Max Verstappen has been given a time penalty after he was found guilty of a pit exit breach at the Miami International Autodrome on Sunday. Verstappen would have dropped from fifth to sixth in the results, behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, but the Monegasque was also given a 20-second penalty after the chequered flag.

Leclerc was noted for driving his damaged car in an unsafe condition, leaving the track multiple times and gaining an advantage, and clashing with Mercedes rival George Russell at the final hairpin.

Following their investigations, the stewards opted to hand Leclerc a drive-through penalty, which – given that this was handed out after the Grand Prix – has been converted into 20 seconds being added onto his race time, dropping him down the order to eighth place.

As Brundle approached Fallon for a light-hearted exchange, the comedian appeared visibly excited, even starstruck. What followed, however, was far from routine. When prompted for a joke, Fallon playfully—but bizarrely—bit the foam top of Brundle’s microphone and pulled it off mid-interview. The unexpected move left Brundle momentarily stunned before he regained composure, shaking Fallon’s hand and delivering a dry, humorous warning: “Do not take my mic sock again!”



The moment instantly gained traction across social media, reinforcing how Formula 1’s growing cultural crossover is reshaping its global appeal. While traditionalists focus on racing performance, moments like this highlight how F1 has evolved into a broader entertainment spectacle—especially in markets like the United States, where celebrity integration plays a major role in audience engagement.
