Team by team review of Sunday's Miami Formula One Grand Prix, round six of the 24-race season (listed in current championship order):

RED BULL (Max Verstappen 2, Sergio Perez 4)

Verstappen was beaten, in a race he finished, for the first time since Singapore last September. The triple champion, who started on pole and won Saturday's 100km sprint, stretched his lead over Perez to 33 points. Red Bull said he ended the race with a damaged car, possibly due to hitting a bollard. Perez almost took out Verstappen at the start, when he misjudged the first corner and careered across the track. He moved up to fourth post-race when Sainz collected a five second penalty.

FERRARI (Charles Leclerc 3, Carlos Sainz 5)

Leclerc, who started second on the grid, took his third podium in six races. The Monegasque struggled with rear grip early on, with Sainz itching to get past, and pitted on lap 19 from third, coming back out in seventh before moving back up. Sainz started third and pitted a lap before the safety car and was summoned to stewards after the race for a clash with McLaren's Piastri, dropping from fourth to fifth.

MCLAREN (Lando Norris 1, Oscar Piastri 13)

Norris celebrated his first F1 win in his 110th race, cashing in when the safety car was deployed on lap 28 before he had pitted, giving him a cheap stop. The Briton was able to pit from the lead and stay ahead of Verstappen before pulling away. He is the 114th F1 driver since 1950 to win a race. Piastri set fastest lap but without a bonus point. He dropped to last after pitting for a new front wing following a clash with Sainz. The win was McLaren's first since Monza 2021 and 184th in total.

MERCEDES (Lewis Hamilton 6, George Russell 8)

Russell started seventh on medium tires and Hamilton eighth on hards. Russell dropped to 10th at the start and struggled for pace on the hard tire later on. Both drivers were jumped by Tsunoda who pitted during the safety car period, but Hamilton took the place back and ran Perez close at the end.

ASTON MARTIN (Fernando Alonso 9, Lance Stroll 17)

Alonso pitted for medium tires on lap 23 when the virtual safety car was deployed after Verstappen hit a bollard and left it on the track in a dangerous position. The Spaniard passed Alpine's Ocon for ninth on lap 48. Stroll pitted before the safety car was deployed, compromising his strategy. He was then penalized 10 seconds for leaving the track and gaining an advantage in a battle with Williams' Alex Albon.

RB (Yuki Tsunoda 7, Daniel Ricciardo 15)

Tsunoda did a long first stint and added to RB's haul after Ricciardo finished fourth in Saturday's sprint, the first points of the Australian's season. Ricciardo started last on the grid after qualifying 18th with a three-place penalty from China.

HAAS (Nico Hulkenberg 11, Kevin Magnussen 18)

Magnussen collected two more time penalties totaling 30 seconds, one for entering the pits during a safety car period and not changing tires and the other for causing the collision with Sargeant that triggered the safety car. The Dane was also handed two penalty points, taking his 12-month tally to 10 and leaving him only two from a race ban. Hulkenberg overtook Hamilton on lap two but was passed again on lap 10.

ALPINE (Esteban Ocon 10, Pierre Gasly 12)

Ocon scored Renault-owned Alpine's first point of the campaign, starting from 13th on medium tires and pitting on lap 22 for hards. Gasly started 12th and pitted on lap 12. The Alpine pair went wheel to wheel early on.

WILLIAMS (Alex Albon 19, Logan Sargeant retired)

Sargeant crashed backwards into the barrier after contact with Magnussen, who was trying to overtake, and became the race's only retirement. Albon picked up floor damage as he defended on older tires than rivals had, running off in the closing laps. He was the first to pit on lap 10.

SAUBER (Zhou Guanyu 14, Valtteri Bottas 16)

Still no points for the Swiss-based team, who mixed up their strategies with Bottas switching from softs to hards on lap 11 and then mediums on lap 29. Zhou did one stop on lap 28 with mediums to softs.

Lindsey Vonn had surgery on a fracture of her left leg following the American's heavy fall in the Winter Olympics downhill, the hospital said in a statement given to Italian media on Sunday.

"In the afternoon, (Vonn) underwent orthopedic surgery to stabilize a fracture of the left leg," the Ca' Foncello hospital in Treviso said.

Vonn, 41, was flown to Treviso after she was strapped into a medical stretcher and winched off the sunlit Olimpia delle Tofane piste in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Vonn, whose battle to reach the start line despite the serious injury to her left knee dominated the opening days of the Milano Cortina Olympics, saw her unlikely quest halted in screaming agony on the snow.

Wearing bib number 13 and with a brace on the left knee she ⁠injured in a crash at Crans Montana on January 30, Vonn looked pumped up at the start gate.

She tapped her ski poles before setting off in typically aggressive fashion down one of her favorite pistes on a mountain that has rewarded her in the past.

The 2010 gold medalist, the second most successful female World Cup skier of all time with 84 wins, appeared to clip the fourth gate with her shoulder, losing control and being launched into the air.

She then barreled off the course at high speed before coming to rest in a crumpled heap.

Vonn could be heard screaming on television coverage as fans and teammates gasped in horror before a shocked hush fell on the packed finish area.

She was quickly surrounded by several medics and officials before a yellow Falco 2 ⁠Alpine rescue helicopter arrived and winched her away on an orange stretcher.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has condemned anti-Olympics protesters as "enemies of Italy" after violence on the fringes of a demonstration in Milan on Saturday night and sabotage attacks on the national rail network.

The incidents happened on the first full day of competition in the Winter Games that Milan, Italy's financial capital, is hosting with the Alpine town of Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Meloni praised the thousands of Italians who she said were working to make the Games run smoothly and present a positive face of Italy.

"Then ⁠there are those who are enemies of Italy and Italians, demonstrating 'against the Olympics' and ensuring that these images are broadcast on television screens around the world. After others cut the railway cables to prevent trains from departing," she wrote on Instagram on Sunday.

A group of around 100 protesters ⁠threw firecrackers, smoke bombs and bottles at police after breaking away from the main body of a demonstration in Milan.

An estimated 10,000 people had taken to the city's streets in a protest over housing costs and environmental concerns linked to the Games.

Police used water cannon to restore order and detained six people.

Also on Saturday, authorities said saboteurs had damaged rail infrastructure near the northern Italian city of Bologna, disrupting train journeys.

Police reported three separate ⁠incidents at different locations, which caused delays of up to 2-1/2 hours for high-speed, Intercity and regional services.

No one has claimed responsibility for the damage.

"Once again, solidarity with the police, the city of Milan, and all those who will see their work undermined by these gangs of criminals," added Meloni, who heads a right-wing coalition.

The Italian police have been given new arrest powers after violence last weekend at a protest by the hard-left in the city of Turin, in which more than 100 police officers were injured.

Liverpool's new signing Jeremy Jacquet suffered a "serious" shoulder injury while playing for Rennes in their 3-1 Ligue 1 defeat at RC Lens on Saturday, casting doubt over the defender’s availability ahead of his summer move to Anfield.

Jacquet fell awkwardly in the second half of the ⁠French league match and appeared in agony as he left the pitch.

"For Jeremy, it's his shoulder, and for Abdelhamid (Ait Boudlal, another Rennes player injured in the ⁠same match) it's muscular," Rennes head coach Habib Beye told reporters after the match.

"We'll have time to see, but it's definitely quite serious for both of them."
Liverpool agreed a 60-million-pound ($80-million) deal for Jacquet on Monday, but the 20-year-old defender will stay with ⁠the French club until the end of the season.

Liverpool, provisionally sixth in the Premier League table, will face Manchester City on Sunday with four defenders - Giovanni Leoni, Joe Gomez, Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley - sidelined due to injuries.
