Kimi Antonelli was victorious in a race that saw the lead change hands multiple times, the Mercedes driver narrowly beating Lando Norris to the chequered flag in Miami while Oscar Piastri secured a hard-fought P3.
After starting on pole position, Antonelli was displaced by Ferrari racer Charles Leclerc as he locked up and went wide at the first corner, shortly before Max Verstappen neatly spun and tumbled down the order.
Leclerc had to defend fiercely against Antonelli before the Safety Car bunched up the field while Pierre Gasly’s Alpine and Isack Hadjar’s Red Bull were recovered – the former was flipped upside down following contact with Liam Lawson, while Hadjar separately hit the wall with suspension damage.
Following a round of pit stops, Antonelli battled his way past Norris and Verstappen to reclaim the lead, which he held onto despite reporting issues with downshifting, as well as enduring immense pressure from the lead McLaren.
Late drama unfolded further back as Piastri passed Leclerc for the final podium position and the Monegasque spun off and bumped the wall, causing him to lose places to George Russell and Verstappen on the last of the 57 laps.
Lewis Hamilton crossed the line in seventh, comfortably ahead of an impressive drive by Franco Colapinto, while Williams secured their first double points finish with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon.
