Max Verstappen showed all his class in Florida as the Dutchman put his Red Bull top of the Miami GP 2025 Qualifying results, just ahead of Lando Norris in the McLaren with Kimi Antonelli third fastest for Mercedes as the F1 Sprint weekend continues into the main race.
After winning the sprint race earlier on Saturday, Norris looked poised to continue his strong weekend. But Verstappen responded with a blistering lap of 1:26.204 in Q3, making the most of Red Bull’s upgraded floor and dominating the high-speed sectors of the Miami International Autodrome.
Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli, already the sensation of the weekend with a Sprint pole, secured third on the grid for the Grand Prix proper. He edged out Oscar Piastri by just 0.002 seconds, continuing his impressive rise in Formula 1.
