Albon drops to P19 after track breach
A late penalty changed the sprint grid, affecting race positions and earlier qualifying outcomes. Alex Albon was pushed down to 19th for the Miami Sprint after officials removed his times due to a track limits violation in the first qualifying phase. The breach at Turn 6 was only flagged after the next session had begun, leading to deletion of both SQ1 and SQ2 laps.
