Leclerc loses Miami podium after 20-second post-race penalty

TL;DR Summary
Charles Leclerc was handed a 20-second post-race penalty for a last-lap incident at the Miami Grand Prix after spinning into the Turn 3 wall, which forced him to cut chicanes and push the lapped Arvid Lindblad out of the way, and even contact George Russell at the hairpin while fending off Max Verstappen; the FIA stewards ruled he gained a lasting advantage by leaving the track, dropping him from third to eighth behind Hamilton and Colapinto, with no further action taken on a claimed mechanical issue or the Russell contact.
