Kimi Antonelli wins the Miami Grand Prix ahead of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri

Kimi Antonelli extended his lead at the top of the F1 standings after winning the Miami Grand Prix.

The 19-year-old held off the threat of reigning world champion Lando Norris – who had won Saturday’s Sprint – to win his third race in a row.

The Mercedes driver now has a 20-point lead over team-mate George Russell who was the pre-season favourite for the world title.

Russell finished fourth in Miami, one place behind Norris’ McLaren team-mate Oscar Piasri.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen recovered from a first-lap spin to finish fifth.

He was given a five-second penalty after the race for crossing the white line as he exited the pits, but it did not affect his position.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc crossed the line in sixth but was given a 20-second penalty for leaving the track multiple times on the final lap after he hit a wall and damaged his car.

That penalty dropped him to eighth and promoted team-mate Lewis Hamilton from seventh to sixth.

The race was brought forward by three hours in fear of long-threatened rain, but it was Antonelli who reigned supereme.
