Lando Norris ‘gutted’ after crucial ‘no excuse’ error denies McLaren F1 Miami GP victory

Lando Norris finished second to Mercedes' Andrea Kimi Antonelli at the 2026 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix after a McLaren strategy error cost him victory. Norris had led the 57-lap race in its opening phase, but McLaren pitted him a lap later than Mercedes, allowing Antonelli to undercut him and reclaim the lead on warmer tyres. The reigning World Champion, who had won the Sprint race earlier in the weekend, admitted there was 'no excuse' for the pit stop blunder and said he was 'gutted' to miss out on the win.
