Who will secure Miami Grand Prix victory as storm threatens?

Kimi Antonelli starts from pole position for the third consecutive race after outpacing Max Verstappen by 0.166s in qualifying.

The performance placed the 19-year-old Mercedes driver in illustrious company alongside Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher as the only drivers to claim their first three poles consecutively.

But with thunderstorms looming over the Miami International Autodrome, race officials have already brought the start forward by three hours to 1pm local time in a bid to beat the weather. 

The forecast predicts heavy rain, lightning and strong winds hitting the circuit during the afternoon, with a 40 per cent chance of showers and partly cloudy conditions earlier in the day.

Verstappen lines up second for Red Bull, with Charles Leclerc third and Lando Norris fourth, whilst George Russell rounds out the top five. Lewis Hamilton qualified sixth ahead of Oscar Piastri in seventh.

McLaren's dramatic drop from their Sprint race dominance, where they secured a one-two finish, raises questions about their race pace, particularly if conditions deteriorate. 

The unpredictable weather could shuffle the pack entirely, offering opportunities for those further down the grid who thrive in chaotic circumstances.
