Summary
Kimi Antonelli, the 19-year-old Mercedes sensation, just etched his name deeper into Formula 1 history with a stunning third straight Grand Prix win at the 2026 Miami International Autodrome on Sunday, May 3. Formula1.com captured the moment he crossed the chequered flag first, holding off reigning champ Lando Norris after bold passes on Norris and Max Verstappen on laps 28 and 29, extending his championship lead to 20 points over teammate George Russell. ABC7NY confirmed the Italian prodigy’s triumph in Miami Gardens, Florida, a race bumped three hours early for a ghost thunderstorm that never hit.
The weekend wasn’t flawless—ESPN detailed Antonelli’s shaky start, slipping back yet battling back with ice-cool precision, crediting his composure for the victory despite an energy management slip. In the Sprint Race, drama flared: a wheel-to-wheel clash with Charles Leclerc sparked heated team radio from the Ferrari driver, who called it “a bit too harsh” per PlanetF1 and quickly apologized post-session, as ScuderiaFans reported, deftly averting a social media firestorm. That penalty for a track limits breach dropped him from fourth to sixth, costing points—Jenson Button slammed it a “silly mistake” on Motorsport.com.
Post-race, Antonelli shone in the top-three presser alongside Norris and Oscar Piastri, per Formula1’s live coverage, humbly noting he didn’t expect this dominance so early in his second F1 season. RacingNews365 quoted him brushing off McLaren’s threat as “expected” after Norris nabbed Sprint pole. Off-track buzz? A YouTube clip shows him chilling podium-side with Verstappen and soccer icon Leo Messi, fueling fan frenzy.
This Miami masterclass puts Antonelli in elite company—three straight poles and wins, echoing Senna, Schumacher, Hill, and Hakkinen, as ESPN’s Nate Saunders marveled, signaling a superstar ascent that’s pressuring Russell ahead of Canada. No fresh social media mentions surfaced, but his star power soars.
