Lando Norris’ hopes for pole position at the Miami Grand Prix were dashed due to an early mistake on his SQ3 lap, which he described as a “big spiral.” Despite running a major car upgrade this weekend, Norris ended up ninth on the grid after struggling in the final qualifying session. His McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, secured sixth place and expressed surprise at the challenges faced in SQ3. Piastri remains optimistic about tire degradation in the sprint race despite the high temperatures in Miami, anticipating an action-packed event on Saturday. Overall, both drivers are looking forward to bouncing back and performing their best in the upcoming race.
