F1 Sprint Qualifying Results: McLaren STUNNED at Miami Grand Prix as Mercedes phenom secures stunning pole

McLaren stars Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were beaten in Miami Grand Prix sprint qualifying on Friday as Mercedes phenom Kimi Antonelli secured a stunning pole.

The 18-year-old set a lap time of 1:26.482 around the Miami International Autodrome, beating Piastri and Norris by 0.045 and 0.100 seconds, respectively.

Antonelli's Mercedes team-mate George Russell went out early in SQ3 to set his hot-lap, but the plan backfired, with the Brit usurped by his rivals and now set to start Saturday's sprint in P5.

Elsewhere, reigning world champion Max Verstappen will start tomorrow's sprint in P4, whilst Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton qualified P6 and P7.

Alex Albon, Isack Hadjar and Fernando Alonso rounded out the top 10.

How does F1 Sprint Qualifying work?

The sprint qualifying session is split into three finite windows, which provide a dramatic prelude to Saturday's short race.

The bottom five drivers are eliminated at the end of SQ1, with a further five eliminated after SQ2.

Then, SQ3 gives us a shootout between the remaining 10 drivers in the battle for positions at the front of the grid.
