Since its debut in 2022, the Florida metropolis has been a happy hunting ground for Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

The reigning champion has emerged victorious in both races held here so far, and his sights are firmly set on securing a hat-trick come race day tomorrow.

Interestingly though, Verstappen hasn't started from pole position in either of his Miami wins.

In the inaugural race, it was Ferrari's Charles Leclerc who secured the coveted top spot, while Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez enjoyed pole position last season.

Will the Dutchman finally break the mould and claim his first Miami pole today, or will history repeat itself and present another driver with a qualifying advantage?
