Oscar Piastri has pulled off a dramatic late overtake to make the podium at the Miami Grand Prix on a day when teenage rocket man Kimi Antonelli made more F1 history with a hat-trick of triumphs from pole.
Piastri, who'd started in seventh on the grid, made a daring move at the end of the penultimate lap to pass Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and seal third place behind his teammate, runner-up Lando Norris.
But there was frustration from world champion Norris that his McLaren team hadn't managed to seal victory at the Miami International Autodrome after a race full of drama and incident, with the threat of rain hanging over proceedings, was completed without any weather interruption.
Ultimately, though, it was the 19-year-old championship leader Antonelli's day again as he overcame a disappointing start to regain control of the race and became the first driver ever to convert his first three poles into victories.
The youngster increased his advantage in the title race to 20 points after four rounds. "It is just the beginning, the road is still long, but we're working super hard," Antonelli enthused.
For the second year running, Kiwi Liam Lawson was unable to finish, suffering terminal damage after a collision with Pierre Gasly and retiring on lap eight.
