The 2025 Formula 1 season continues with the Miami Grand Prix. World champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull) is on pole position for today’s race, having qualified just ahead of last year’s drivers’ championship runner-up, Lando Norris (McLaren).
Norris has already won this weekend’s sprint, taking the checkered flag after an incident-packed race whose start was delayed by heavy rain, and featured safety cars and some cleverly timed pit stops – particularly from Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton, who finished third.
Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli (who was on pole for the sprint) and Norris’s McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri make up the second row, ahead of George Russell (Mercedes) and Carlos Sainz (Williams). Hamilton could only manage 12th place on the grid, four places behind his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc.
There’s all to play for in the drivers’ championship when the lights go out in Florida, with Piastri leading Norris by nine points, and Verstappen 10 points behind him.
