It looks set to be a chaotic Miami Grand Prix with heavy rain forecast.
Kimi Antonelli has secured pole position for the third consecutive race, edging out Max Verstappen by 0.166s in qualifying.
This achievement puts the 19-year-old Mercedes driver in rare company with Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher as the only drivers to achieve three consecutive pole positions at the start of their careers.
Due to impending thunderstorms, the race start at the Miami International Autodrome has been moved up by three hours to 1pm local time.
The weather forecast predicts heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds later in the day, emphasizing the need to start the race earlier.
Verstappen starts second, with Leclerc in third and Norris in fourth, while Hamilton is in sixth position and McLaren’s race pace after their Sprint race success remains uncertain.
The unpredictable weather conditions could create an opportunity for drivers lower in the grid who excel in chaotic situations to shine.
