Italian teenage prodigy Kimi Antonelli won the Miami Grand Prix for Mercedes on Sunday and wrote his name in the Formula One record books with his third victory in a row from pole position.
The youngest driver ever to lead the championship, at 19 years old, also became the first to take his first three career wins from the top slot on the grid and also the first in five editions of the race to win in Miami from the front row.
