Just as in the Sprint, the drivers could be faced with a wet track surface when the lights go out for the Miami Grand Prix. This time it’s Red Bull’s Max Verstappen on pole, with the man who started from P1 on Saturday – Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli – in third.
Between them, alongside Verstappen on the front row, is Sprint winner Lando Norris, who has McLaren team mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri immediately behind in P4. Similarly, Mercedes’ George Russell lines up aft of Antonelli in fifth.
Qualifying saw another strong Williams showing, with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon sixth and seventh respectively. They’re followed by the lead Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, out to make amends for his Sprint snafu when he crashed en route to the grid.
Esteban Ocon starts a superb ninth for his Haas team’s home race, while completing the top 10 is Yuki Tsunoda in the sister Red Bull. And in case you’re wondering about a certain seven-time World Champion, the Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton sits 12th in the starting order.
Just one car will be starting from the pit lane and that’s Pierre Gasly, whose Alpine has been modified under Parc Ferme conditions after the Frenchman originally qualified 18th.
