Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, marking a historic achievement in Formula 1. He became the first driver to convert his first three pole positions into race wins in consecutive races.
The race took place at the Miami International Autodrome on May 3, 2026. Lando Norris finished in second place, while Oscar Piastri secured third.
The race started three hours earlier than scheduled due to potential lightning storms. This decision proved crucial as the weather remained clear throughout the event.
Multiple incidents characterized the race, including crashes involving Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly. Notably, Max Verstappen finished fifth after being investigated for a potential pit exit violation.
Key race results:
- Kimi Antonelli – 1st place
- Lando Norris – 2nd place
- Oscar Piastri – 3rd place
- George Russell – 4th place, over 40 seconds behind Antonelli
- Max Verstappen – 5th place
- Charles Leclerc – 6th place, after spinning and hitting the wall
Nico Hulkenberg, Liam Lawson, Pierre Gasly, and Isack Hadjar did not finish the race. The rain teased by forecasts never arrived over the course of the event.
Kimi Antonelli’s achievement of winning three consecutive races is a significant milestone in Formula 1 history. Observers are keen to see how this momentum will affect future races.
