Wrapping up Miami GP qualifying: Antonellis impressive again

It was an impressive turnaround for Kimi Antonelli to claim a third successive pole and see off Max Verstappen’s resurgent Red Bull. The championship leader had put in a scruffy sprint performance in the weekend’s first race, won by McLaren’s Lando Norris.Verstappen looked a threat from the first laps in Q1, but on the final lap of Q3 he fell short by 0.166 seconds. The Dutchman was nevertheless boosted by Red Bull’s gains with its new aerodynamic pieces and its work to better use its engine systems. Advertisement
