On lap 41, Pierre Gasly seems to have problems with the steering of his AlphaTauri. On the exit of the corner, Gasly and Lando Norris hit each other hard. A safety car is a result.
Gasly got overtaken by several cars and also seems to be overtaken by Norris without any problems, but still the two drivers hit each other hard. The McLaren driver suffers extensive damage, while Gasly ironically manages to continue his way and reach the pit lane for fresh rubber.
The safety car situation does breathe new life into the Miami Grand Prix. The gaps at the front are completely closed and Sergio Perez is driving on mediums thanks to an extra pit stop, while Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz decided to stay out.
