Late change to the Miami Grand Prix results after penalty is applied

Carlos Sainz has picked up a penalty. After Kevin Magnussen, the Spanish driver also receives a time penalty. Sainz received this for an incident with Oscar Piastri. The penalty causes him to lose his fourth place.

Sainz was battling with Piastri towards the end of the race. After the long straight at the end of the lap, the Ferrari driver tried to overtake the McLaren driver, but in doing so he hit the Australian. Piastri had to have his front wing replaced as a result. The rest of his race was spent outside the points.
