Mercedes’ 19-year-old Italian, Kimi Antonelli, overtakes Lando Norris to win the Miami Grand Prix, his third win in a row moving him 20-point commanding championship lead. His team-mate George Russell, finished fourth on Sunday behind McLarens’s Oscar Piastri. Antonelli had a three-car fight including Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc before the race narrowed down to a tussle between the Mercedes and Norris.

“This is just the Beginning. The road is still long. We are working super hard and the team is doing an incredible job,” Antonelli said. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen finished fifth after recovering from a first-lap spin, and was given five-second penalty after the race for crossing the white line as he exited the pits, with affecting his position.

Leclerc finished sixth, was given a 20-second penalty for leaving the track multiple times on the final lap after he hit a wall and damaged his car. The penalty dropped him to eight promoting team-mate Lewis Hamilton from seventh to sixth.
