Formula 1 world championship leader Kimi Antonelli has claimed a third successive pole at the Miami Grand Prix, holding off Max Verstappen at the Miami International Autodrome.
Antonelli's first effort in Q3 was enough to keep his rivals at arm's length, with Verstappen's final effort yielding him second ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
The session got underway at 4pm local Miami time in sweltering conditions, with ambient temperatures of 34C and track temperatures well into the 50s. Verstappen led the early running in Q1 ahead of Antonelli, Norris and the two Ferraris, before Antonelli took command with a 1m28.653s lap.
At the bottom of the order, the usual suspects Aston Martin and Cadillac soon proved out of touch with the rest of F1's midfield. There was also trouble for Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto, who after a delayed start ran into fiery power unit issues, leaving him stranded on the side of the road. It was the second issue in as many sessions after team-mate Nico Hulkenberg didn't make the start of Saturday's sprint race.
With six elimination spots in Q1, that meant just one other runner would be dumped out, with Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad occupying 17th after the first salvo of runs. Lindblad would stay there, which ended up giving McLaren's Oscar Piastri a reprieve. Donning used tyres for his final run, Piastri suffered from a poor first sector that meant he was unable to improve, leaving him on the bubble in 16th.
