Kimi Antonelli has taken victory in an action-packed Miami Grand Prix, the Italian resisting pressure from Lando Norris to seal his third consecutive win of the season. A dramatic start ensued when the race got underway, with polesitter Antonelli facing a three-way scrap alongside Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc before both the Mercedes and Red Bull cars locked up into the first corner. Verstappen then made contact with Leclerc, sending the Dutchman into a 360-degree spin which dropped him down the order. The lead changed hands numerous times from there, with Antonelli later overtaking Leclerc while Norris, Oscar Piastri and Verstappen all enjoyed stints at the front. Separate crashes for Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly, meanwhile, saw the Safety Car deployed in the opening laps. But it would ultimately prove to be a two-horse battle between Antonelli and Norris as the race wore on, the McLaren remaining on the tail of the former during the latter stages. Despite that tension, Antonelli held on to score his third victory of the campaign, making history as the first driver to convert their maiden three pole positions into wins. Norris crossed the line 3.264s back in P2, while Piastri snatched the final spot on the podium from Leclerc during a chaotic final two laps. Leclerc subsequently spun and managed to keep on going, but the Ferrari man was overtaken by Mercedes’ George Russell for fourth while Verstappen – who will be investigated after the race for crossing the line at the pit exit – grabbed fifth from Leclerc at the line. FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2026 Lewis Hamilton claimed seventh in a quieter outing for the sister Ferrari, while Franco Colapinto scored some valuable points for Alpine in eighth. There was also a good return for Williams, with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon completing the top 10. Haas’ Ollie Bearman just missed out in P11, as did Audi’s Gabriel Bortoleto in P12 and the other Haas of Esteban Ocon in P13. Racing Bulls’ Arvid Lindblad followed in 14th, while the Aston Martins of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll were 15th and 17th respectively, the Cadillac duo of Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas sandwiched between in 16th and 18th. Hadjar and Gasly were two of the four retirees following their earlier crashes, with Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson bringing his car into the pits following contact with Gasly while Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg also pitted to retire his car.
