In a thrilling Miami Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli secured his third consecutive victory, extending his world championship lead to 20 points over Lando Norris. The Mercedes driver, despite starting from pole position, fell to third early on but regained the lead after their only pit stops, fending off a fierce challenge from Norris in a tense finale.

Antonelli's victory marks him as just the third driver in history to achieve three consecutive Grand Prix wins, following the footsteps of legends Damon Hill and Mika Hakkinen.

Race Highlights:

• George Russell, Antonelli's teammate, managed to finish fourth after overtaking Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, increasing the points gap between the two Mercedes drivers from seven to 20.
• Oscar Piastri also showcased strong performance, passing Leclerc on the penultimate lap, securing a double podium for McLaren.
• Verstappen, who started second, encountered an uncharacteristic spin and finished fifth after an early pit stop.
• Leclerc initially led the race but suffered a slow pit stop and later spun into a barrier, allowing Russell and Verstappen to overtake him.
• Lewis Hamilton crossed the line in seventh place, as Ferrari's upgrade package underperformed.

Both Verstappen and Leclerc await the results of post-race investigations regarding potential penalties for their respective incidents. Franco Colapinto finished seventh for Alpine, while Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon scored points, indicating an improved performance from Williams.
