Kimi Antonelli will look to extend his winning streak at the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix by aiming for his fourth consecutive win.
Most recent race
The Mercedes driver won the Miami Grand Prix after a dramatic race in which he had to recover from a poor start.
Antonelli also dealt with a lock-up and an energy management mistake, but he took the lead thanks to a strong undercut strategy, and went on to win the race.
Formula One ambitions
The 19-year-old sits first in the World Drivers' Championship standings with 100 points after four races.
Antonelli leads teammate George Russell (80 points) by 20 points, with Charles Leclerc third on 59 points.
Why Antonelli could shine in Montreal
Antonelli has won three races in a row and shown exceptional race craft and tyre management this season.
Mercedes has been the strongest car so far, and the Italian teenager, who finished third in the 2025 Canadian GP, is the clear favourite heading to Canada.
Quotes
“It was not an easy one because I had a bit of everything," Antonelli said after the 2026 Miami GP.
"The start was still not great, plus I did a mistake, then I was lucky with how things played out despite the mistake.... This is just the beginning. The road is still long.
"But we’re working super hard and the team is doing an incredible job. Without them I wouldn’t be here, so thanks to them and my family. I’m going to enjoy this one then get back to work.”
