Max Verstappen won the Miami Grand Prix from ninth on the starting grid, with the fastest lap, on Sunday to extend his Formula One championship lead over Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez.
Red Bull's fourth one-two finish in five races dealt a blow to Mexican Perez's hopes of wresting the overall lead from the double world champion in Miami after securing pole position on Saturday.
That guess proved wildly wrong as Verstappen blitzed past Alonso's Aston Martin on the 15th lap to once again leave the fight for top spot on the podium between the two Red Bulls. From there it was business as usual, with the two Red Bulls easing through the final laps unchallenged for another one-two result.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz was fifth, between the two Britons, while Leclerc was seventh in the other Ferrari.
