Kimi Antonelli won the Miami Grand Prix, solidifying his position as the youngest championship leader in Formula 1 history. The Italian Mercedes driver triumphed on Sunday ahead of world champion Lando Norris, securing his third consecutive victory of the season.
With this performance, the Silver Arrow driver impressively marks his ambitions for the world championship title. After early start problems, Antonelli delivered a dominant performance, threatened only by Norris’ pace in the resurgent McLaren. As Interwetten expert Christian Klien emphasized before the race: “The teams will come closer together, but I think Mercedes remains the team to beat.”
In the overall standings, the 19-year-old now leads by 20 points ahead of his teammate George Russell, who suffered another setback as a fourth-place finisher. Oscar Piastri completed the podium in the second McLaren, finishing third.
The feared weather chaos failed to materialize. Despite gearbox problems in the final phase, Antonelli kept his composure and crossed the finish line just ahead of Norris.
