MIAMI (Agencies): Formula One leader Kimi Antonelli celebrated his third successive win for Mercedes on Sunday and ended a Miami Grand Prix jinx by becoming the first driver to win the race ⁠from the front row. McLaren’s reigning world champion Lando Norris, winner of the Saturday sprint, finished a close second to the 19-year-old Italian prodigy with Australian teammate Oscar Piastri completing the podium. Antonelli, who ⁠increased his championship lead to 20 points after four rounds, had also started on pole for the ⁠third race in a row. The race around the Hard Rock Stadium was ⁠brought forward by three hours after forecasts predicted lightning ⁠and thunderstorms and was completed without any weather interruption.
