Antonelli Wins Third Straight F1 Miami GP

Kimi Antonelli claimed victory at the chaotic Miami Grand Prix, extending his championship lead and becoming only the third driver in F1 history to win his first three consecutive races.

Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli overcame a poor start to claim his third consecutive Grand Prix victory at the Miami Grand Prix. The race, shortened due to weather concerns, saw Antonelli lose the lead early before recovering with a strategic undercut to hold off Lando Norris. This victory extends his championship lead to 20 points and places him alongside Damon Hill and Mika Hakkinen as the only drivers to win their first three F1 races consecutively.

McLaren celebrated a strong weekend with both Norris and Oscar Piastri finishing on the podium, while several teams including Ferrari, Red Bull's second seat, Audi, and Aston Martin struggled to find solutions. Antonelli expressed growing confidence in his performance, stating 'I think I feel much more comfortable in the car, much more in control as well' after securing his latest milestone in what's becoming a dominant sophomore season. cricket-ipl.co.za
