Kimi Antonelli, who at 18 years old became F1's youngest pole winner in history when he started first in Saturday's sprint race, qualified third for Mercedes. It is the first time he qualified higher than teammate George Russell, who was fifth behind current F1 points leader Oscar Piastri of McLaren.

Kimi Antonelli continued to star this weekend, finishing out the top three with a final flying lap that was 0.067 seconds off Verstappen’s best. The Mercedes driver put together a clean, all-green lap around the track, enough to push him ahead of Oscar Piastri in fourth.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen narrowly beat Lando Norris to pole position for the Miami Grand Prix to take his third pole position of the season.
