Charles Leclerc had a strong performance in the intense Miami Sprint race. At the conclusion of the race, the top three finishers were announced and awarded their prizes. Zinedine Zidane, a renowned footballer, was present to present the awards. However, there was a comical moment when Zidane almost mistakenly handed the second-place trophy to Sergio Perez instead of Charles Leclerc. Thankfully, Zidane quickly corrected his mistake and gave the trophy to the rightful recipient. Prior to the race, it was unexpected for Leclerc to achieve such a result, especially considering the incident he had in the pitlane before the Sprint. Fortunately, there was no significant damage to Leclerc’s car, allowing him to secure a solid second-place finish. Another driver, Ocon, received a ten-second penalty during the race, which he served accordingly.
