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.

Vice-presidente da CBF pede ao STF suspensão de acordo que manteve Ednaldo na presidência
Fernando Sarney, um dos vice-presidentes da Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF), pediu nesta quarta-feira para o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) suspender o acordo que viabilizou a permanência de Ednaldo Rodrigues na presidência do órgão. Sarney assinou o documento, mas afirmou que há suspeitas de falsificação de uma das assinaturas. Em fevereiro deste ano, o ministro Gilmar Mendes homologou um acordo firmado entre a CBF, cinco dirigentes da entidade e a Federação Mineira de Futebol (FMF) para reconhecer a validade da eleição de Ednaldo. O objetivo era encerrar uma disputa judicial que chegou a afastar o presidente do cargo — ele retornou posteriormente, por decisão de Gilmar. Entretanto, um laudo apontou que seria falsa a assinatura de Coronel Nunes, ex-presidente da entidade, no acordo. Em nota, a CBF afirmou que “todos os atos relacionados ao acordo mencionado foram conduzidos dentro da […]
