Adjusted 2026 F1 Miami Grand Prix Sprint starting grid after bizarre penalty
Lando Norris will start the 2026 F1 Miami Grand Prix Sprint from pole position.
A dominant effort in SQ3 landed the reigning world champion his first pole of the season, beating Kimi Antonelli to P1, with the world championship leader starting on the front-row.
Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc slot in behind, with the third row being Max Verstappen and George Russell, with Lewis Hamilton seventh.
Elsewhere, Aston Martin was required to request permission to race in the Sprint after both cars failed to set a time in SQ1.
Alex Albon ended the session in 14th, but was demoted five spots in strange circumstances after the session.
The FIA found he had breached track limits during SQ1 – but the infringement was missed in real time, meaning he advanced into SQ2. By the time the stewards were notified, he had already taken to the track for the second segment.
