History, Chaos, and a Car in the Barrier: Miami Delivers | ep 989

About this episode

The episode covers the highlights and key moments of the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, including Kimi Antonelli's historic win and team performances.

Kimi Antonelli made Formula 1 history at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, becoming the first driver to convert his first three pole positions into wins, and he did it the hard way. We break down the race that had everything: McLaren's upgrade arriving in force, Red Bull's chaotic weekend of promise and self-inflicted disaster, Leclerc's stunning opening lap move followed by a wall in the final two laps, and the story most outlets missed entirely, the FIA president's announcement that F1 returns to V8 engines by 2030. History, chaos, and a car in the barrier.
