The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, has praised the victory by his driver Kimi Antonelli at the Miami Grand Prix as his best yet and said that the 19-year-old’s astounding start to the season has put him in the same category as the Italian superstar tennis player and Wimbledon champion, Jannik Sinner.
Antonelli won in Florida after a tight battle with the McLaren of Lando Norris who chased him to the flag but could not get past. The victory is his third in a row and ensures the Italian now leads the world championship from his Mercedes teammate, George Russell, by 20 points, in only his second season in F1.
