Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli of Italy celebrates after winning the Miami Formula One Grand Prix auto race, Sunday, May 3, 2026, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Kimi Antonelli has won the Miami Grand Prix for his third consecutive Formula 1 victory as the 19-year-old Mercedes drivers continued to show he’s a legitimate championship contender. Antonelli started from the pole Sunday but had a slick start on a damp surface of the Miami International Autodrome. Threats of heavy rain led F1 to move up the start of the race by three hours, and there was an early morning heavy thunderstorm with lightning strikes directly over the Hard Rock Stadium, but it had cleared by the time the event began.
