Incredible final qualifying of the Miami Grand Prix where Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc in Q3 was unable to find the feeling with the car: he touched the wall at turn 16 and then went long in turn 17 in the first attempt and in the second attempt he went off the track causing a red flag that froze practice at 1'36 '' from the end also relegating Max Verstappen in ninth position on the grid, he was also the victim of a mistake in the first attempt of Q3.
The Pole Position then goes to Sergio Perez. The Mexican Red Bull driver took pole ahead of Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin and Carlos Sainz's Ferrari. Surprise fourth place for Kevin Magnussen with Haas. Leclerc will thus be forced to start from the seventh box, behind Pierre Gasly (Alpine) and George Russell (Mercedes). Worse went to world leader Max Verstappen, who has dominated so far in Florida. The Dutchman failed to set a lap time on the second attempt due to Leclerc's accident and will thus be forced to start ninth, behind Esteban Ocon's Alpine and ahead of Valtteri Bottas' Alfa Romeo, which closes the top ten.
