Kimi Antonelli resists Lando Norris for historic win amid Miami F1 chaos

Andrea Kimi Antonelli secured his third straight victory in the chaotic Miami Grand Prix, solidifying his early lead in the Formula 1 championship race.

Despite a slow start, the 19-year-old Italian fended off pressure from Lando Norris to clinch the win in his McLaren.

Antonelli’s pivotal move during the pit stops allowed him to maintain the lead despite issues with his throttle and gears.

His achievement of converting three consecutive pole positions into wins makes him the first driver in F1 history to do so.

The race, rescheduled due to potential thunderstorms, saw incidents like Verstappen’s spin, a flip for Gasly, and Leclerc’s recovery from a spin.

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri claimed the final podium spot, while Russell battled through damage to finish fourth, narrowing the gap to championship leader Antonelli.

Verstappen faces a post-race investigation for a potential pit exit infringement, with Hamilton finishing a lonely race in seventh after early damage.
