Kimi Antonelli stuns in third straight F1 win at Miami Grand Prix

  • Kimi Antonelli secured his third consecutive victory at the Miami Grand Prix, extending his lead in the world championship standings to 20 points over Mercedes teammate George Russell.
  • The Italian driver, starting from pole, overcame a fierce battle with Lando Norris, ultimately gaining the advantage through a strategic pit-stop that allowed him to undercut Norris.
  • The race, moved forward due to forecast thunderstorms, saw early drama including a first-lap spin by Max Verstappen, who finished fifth, and a safety car period following a crash involving Pierre Gasly.
  • Norris, who won Saturday's sprint race, finished second, expressing disappointment about the pit-stop strategy, while Oscar Piastri completed the podium in third place.
  • Charles Leclerc experienced a late spin, dropping him to sixth, just ahead of Lewis Hamilton in seventh, as George Russell made late gains to finish fourth.
