Oscar Piastri has issued a warning to Kimi Antonelli after the Italian snatched away Miami Grand Prix Sprint pole.
The Mercedes driver has become the youngest-ever driver to qualify on pole for an F1 race in any format, although Sebastian Vettel retains the record for youngest grand prix pole-sitter.
Antonelli, who shattered Vettel's outright youngest record by over two-and-a-half years, out-qualified Oscar Piastri by 0.045s and Lando Norris by 0.100s with team-mate George Russell in fifth.
After the session, Piastri was determined to make up the space and win the sprint - thus further extending his championship lead over Norris, which is currently 10 points.
"I'm reasonably happy, I mean it wasn't the best lap ever," Piastri explained.
"I had a lock-up into the last corner which is probably where pole went away, but P2 is still a good result, we can still fight from there in the sprint, so all in all, pretty happy.
"We've got more pace to unlock and I'm feeling positive, so I'll try and make up a spot tomorrow before we get stuck in where the big points are."
