Kimi Antonelli has his third pole in four GPs, but McLaren and Red Bull have clearly used the enforced early-season break to their advantage. Max Verstappen is on the front row, while Lando Norris, who won yesterday's Sprint, lines up alongside Charles Leclerc on the second row. A penny for George Russell's thoughts. Lights-out is set for 6pm BST.

Miami Grand Prix 2026 Schedule

Sunday, 3rd May
6pm – Miami Grand Prix
Miami Grand Prix 2026 Preview
The race is starting three hours earlier than scheduled, due to the threat of lightning storms, a tumult that likely matches Russell's mood.
For much of preseason the Mercedes man had exuded the confidence – some would say arrogance – of a champion-in-waiting. However, right now Russell is being thoroughly eclipsed by his 19-year-old teammate, and the sight of a resurgent Norris, Verstappen and Oscar Piastri in his rearview mirror won't make him any cheerier.
When we left off, Antonelli had just secured back-to-back wins from pole position to become F1's youngest-ever championship leader – and jolt Russell out of his complacency. Having won the season-opener, the Brit had given off the impression that the drivers' title was already in the bag.
There were signs in Japan that Piastri and Norris had narrowed the gap. If McLaren's upgrades work as dramatically as they have in the past, Russell's early-season hubris could backfire very quickly.
