After a quick turnaround from the Sprint, qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix has taken place - with a dramatic session in Florida.
Max Verstappen has become the first driver in 31 years to take pole position at each of the first six rounds of the season, the Red Bull driver set to line up P1 for the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.
Verstappen had the chance to become the first driver in 31 years to take pole at each of the first six races of the season, Alain Prost having been the last to do it for Williams in 1993, but the pacein particular showed in Sprint qualifying meant there was hope for Red Bull’s rivals heading into the session.
It was a disappointing return for Ricciardo in particular, who went from the second row in Sprint qualifying to placing his RB last on the grid once his penalty is applied – adding “I had no rear” on team radio.Q2, as ever, saw the fight to make it through to the top 10 and Norris tested the limits at the Turn 14/15 chicane as he went airborne in his McLaren – briefly getting all four wheels off the ground as he navigated one of the slowest parts of the track.
Fernando Alonso could not get himself into the top 10 in the first time he has missed out on Q3 this season, set to start P15 on Sunday. Team-mate Lance Stroll went quicker in the sister Aston Martin, but improvements elsewhere meant he was also knocked out. Norris placed himself P6 for McLaren after his first run on medium tyres but team-mate Oscar Piastri, running half of McLaren’s substantial upgrade package appearing on Norris’ car, was two places ahead on his first run.
