F1 welcomes the Miami Grand Prix this weekend at a spectacular new circuit that twists around the Hard Rock Stadium.

Charles Leclerc is guaranteed to leave Miami with his F1 championship lead intact and he will start the race at the front of the grid having qualified on pole.

Max Verstappen was utterly dominant at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as he recovered from two retirements from the first three weekends, and he will go off from third, having just lost out to a front row position to Carlos Sainz.

The Dutchman has shrunk Leclerc's title advantage to just 27 points, meaning another perfect score for Verstappen could leave the two separated by a single point should Ferrari suffer an event to forget - but he will have to get past Leclerc to do so.

Mercedes will be hoping for a more positive weekend after Lewis Hamilton endured 'the low' of Imola where he finished 13th and was lapped by Verstappen, and his encouraging sixth-place finish in qualifying gives hope that the team can have a better weekend.

GPFans will provide full coverage from the race including from our correspondent Ian Parkes, who is at the track and Miami and will be offering live updates throughout the weekend.

What is the grid for the Miami Grand Prix?

Ferrari locked out the front row in qualifying on Saturday, with championship leader Charles Leclerc going fastest, before team-mate Carlos Sainz followed him over the line in P2, two tenths behind.

Max Verstappen's excellent lap secured him third alongside team-mate Sergio Perez, while Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes recorded a surprising sixth position, while George Russell could only land in 12th spot.

Elsewhere Esteban Ocon's damaged Alpine meant he could not compete in qualifying, and he will start the race from the back of the grid.

GPFans' F1 MIAMI GP PREDICTION

Verstappen was utterly dominant at Imola in a manner that was reminiscent of Leclerc in Australia and it would take someone brave to bet against these two battling at the front once again.

That being said, as a new circuit, the Miami International Autodrome could create a few surprises, especially given the close proximity of the concrete walls.

Behind the front two, the battle to be 'best of the rest' will make for a fascinating watch with little to split McLaren, Mercedes, Haas, Alfa Romeo and Alpine.

With Leclerc already out in front and with Ferrari's pace superb so far, we tip Leclerc to get over the line and extend his championship lead.

WINNER: Charles Leclerc
