Max Verstappen has taken pole in Miami, outqualifying Lando Norris in P2 by just 0.065 seconds. Kimi Antonelli and World Championship leader Oscar Piastri will start Sunday's Grand Prix (4 p.m. ET) alongside one another on the second row after qualifying P3 and P4.

However, it has now been claimed that one team interested in Verstappen is now 'out of the question'. As reported by F1 Insider, Verstappen and his camp have narrowed down the options for 2026 to just two: staying with Red Bull or leaving for Mercedes.

Kimi Antonelli, who at 18 years old became F1’s youngest pole winner in history when he started first in Saturday’s sprint race, qualified third for Mercedes. It is the first time he qualified higher than teammate George Russell, who was fifth behind current F1 points leader Oscar Piastri of McLaren.
