After an already dramatic weekend with a sprint race full of penalties, and an action-packed qualifying session, the 2024 grid lineup for the Miami Grand Prix has taken shape.

Max Verstappen managed to claim his seventh pole position in a row on Saturday, having already claimed sprint race victory earlier on the same day, and will lead the pack away at the Miami International Autodrome.

Charles Leclerc put in another strong qualifying performance, and will line up on the front row alongside championship leader Verstappen, while team-mate Carlos Sainz snatched third.

It means that the two Ferraris separate the dominant Red Bulls, with Sergio Perez left with a lot to do if he's going to win his first race since the 2023 Azerbaijan GP, starting down in fourth.

The Australian was penalised for breaking safety car rules in China, but his three-place grid penalty will be served in Miami instead as the honey badger crashed out of the Chinese GP before he could serve his penalty.
