    History, Chaos, and a Car in the Barrier: Miami Delivers | ep 989
    May 4 2026
    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. Miami delivered.Chapters:
