Kimi Antonelli secured pole position and holds the drivers' championship lead for the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix on May 3, 2026, with Max Verstappen joining him on the front row. The race start was moved forward three hours from its original 6am AEST slot due to forecasted torrential rain, while McLaren achieved a one-two finish in the preceding sprint race led by Lando Norris from pole. Oscar Piastri starts seventh after finishing second in the sprint, and Isack Hadjar, Max Verstappen's Red Bull teammate, was disqualified from qualifying and will start from the back of the grid.
