Mercedes' boss Toto Wolff, speaking to Sky Sports, on George Russell and inter-team battles: "George is so experienced by now. Throughout the weekend we've talked that this is a bit of a bogey track for him and that is absolutely understood. There is nothing that is going to be in the back of our heads when we go to Montreal.

"George is a killer, what makes him so good is that he never stops fighting and attacking. I've seen him throughout his career, in junior formula, karting. He is going for this, he is not going to leave a stone unturned, I have no doubt.

"I think George is going to fight for points throughout the season."

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, speaking to Sky Sports, on race winner Kimi Antonelli: "I hope that he can continue this positive slope. Most important is to not get carried away, we have a good car, hopefully the upgrades work in the next race. But, he is a fierce competitor and his team-mate, who wasn't that happy with the track this weekend. It's just important to keep both feet on the ground."

On how promising Mercedes' form is with only a few upgrades in Miami: "Sometimes upgrades don't correlate with the stopwatch so need to prove that out and I hope that we can. It is going to be a development race this season. How much can you bring? Are you limited by the cost cap? Many things play a role."

On Antonelli's wins this season and leading the race: "Leading when someone is putting pressure from behind, particularly at the beginning of the stint with Norris and then sustaining this pressure and being able to drive away, it is really a great character trait among the many. We are talking about a lot of success in the future."

After the Miami Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri, who finished third, said: "It's not been the most straightforward weekend, qualifying yesterday was a bit messy for both of us, but the pace seemed more encouraging again today.

"I had to make a few overtakes, obviously the end of the race was a pretty late charge, but just very, very tricky around here, especially in these conditions.

"Thanks to the team, clearly we're a step closer in performance once again, it's nice to see. This weekend we showed that if we get track position we can hang on to things well... hopefully in Canada we will take another step forward, so I'm excited for the future."

World champion Lando Norris, who started fourth and finished second: "Mixed bag. We got undercut, no excuses other than that, we should've boxed first.

"Kimi did a god job, hats off to Mercedes and Kimi. They drove a good race. I have to be happy, as a team we have to be happy. I'm gutted to miss out on a win. Here in Miami, I think it was possible. We'll take it on the chin; it's still been a positive weekend altogether.

"Things have improved, some things are still the same, today was still about who could make the least mistakes, who could push in the correct areas.

"If you guys enjoyed it, I'm happy. It was tough, you have to be tactical with how you're using the battery. You can get caught up using the wrong running of things. I did a good job and the team did a good job all weekend. I'm proud of everyone. Progress."

Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes race engineer, Pete Bonnington, speaking to 5 Live: "It is pretty special. It wasn't that easy. McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull have stepped forward. A little bit more challenging - he did throw a couple of curve balls at us. We managed to avoid the track limit one and got an average start. Overcame all that and when he had it under control, he took it away."

On the championship: "Not thinking about that."

On what Antonelli needs to improve: "We need to get on top of the starts, that is our Achilles heel. We'll just focus on the opportunities, not get ahead of ourselves and focus on that."

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who wins in Miami and extends his lead in the championship to 20 points: "The start was not as bad as yesterday, it was a little bit better. I didn't expect Charles to brake that early on, to avoid him I locked up. I was lucky with what happened in Turn Two, I then did a little mistake with the energy management, trying to overtake Charles and then I lost a place to Lando but then the pace was strong.

"I was able to stay close and then the team did a great strategy, we did a massive undercut and then we managed to bring it home, even though it was not easy."

On becoming the first driver to win his first three races from pole position and making history: "This is just the beginning. The road is still long. We are 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."

Whoa, that's a bold statement, Tony. Do you agree?

Tony: Antonelli will be as good, if not better than Verstappen, Schumacher, Hamilton and Senna. In 50 years of watching Formula 1, I've never seen such natural talent.

Kimi Antonelli takes to the podium and soaks up the applause from the crowds inside the Miami circuit. Is it water in his champagne bottle? Probably. He's only a young pup.

The Italian has entered the Formula 1 record books today as the first driver to convert his first three pole positions into race victories.

Antonelli will also arrive in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix in three weeks' time with a 20-point advantage over Mercedes team-mate George Russell in the drivers' championship.

The top three drivers have been ferried to the cooldown room and are now watching the highlights of the race. Oscar Piastri says there was "nothing he could" when he was repassed after making an overtake of his own, while the trio all gasp when they see Charles Leclerc's late drama.

Leclerc is in for a busy night, as he is under investigation for leaving the track multiple times and gaining an advantage, and for also driving in an unsafe condition.

George Russell has been cleared of moving under braking but now he has two investigations to his name for separate incidents (causing a collision) with Leclerc and Max Verstappen.

Race engineer: "Yes Oscar, well done. That is a really well deserved podium, p3."

Oscar Piastri: "Well done everybody."

Behind the top six, Lewis Hamilton had a tough day in the office and finished seventh, Franco Colapinto brings home points home for Alpine in eighth and it's double prizes for Williams, as Carlos Sainz is ninth and Alex Albon ends his Miami Grand Prix in 10th.

Max Verstappen: "Well done. I don't even know. We should've won. Good try, good effort nice to see the progress nice try. We can get back to winning, we can make it easier for ourselves, let's keep pushing."

George Russell climbed to fourth place in the closing stages of that race but the Mercedes driver has been noted by race control for moving under braking at Turn 17 and for causing a collision during his battle with Max Verstappen at Turn One.

Race engineer: "Get in there Kimi! You had to work for that one today mate, but what a good drive."

Kimi Antonelli: "What a race man, woo! Oh my god."

Oscar Piastri overtakes Charles Leclerc down at Turn 17 for the final podium spot and then the Ferrari driver spins! He avoids a total crash out but does damage his left rear tyre. He limps home, just as George Russell passes Max Verstappen for fifth.

And now Leclerc loses a place to Russell.... and then Verstappen! The Ferrari man will end this race in sixth.
