Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli became the youngest driver to take a Formula 1 pole position in the sprint event at the Miami Grand Prix. The 18-year-old beat McLaren's Oscar Piastri, the championship leader, by 0.045 seconds. The second McLaren of Lando Norris was third ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, just 0.055secs behind his team-mate.

The British racer got his first career F1 victory in the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, breaking Max Verstappen's attempt at winning the event's first four races (he won the 2022 and 2023 grand prix as well as the 2024 sprint race).
