Antonelli Leads 20-Point F1 Montreal 2026 Charge After Miami Win
Kimi Antonelli carries a 20-point lead into f1 montreal 2026 after winning his third race in a row in Miami. The next stop is the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, and it arrives as the third sprint weekend of the 2026 season.
Antonelli's Miami Momentum
Antonelli did more than extend a run. His Miami win pushed him to three straight victories and gave him a 20-point cushion at the top of the world championship, a gap that shapes the pressure heading into the Montreal weekend.
Behind him, George Russell had another frustrating weekend in Miami. That matters because Mercedes leaves Florida without the same momentum as the driver leading the championship, while McLaren arrives with a stronger result on the board.
McLaren And Ferrari In Miami
Lando Norris won the sprint race in Miami and finished second in the grand prix, while Oscar Piastri took third. McLaren left with a double podium, and that pairing keeps the team in the conversation as the calendar turns to Montreal.
Ferrari had the roughest afternoon of the group. Charles Leclerc was penalised for last-lap misdemeanours, and Lewis Hamilton was short of pace after a first-lap collision. Those two results left Ferrari carrying more questions than reward from Miami, especially with another sprint weekend next on the schedule.
Montreal On The 2026 Calendar
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal is scheduled for 22-24 May. It is the first of several later 2026 stops listed on the calendar, followed by Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 12-14 June and Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on 17-19 July.
The schedule then moves through Marina Bay Street Circuit on 9-11 October, Circuit of the Americas in Austin on 23-25 October, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City on 30 October-1 November, Interlagos Circuit in Sao Paulo on 6-8 November, Las Vegas Street Circuit on 19-21 November, and Lusail International Circuit on 27-29 November. For now, Montreal is the immediate target, and the championship leader gets there with the pace and points edge after Miami.
