Miami GP: Lando Norris rues McLaren strategy after losing out to Kimi Antonelli in battle for victory

Reigning world champion Lando Norris finished on the podium for the first time in 2026 at the Miami Grand Prix but was unable to secure victory after McLaren's pit stop strategy backfired. Norris had led by nearly two seconds over Kimi Antonelli before Mercedes pitted their driver first, giving Antonelli fresher tyres and the advantage to overtake Norris after the pit stop phase. The Italian teenager went on to win the race, his third consecutive victory, extending his championship lead.
