Andrea Kimi Antonelli has had his fourth-placed F1 Miami GP Sprint race finish taken away after rules breach.
Kimi Antonelli had his fourth-placed finish in the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Sprint race revoked due to a rules violation. The 2026 F1 Championship leader started the 19-lap race at the Miami International Autodrome from the front-row next to Lando Norris. Despite facing a race-start issue with his W16, Antonelli lost positions initially but eventually settled for fourth place after battling George Russell. However, Antonelli’s aggressive driving, particularly while pursuing Charles Leclerc, led to multiple track limit breaches. Due to accumulating four infringements, Antonelli received a five-second post-race penalty, dropping him to sixth and promoting Russell and Max Verstappen. Consequently, Antonelli’s lead in the standings has narrowed to just seven points, with Russell closing the gap.
