Kimi Antonelli is on a roll – and a Mercedes decision was central to his win
Kimi Antonelli attributes his historic victory in the Miami Grand Prix to Mercedes’ decision to pit him early and undercut Lando Norris.
Starting from pole position, Antonelli fell behind Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, but regained second place after Verstappen’s spin.
Following a back-and-forth battle with Leclerc and Norris, Antonelli took control by using an undercut strategy on Norris after the early safety car.
This move helped him secure the lead and ultimately claim his third grand prix win, extending his lead in the standings over his teammate George Russell.
Antonelli expressed gratitude to his team for the successful strategy and hard work, emphasizing that this win marks just the beginning of a long road ahead, with Canada Grand Prix looming in three weeks.
