Antonelli claims pole position for F1 Miami Grand Prix

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli bounced back from a disappointing sprint race to claim pole position for the Formula One Miami Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver clocked 1 minute 27.798 seconds in Saturday's qualifying session to claim a third consecutive pole position this season.

Four-time world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull was 0.166 seconds behind in second, by far his best qualifying result this year. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari completed the top three.

Antonelli started the sprint in second but didn't get away particularly well and lost positions. He finished fourth, but was demoted to sixth after a penalty for excessive track limits breaches.

Mercedes team-mate George Russell was fifth, while defending F1 champion and sprint winner Lando Norris was fourth.
