Lando Norris had taken pole in style at the Miami sprint
Lando Norris is under investigation by the FIA for allegedly driving unnecessarily slowly during qualifying, even after securing pole position in the sprint qualifying ahead of the Miami Grand Prix.
Norris shocked many in the F1 paddock by outpacing Mercedes and taking pole for McLaren, showcasing the team’s significant improvement since the last race in Suzuka over a month ago.
The world champion managed to secure pole position over two tenths of a second faster than Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli, with his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri claiming third place.
Despite the investigation, Norris is unlikely to lose his pole position for Saturday’s sprint race, with FIA typically issuing a reprimand for such offenses, which only serves as a warning with no further consequences.
Norris expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and recent upgrades, noting the positive grip on the track and his comfort with the car, as he aims to win his first race since the Brazilian Grand Prix in November during Saturday’s sprint race.
