Hulkenberg

He lacked pace in his final run and joins Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, Yuki Tsunoda and Nico Hulkenberg in being knocked out.

Oscar Piastri has been feeling sick all weekend but will be smiling behind his visor as he joins his McLaren team-mate in passing Nico Hulkenberg who has barely got anything left in his dying tyres.

Sergio Pérez finished ninth on the grid after breaking a streak of five races without a Q3 appearance, with Nico Hulkenberg completing the top 10 after he pulled Haas back into the top 10 in a penalty shootout.

The McLaren of Lando Norris is second, while Nico Hulkenberg is fourth in his Haas.

Two late retirements as Hulkenberg and Tsunoda pull off the track and leave the race.

Another two points for Nico Hulkenberg takes him to 37 points for the season.

Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg was seventh, with Aston Martin's Lance Stroll, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Red Bull's Sergio Perez completing the top 10.

Hulkenberg has dropped back from the top 10 to way down in 17th.

Kevin Magnussen was seventh for Haas, the team’s best qualifying result in Mexico, ahead of Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, Williams’ Alex Albon and Nico Hulkenberg in the second Haas.

Lewis Hamilton's tyres are just five laps old and he's closing the gap on Nico Hulkenberg, whose rubber is wearing away.

MIAMI : Kevin Magnussen said he had to resort to 'stupid tactics' as he collected three time penalties in helping Haas team mate Nico Hulkenberg score precious points in Saturday's Miami Formula One sprint race.

Grosjean has to get his elbows out to keep Hulkenberg behind but he succeeds.

Hamilton gets a bit held up by lapping Hulkenberg, though.
