There are many remarkable features to Andrea Kimi Antonelli\u2019s<\/a> breakthrough performance at the start of 2026.<\/p>\n

Yes, he\u2019s become the third driver in Formula 1 history to win his first three grands prix consecutively, matching Mika Hakkinen and Damon Hill. And yes, he\u2019s achieved the unique feat of winning his first three races consecutively from pole position.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the most amazing detail is that he won those three races despite failing to hold onto his advantage from pole position at the start. Indeed, Antonelli has lost places in all six starts this year, including the two sprint races.<\/p>\n

McLaren disrupted Mercedes\u2019 winning ways in the Saturday race but Antonelli reasserted their supremacy in the main event. If he pulls off another victory in Canada in two weeks\u2019 time he will be the first F1 driver ever to win their first four grands prix consecutively.<\/p>\n

The fifth edition of the Miami Grand Prix saw the first victory in the race for Mercedes. With that, they have now won at every track on the 2026 F1 calendar<\/a> apart from the only venue yet to hold a race \u2013 the Madring<\/a>, which will hold the Spanish Grand Prix for the first time in September:<\/p>\n

Lando Norris<\/a>, who scored his first F1 win in Miami two years earlier, finished second for the second year in a row. With a one-two in the sprint race and double podium in the grand prix, McLaren not only scored the most points of any team last weekend, but also more than they had in the previous three rounds combined, leaving them just 16 points behind Ferrari in the fight for second place in the standings.<\/p>\n

\"Franco<\/a>Colapinto scored a career-best seventhWhen the season began, Miami was going to be McLaren\u2019s 1,000th grand prix start. However the cancellation of the two rounds in April, plus the fact neither of their drivers started the Chinese Grand Prix, put those celebrations on hold (though it didn\u2019t stop one publication marking the milestone in the week leading up to the race).<\/p>\n

George Russell<\/a> achieved his 20th consecutive points score. This is his best-ever run. No other driver on the grid is in double-digits at the moment.<\/p>\n

Despite a five-second time penalty, Max Verstappen<\/a> collected his first top-five finish of the season. Charles Leclerc\u2019s final-lap spin ended his run of top-four finishes and his 20-second time penalty dropped him to eighth.<\/p>\n

That meant Franco Colapinto<\/a> scored the best result of his F1 career to date with seventh place behind Lewis Hamilton. The extra two points meant Alpine have beaten their tally of 22 points last year in just the first four rounds of this season. This is their biggest points haul over the first four rounds since 2020, their last season as Renault before they rebranded as Alpine (also before sprint races increased the number of points available at some rounds).<\/p>\n

Alexander Albon<\/a> scored his first point of the year as Williams grabbed their first double top-10 finish.<\/p>\n

\"Alex<\/a>Alex Zanardi, IndyCar champion and Paralympic gold medallist, dies aged 59<\/a>Neither of the two American teams got either of their cars home in the points. Cadillac\u2019s Valtteri Bottas<\/a> came in last as he marked his 250th grand prix start.<\/p>\n

Seven-times grand prix starter Hermano da Silva Ramos passed away on the day after the grand prix, having lived to mark his 100th birthday last December. John Rhodes is now the oldest living ex-F1 driver at the age of 98. He made his sole start in the 1965 British Grand Prix from 21st and last on the grid.<\/p>\n

Antonelli dedicated his latest triumph to another driver who passed away recently. Alessandro Zanardi<\/a>, who like Antonelli was born in Bologna, raced in F1 from 1991 to 1994, and again in 1999. His achievements as a two-times champion in CART IndyCar racing between those appearances were a far better reflection of his talent. His only points score in F1 came at the 1993 Brazilian Grand Prix, with sixth place for Lotus.<\/p>\n
