MIAMI, May 3 – Italian racing sensation Kimi Antonelli made Formula One history Sunday, capturing his third consecutive victory at the Miami Grand Prix and becoming the first driver ever to win the race while starting from the front row.
The 19-year-old Mercedes driver extended his championship advantage to 20 points through four races this season, having also secured pole position for his third straight race. McLaren’s defending world champion Lando Norris, who had won Saturday’s sprint race, crossed the finish line in second place, while his Australian McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri rounded out the top three.
Race organizers moved the start time up by three hours due to weather forecasts calling for thunderstorms and lightning in the Miami area. Despite the predictions, the race at Hard Rock Stadium proceeded without any weather-related delays or interruptions.
