaren）车队获得第二名。两人以近40秒的优势领先梅赛德斯（Mercedes）的乔治·拉塞尔（George Russell），后者最终获得第三名。

维斯塔潘的排名下降至第四。

威廉姆斯车队的亚历克斯·阿尔本（Alex Albon）排在第五，梅赛德斯车队的基米·安东内利（Kimi Antonelli）排在第六，法拉利车队在最后一圈命令刘易斯·汉密尔顿（Lewis Hamilton）让出位置，查尔斯·勒克莱尔（Charles Leclerc）因此排在第七。汉密尔顿排在第八。

小卡洛斯·塞恩斯（Carlos Sainz Jr.）为威廉姆斯车队（Williams）获得第九名，而玉木（Yuki Tsunoda）为红牛车队（Red Bull）获得第十名。

对多汉的疑虑

杰克·杜汉（Jack Doohan）在第一圈就与另一辆车发生碰撞，第二圈时发生事故，这一表现使得人们纷纷议论，这位新秀在阿尔平（Alpine）可能即将被弗朗哥·科拉皮诺（Franco Colapinto）取代。

阿根廷有媒体报道称，科拉皮托（Colapinto）将代替杜汉（Doohan）参加本月晚些时候在意大利举行的F1下一场比赛。阿尔派车队（Alpine）领队奥利弗·奥克斯（Oliver Oakes）在迈阿密周末开始时驳斥了这一说法，他表示“根据当前情况”，澳大利亚车手仍然会在伊莫拉（Imola）参加比赛。

我认为这是阿根廷的赞助商在镜头外对弗朗哥的看法，即他何时会登上赛车。我确信阿根廷有很多人希望他本周日能够登上赛车。我们作为车队已经相当开放地表明，这只是流言蜚语。杰克需要继续做好他的工作。但有流言蜚语是很自然的事情。

今天的情况是，Jack和皮埃尔（加斯利）都是我们的车手，他继续说道。这一点我们非常清楚。我们总是会进行评估，但今天确实如此。

多恩（Doohan）周日未能完成两圈比赛，最终排名垫底，在六个赛季中尚未获得任何积分。他在中国大奖赛上的最佳排名为第13名。
