F1 2025: Miami Grand Prix Sprint race starting grid as Red Bull star hit with penalty

The starting grid for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix sprint race is set, and it's Mercedes star Kimi Antonelli who will start out front.

The 18-year-old Italian, who is in his rookie year in Formula 1, produced a stunning lap at the Miami International Autodrome to earn the first pole position of his career in qualifying on Friday, just edging the likes of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in the papaya McLarens.

Elsewhere, Max Verstappen is set to start in fourth spot after not quite being able to match the pace of the front-runners despite an upgraded floor being used on his car this weekend, whilst his team-mate Yuki Tsunoda had a disappointing session and is set to start 18th.

Elsewhere, the Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will start from P6 and P7, respectively, whilst Alex Albon, Isack Hadjar and Fernando Alonso round out the top 10.

With that said, let's take a look at the full starting grid for Saturday's sprint.
