Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli continues to rewrite Formula 1 history: following his triumph at the Miami Grand Prix, the 19-year-old Italian has achieved a unique milestone. By securing victory on the circuit around the Hard Rock Stadium, Antonelli became the youngest driver in history to win three consecutive races. His successive victories in China, Japan, and now Miami have broken a record previously held by Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel.

With this win, Antonelli has extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to 20 points. The Italian now boasts three wins in the first four races of the season (China, Japan, and Miami), positioning himself as a strong favorite for the 2026 title. His Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 teammate, George Russell, has also secured one win. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team commands a confident lead in the Constructors' Championship, extending their advantage over Scuderia Ferrari to 70 points.

The Miami victory further underscores the effectiveness of the long-standing Mercedes-AMG and PETRONAS partnership. In Florida's hot and humid conditions, the performance of the cooling systems and the reliability of the power unit were key success factors. PETRONAS Syntium motor oils enabled Antonelli's car to maintain peak engine performance even under extreme overheating conditions that forced several rival cars to retire.
