He has three successive wins and is in control of the championship – but is Kimi Antonelli now the favourite to win the 2026 title?
After Kimi Antonelli’s impressive performance at the Miami Grand Prix, he secured his place in F1 history by winning his third straight race from pole position, a feat never achieved before.
Not only is Antonelli the first driver to accomplish this, but he also joins a select group of drivers who took their first three pole positions and wins consecutively, such as Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill, and Mika Hakkinen.
With a significant 20-point lead in the drivers’ standings after the fourth race, Antonelli is demonstrating early dominance in the 2026 F1 season, especially with George Russell trailing behind in fourth place.
While Antonelli’s achievements are remarkable, the question remains whether he can maintain this level of success throughout the season and secure the championship title.
