Radio Rewind | 2026 Miami Grand Prix

Let me work, you know, relax. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he's racing the midfield. Oh my gosh. We go racing in five lights time. The Miami Grand Prix is underway. Antonelli goes wide. Spin! It's a spin for Max Verstappen! Can the pack avoid him? Ah f***, sorry guys. No worries. So Norris car behind at point six. Leclerc 1.8 ahead. My braking is fine. Copy. I think I have front wing damage. Yeah, copy. We see that. The Williams really cut in there in turn one. Hamilton and Colopinto making contact into turn 11. Yeah, I got damage. I've definitely lost something to the car. I'm pretty sure left side. We see damaged side pod and floor. Nothing we can do. I don't know what Max Verstappen is doing there, bro. Mode six. Hamilton gets past Colopinto. Car behind you, Alex, point five. And Max will be mode six, exit 17. What the f***, Max? Here, go race, go race, head down. We'll report. He pushed me off. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he's racing the midfield. Liam, we need to give the position back to Max. We need to give the position back to Max. 1.3 behind. Do it as soon as possible. Drive into the side of me. I don't understand. I'll go behind him. Gafford doesn't have overtake. If he's going to win this Grand Prix today, he needs moves like that and he moves up to fourth. Russell now, the car behind. Make out point six ahead, point nine behind. Looking to be late on the brakes. Kimi Antonelli gets to the inside. Where's our Ferrari gone? We're to the apex first. Kimi Antonelli takes the lead. It's just only using the boost to cover. Gafford point five, Strat mode six recommended for defending. Pass and re-pass for the lead of the Grand Prix. The Ferrari man back out front. Charles Leclerc, P1 in Miami. Oh, into the wall and out of the race. Yeah, safety car, safety car. My car is on the wall. You okay, mate? Isaac, are you okay? Yeah. And here comes Norris and he takes second position. I lost the transmission. Stay out, stay out. Oh my gosh. Okay, mate, you okay? Yeah. Okay, I haven't got visuals on you at the moment. Are you out? Yeah, I'm upside down, yeah. Okay, mate. So just keep calm. Car's safe. Car's will be with you in a second, all right? And safety car deployed, safety car deployed. How are the tyres? Yeah, I feel okay, to be honest, mate. As soon as I braked, I got neutral at anti-stall. Copy, we're checking. It's gone again, bro. Oh, it's gone. It's gone. Okay, you are safe to jump out just at P0, please. P0 for a jump out, please. Any information would be great. We're trying, Liam. We're trying. It's destroying something. I can hear it. It's really bad in the gearbox. Box and pick up there, please, Max. Box, pick up there. Strat 12 in pit lane. And it's only Max Verstappen that has chosen to come in and take a set of tyres. He's known in 16th. Back to full speed racing. The green flag flies once again. It's Leclerc, then it's Norris. And to the inside is George Russell staying ahead for the moment. Piastri, does he have the room? Piastri carves on by. And he reacted quickest to the restart. I'm in the wrong sat mode, guys. Keep an eye out. Car behind Verstappen. Oh, man. I can tell us that he's stopped it properly. Fred has just closed the door. Mode 7. I'm just looking at your B-Val offset. It's nearly time for another race leader. And his name is Lando Norris. McLaren versus Ferrari versus Mercedes. And now it's Norris's turn to head the field. OK, so car ahead. OK. Kimi Antonelli trying to make a move on Charles Leclerc once again. This time for second place. Charles Leclerc hustling, trying to find a way back through. Looking to make that immediate pass. Silver Arrow versus Scala Ferrari. And Charles Leclerc is back up to second. Wait, I don't like this. Yeah, copy, Kimi. I will look at options. Antonelli diving to the inside at turn 11. Slightly wide. Is there a chance for Leclerc to go around the outside at 12? It gets single file very quickly. Gap to 1.5 ahead. Antonelli looks like he's broken free of Leclerc. So he could become a threat. He's 1.5. There's a late lunge if you're Max Verstappen. I think he cleared Oliver Behrmann into the braking zone of turn 17. He did. And he moves up to 10th position. Kimi recommends Strat mode 6. That'll be a little bit more balanced around the lap. Gap 2.1 ahead. 1.1 behind. Now? You can do it whenever. Oh, from miles back. Max Verstappen. Wait, he's squeezed in. Vollard, what the ****? That's not allowed. There's the move to turn one. And Verstappen just carving his way through. And that continues. If I would have looked at it, it would have pressed me to Vollard. Yeah, copy that, Max. Thank you. Switch position red. Max Verstappen getting another place. He's up to 8th past Carlos Sainz. Okay, mate. I will race with this guy. Okay, mate. Good job there. Do a radio check for another radio check. Yeah, okay, mate. But I'm planning my overtaking. You are overstressed and you want to change settings every lap. Let me work, you know. Relax. Copy, mate. Copy. Carlo Pinto opens the door. Into the pits and changing tyres. George Russell. Reset dip high speed. And this is outlap critical. And box, Charles, box. Okay. Outlap critical. We'll be close with... And that slow stop has cost Charles Leclerc. Why did we stop? When is the rain? Next time you take the desert, please stick with me. I'm here as well. A couple of spits of rain. Yeah, quite a few spits of rain here. It wasn't that bad. So, Lando, we think it's just going to pass at that end of the circuit. Keep feeding back about track conditions. Box opposite, Norris. And he's going to the inside. Max Verstappen. And he makes the move to increase his position to fourth. This will be outlap critical. Reset beep out. Watch the white line on exit. So that means Verstappen is your net race leader, guys. 30 laps to go. Verstappen will be the net race leader. Where Norris will pit, then Piastri will pit. Big stop for McLaren. A great opening stint of the Grand Prix for Lando Norris. So Norris a bit late now. Pantella is just over the start-finish line. Antonelli versus Norris. This could be big. It's huge for Kimi Antonelli. And he gets past Lando Norris on the exit of the corner. And you still have overtake mode. Norris doesn't. Piastri a bit late. You have two holes more front way. So you get a point four ahead and behind. He's got it. Kimi Antonelli takes the lead. Max Verstappen loses one place. Hangs on to second for the moment. And the rest just struts it, struts it. Pass and re-pass once again. But it's Norris with the grip. Norris with the place. And it's Antonelli versus Norris for the win. Here's the Ferrari going through. Charles Leclerc gets back past George Russell. All right. Gearbox. I am driving with the car down. Copy, Kimi. We're looking. Gap at 1.2. Okay, Kimi. Prepare the exit to better turn one. So pull back entry. Focus on exit. He gets overtake mode. He has more power. He can recharge more. And as we go to the hairpin at 17. Piastri is back in front. My rears are gone, man. Like they're dropping quite a bit. Again, it's just temper. Kimi, just temp. So that's track limits at turn five and one at turn 11. So let's not get cool again. How many do I have? Two. And you have overtake? No, no. And Verstappen's going to be as late as possible on the brakes. The Ferrari driver gets through. Mate, these downshifts, they don't work. Okay, Kimi. Yeah, we're just keeping an eye on this downshift problem. But if you just pull back the entry of turn one, you're attacking too much. It's causing us a lot of locking problems. And I don't think Max has got anything left to fight. And there's George in the background. So that's the gap that the other Mercedes has got to make up. Franco, 34.2. Alex, 34.4. Speak a bit louder. Six laps to go. Yeah, radio's starting to go quiet now. Alex, 34.4. I think Fernando with him. Copy that. We saw that. And he still hangs on to it on those old hard tyres. Show some points. No, it's gone off. Front right end plate looks loose. I think he hit my tyre. This is one of the final chances that Piaggio will get. This and one more lap. Russell versus Verstappen as they go to the hairpin at turn 17. He did have a great kick. Copy. We'll take a look. And final lap. Oh, Charles Leclerc spins at the end. So Leclerc ahead has had a spin. So he may be struggling. We've got early boost. Press exit 16. Exit 17. And it's three Grand Prix victories in a row for Kimi Antonelli. Kimi Antonelli wins the Miami Grand Prix. Press and hold boost. Early. George Russell takes fourth place with a damaged front wing. Can the Ferrari get there or will it be Verstappen? Verstappen takes fifth on the line. Get in there, Kimi. Had to work for that one today, mate. But what a great drive. Yes! Man, what a race. What a race, man. Oh my God. Sick. How did we not win this? We should have won, guys. Good try. Good effort. Nice to see the progress. Yeah, well done. Let's keep pushing, guys. We can get back to winning. We can make it easier for ourselves. Well done. Really well done all weekend, mate. You've driven superbly. I'm not sure. You've been on it, mate, from P1. Been really hooked up. Been really impressed. Let's do that. The breakthrough win. The breakthrough poles. And then suddenly it becomes also routine. But there's nothing routine about being 19 years of age and winning three Grand Prix in a row to open your account in Formula 1.
