Max Verstappen hit back from his point-less Sprint to upstage McLaren again in qualifying to head the grid for Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix ahead of Lando Norris.
The world champion, who became a father for the first time earlier this week, reproduced his Q3 heroics from Suzuka and Jeddah to deliver his third pole position of the year just hours after failing to score any points in the short-form Sprint having been penalised when he collided with Kimi Antonelli following a Red Bull pit-stop blunder.
A mistake from Norris on the McLaren driver’s final lap at Turn 17, when his car became unsettled over the kerb, may have cost him at least the 0.065s that Verstappen won pole by.
The Briton, though was still two places ahead of championship-leading team-mate Oscar Piastri, who dropped to fourth on the final laps.
That is because Sprint polesitter Antonelli continued his statement weekend to take third – the Italian teenager finishing just 0.002s shy of Norris in second and 0.067 of Verstappen’s pole.
Antonelli has now outqualified team-mate George Russell in both qualifying formats for the first time, the more experienced Mercedes driver lapping a tenth slower than Antonelli in fifth.
Lewis Hamilton locks up on his final run in Q2 knocking his Ferrari out of qualifying for the Miami GP.
But qualifying represented fresh disappointment for underperforming Ferrari.
Just hours after finishing in the top three for the second successive Sprint this season, Lewis Hamilton’s single-lap woes returned as he qualified 12th in what marked the first Q2 exit of his Ferrari career.
Charles Leclerc made it through to the final stage in Q3 but was only able to manage eighth fastest from there.
It meant Ferrari were not only outqualified by their usual three front-running rivals but Williams too – who took impressive sixth and seventh places with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon respectively.
Esteban Ocon took Haas into the top 10 with the ninth-fastest time, while Yuki Tsunoda was 10th in the second Red Bull – a whopping 0.739s away from Verstappen in the lead car.

Wrexham squad audit: Who should stay and who should go ahead of Championship season?
Wrexham and their Hollywood owners are about to sail into relatively uncharted waters.Not just as a club, with their last match in the second tier having been a little under 43 years ago, but also in terms of personnel, with no less than nine of a 22-man squad registered for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign yet to kick a ball in the Championship.AdvertisementFactor in Arthur Okonkwo and Callum Burton — goalkeepers are exempt under EFL squad rules in Leagues One and Two, as well as under-21s players — having also not played at this level, plus another four of the 22 having less than 50 appearances apiece to their name, and that’s a sizeable chunk of the group who took Wrexham to an unprecedented third straight promotion.Even Phil Parkinson’s managerial experience in the Championship is limited to short […]
Tyler Bindon on Premier League ‘dream’, starting at LAFC, Vietnam War veteran grandfather
Tyler Bindon is completely unfazed.Unfazed by the potential pressure of having two professional athletes as parents. Unfazed by the family moving from New Zealand, the land of his birth, to California when he was 12. Unfazed by immediately establishing himself in the LAFC academy. Unfazed by moving to England aged 17. Unfazed by making his way in English professional football, where he’d never played before, at an age that most of us are just figuring out how to pay a gas bill. Unfazed by the prospect of going from being a trialist at a third-tier club to the Premier League and possibly the Champions League in under two years.AdvertisementUnfazed by… well, what else have you got?

Dva miliony za podpis smlouvy! Bývalý sparťan a viktorián o kariéře i životě po ní
„Nedokázal jsem si život bez fotbalu vůbec představit, byl jsem magor. Ale jakmile jsem s ním definitivně skončil, přestal mě zajímat. Nechybí mi,“ tvrdí 51letý Švejdík. Po kariéře, v níž strávil čtyři sezony v plzeňské Viktorii, vystřídal několik pozic a oborů. Ale ať už v roli majitele samoobsluhy, vedoucího sportovní prodejny, nebo provozovatele pensionu, všude se opíral o vrozené geny obchodníka. Stejně i nyní, kdy pracuje v liberecké pobočce firmy OBB, zaměřující se na prodej stavebních materiálů.Vážně vás fotbal nezajímá? Nekouknete se ani na derby?Mrknu jen někdy na sestřih. Fotbal jde dávno mimo mě. Dřív jsem ho žral, byl pro mě vším. Byl jsem totální fanatik. V době, kdy jsem hrál ligu, jsem chodil pomáhat tuchoměřickému béčku.Prosím?Byl jsem dokonce takový magor, že v sobotu jsem odehrál zápas v lize a v neděli odpoledne jsem odseděl sedmdesát minut na lavičce Tuchoměřic. Báli se mě dát na hřiště dřív, abych tam moc neřádil a soupeř […]
Saiba como funciona segurança do Flamengo a jogadores e ajustes que são estudados após ataque a Rossi
A ideia inicial é que os atletas sigam até o CT Ninho do Urubu, ou até um ponto na Barra da Tijuca, junto do ônibus do clube, que é escoltado por seguranças particulares e pela Polícia Militar. O setor de segurança do Flamengo normalmente desloca funcionários para o desembarque, mas eles não acompanham os jogadores em seus veículos. Isso é feito por seguranças dos próprios atletas. Normalmente, os jogadores possuem funcionários que servem como "faz tudo". E além do apoio na segurança, atuam como motoristas. É o caso de Rossi, que tem um estrangeiro na função. Outros atletas possuem seguranças particulares, alguns deles policiais. O Flamengo disponibiliza segurança institucionais para o presidente Luiz Eduardo Baptista, por exemplo. O diretor José Boto conta com um motorista, apenas. Para distribuir os funcionários entre os atletas, não há efetivo suficiente. Por isso, a […]

Timberwolves capitalize on Steph Curry’s absence to tie the 2nd round series
