Kimi Antonelli extended his lead in the F1 drivers' championship with a superb, but hard-fought victory at the Miami Grand Prix.

The Italian's advantage over George Russell had been trimmed to seven points after the sprint at the Miami International Autodrome, but his superior form in Florida held strong as he became the first driver to hit the 100-point mark this season.

The Mercedes team-mates are now separated by 20 points, four rounds into the 22-weekend schedule, with Charles Leclerc limping home in sixth after a chaotic lap, which saw him drop down from third.

Despite McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finishing second and third in the Sunshine State, Russell finishing fourth further extended his team's advantage over the reigning constructors' champions, with Ferrari remaining between the pair.

Franco Colapinto took an impressive eighth position to add four more points to his and Alpine's haul for the campaign, with Team Enstone now just one point shy of its 2025 total.

Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon secured much-needed points for Williams, bringing their FW48s home in ninth and tenth after the 57-lap contest.

Update: Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc recieved five- and 20-second time penalties post-race. However, only the latter's is of consequence, with the Ferrari driver dropping from sixth to eighth, costing him four points in the standings.

Lewis Hamilton and Franco Colapinto were promoted to sixth and seventh, respectively, with each gaining an additional two points for the season. It also means that Alpine has now surpassed its 2025 total by one point, 23 to 22.
