Miami Grand Prix: Lando Norris on Pole for Sprint Race Ahead of Kimi Antonelli

Lando Norris claimed sprint qualifying pole in Miami, beating Mercedes championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 0.222 seconds with McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri securing third place.
Following a five-week break since Antonelli won the Japanese Grand Prix, Mercedes found its grip broken at Hard Rock Stadium, as Ferrari and McLaren brought extensive upgrades to close the performance gap.
Oscar Piastri lines up third in the second McLaren ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in fourth, while Max Verstappen qualified fifth and Mercedes driver George Russell finished sixth ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton.
Norris said it was the "Perfect way for me to start the weekend," noting he felt comfortable from the first lap despite trailing Antonelli by 47 points in the championship standings.
Weather concerns loom over Sunday's 57-lap race, with forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms prompting The FIA to consider options including start time changes to comply with Miami state law regarding lightning.
