F1 Qualifying Results: Miami Grand Prix times and grid positions
Qualifying for the F1 Miami Grand Prix will start on Saturday evening, and the results will be available once the polesitter is determined. This event follows a five-week break since the previous races, and anticipation is high after the sprint qualifying session on Friday. The cancellation of the Saudi Arabian and Bahrain Grands Prix in April created a gap in the schedule, with the next race being the Canadian Grand Prix in three weeks. The session begins at 9 pm BST, following an earlier sprint race at 5 pm BST. There were expected regulation changes for qualifying, including a reduction in maximum permitted recharge, but these won’t be implemented in Miami as confirmed by the FIA. Kimi Antonelli and George Russell lead the championship standings heading into the Miami Grand Prix, with their competitors working on updates to challenge them. The full qualifying results will be updated after Saturday’s session, and there have been changes to the qualifying format in 2026, with six cars being eliminated after Q1 and Q2. Additionally, Q3 has been extended by a minute to allow for 13-minute sessions.
