"The guy was completely sleeping, I don't know who that was but...even the mechanics were telling him to stop I think."

Ocon was wheeled back into the garage so that damage to the Frenchman's front wing could be repaired, while Leclerc appeared to get away without major damage. 

Could a penalty be coming Alpine's way?

Alex Albon will start the Miami sprint race after Williams made suspension changes to his car post-qualifying. 

Teammate Logan Sargeant is 18th, with the penalised Sauber of Valtteri Bottas lining up from 19th.
