Max Verstappen was handed a 10-second penalty for a pit lane collision with Miami Sprint polesitter Kimi Antonelli, leaving both outside the points after a delayed wet-dry affair.
Mercedes rookie Antonelli started on pole for the 18-lap race which started behind the Safety Car and was red-flagged for a period due to the treacherous conditions.
After a lengthy delay, the race eventually got underway with a standing start as Antonelli lost out to front row starter Oscar Piastri at Turn 1 and dropped to fourth behind eventual race winner Lando Norris and Verstappen.
With the track drying and drivers' intermediate tyres wearing out, all drivers pitted for slick tyres. But, as Verstappen rejoined from his Red Bull pit box, he was sent into the path of Antonelli, who was attempting to make his own stop in the next box.
Verstappen suffered front wing damage while Antonelli was forced to carry on through the pits and come in again a lap later. The Red Bull driver finished fourth on-the-road behind the two McLarens and Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari, but was demoted to 17th with the penalty after a late Safety Car bunched up the pack, with Antonelli classified 10th.
