Charles Leclerc managed to grab pole position during qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix. The Monegasque set a convincing time and was faster than his rival Max Verstappen.
In both Q1 and Q2, Verstappen came up short of Leclerc, while Carlos Sainz was also doing well. His second time in Q3, therefore, came as no surprise. He was, however, slower than his teammate with it.
Striking names among dropouts
In the first two sessions, there were some striking names to be seen. Kevin Magnussen didn't get further than P16, while Alexander Albon also had to drop out after Q1. George Russell and Sebastian Vettel had to settle for eleventh and twelfth place respectively.
