Kimi Antonelli helped Mercedes rebound from a disappointing showing in the Saturday (May 2, 2026) sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix by winning the pole in qualifying just a few hours later.
It’s the third consecutive pole for the current Formula One championship leader, who blocked Max Verstappen from taking the top starting spot at Miami International Autodrome for a third straight year.
