Antonelli imposes conditions in the Miami GP

Barely 19 years old, Andrea Kimi Antonelli achieved his third victory in Formula 1 and his third consecutive victory in the season, a streak that places him as the driver to beat in 2026.

The young Italian dominated the race from start to finish and crossed the finish ahead of the two McLarens, with Lando Norris in second position and Oscar Piastri in third place.

This is the positions of the Miami GP

Behind the podium, George Russell, also from Mercedes, finished in fourth position, remaining the main chaser of Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the championship.

Dutchman Max Verstappen finished fifth, while Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton crossed the finish line in sixth and seventh place respectively.

For his part, the Argentine Franco Colapinto had an outstanding performance,finishing eighth with Alpine, followed by the Spanish Carlos Sainz, ninth with Williams. The Thai Alex Albon completed the top 10.

Sergio Pérez, Valtteri Bottas and Fernando Alonso, far from the key points

The Mexican Sergio Pérez, now with Cadillac, finished in sixteenth position, just behind the Spanish Fernando Alonso, who finished fifteenth with Aston Martin. His teammate, the Finnish Valtteri Bottas, finished in eighteenth place.

The three still can't find regularity in the 2026 season of Formula 1 and after 4 circuits they still haven't managed to score points for their team.

Antonelli extends his championship lead

With this win in the Miami Grand Prix, Andrea Kimi Antonelli reaches 100 points in the championship, expanding his lead to 20 units over George Russell.
