Kimi Antonelli has started the 2026 Formula 1 season with an impressive three wins out of four races, securing victories at the Chinese Grand Prix (March 15), Japanese Grand Prix (March 29), and Miami Grand Prix (May 3). The consistency is staggering, especially considering his pole position in China and victory despite facing penalties in Miami. Antonelli's early form not only sets a high bar for the rest of the season but also marks him as a serious contender for the championship title. Why it matters: This level of dominance this early could signal a potential dynasty or at least a strong challenge to established champions like Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.
