For the seventh straight race in Formula One, Max Verstappen will start from the front of the grid.
The Red Bull driver and world championship leader claimed pole position at qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday with yet another impressive performance at the first American event of the season. Verstappen beat out the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, who finished second and third respectively.
Throughout the afternoon session under the South Florida sun, Verstappen expressed his concern with the grip of the soft tires that most of the field was using. He ultimately wasn't able to improve upon his first flying lap of the third qualifying period (1:27.241), but the time was enough for him to land on pole for the sixth time in six races in 2024.
