Red Bull’s Max Verstappen grabbed pole position for Miami Grand Prix with a blistering fastest lap of 1:26.204 in qualifying on Saturday.

The Dutchman was 0.065 of a second ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris with 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes again impressing as he powered into third place on the grid.
There was more disappointment for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton in his first season with Ferrari as he was eliminated in Q2 and the Briton will start in 11th place.
Verstappen’s aggressive approach in the first sector of his lap paid off and gives him a chance for a third win in four years at Miami.
"It has been a great qualifying. We improved the car a tiny amount too. QI, Q2, Q3 -- just improving every run, trying to find the limit. It worked out well. I'm very happy to be on pole,” said the Dutchman.
