Antonelli Dominates Miami Grand Prix
Kimi Antonelli has achieved his first three Grand Prix victories in consecutive races, all secured from pole position.
Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli maintained his lead against McLaren's Lando Norris throughout a competitive Miami Grand Prix, securing a decisive win and extending his championship lead.
The 19-year-old Italian's third consecutive victory places him 20 points ahead of his teammate George Russell, who finished in fourth place.
Antonelli triumphed in an intense race that initially featured a three-car contest including Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, before narrowing down to a direct battle between Antonelli and Norris.
The anticipated rain, which had prompted the race start to be moved forward by three hours, largely did not occur except for a few mid-race spots, allowing the Grand Prix to run its full distance under dry conditions.
Antonelli's continued success, winning three of the first four races, has overshadowed pre-season favourite George Russell.
McLaren showed signs of revival following upgrades implemented this weekend, complemented by a strong performance from Lando Norris.
Max Verstappen experienced a challenging race marked by a rare error, a subsequent recovery, and aggressive racing on the edge.
Early in the race, Max Verstappen lost control of his Red Bull as Charles Leclerc led the field through the first two corners.
