  1. Verstappen on pole

    It's been a busy week for Max Verstappen! A new baby and pole position - can he convert it into a race win?

  2. Kimi Antonelli has pushed himself into the top three, behind Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. George Russel is in fifth.

    Fastest first sector for Max Verstappen despite a bit of understeer and a bit of oversteer.

  5. One minute klaxon!

    Lando Norris is on a fast lap now too. Max Verstappen has gone purple in sector one.

  6. Max Verstappen is still on provisional pole. Will it stay that way or will we see someone else jump to the top?

    You can't call this. It's unbelievable.

  8. Three minutes to go in Q3.

    Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda is the first car back out on track.

    It's so unbelievably close between these three cars. Just a reminder that Max Verstappen has a new floor this weekend. It's Red Bull's first sort of upgrade this year, to try and close the gap to McLaren, and it looks like it's working really quite well.

  10. Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli is in fourth spot, while his team mate George Russell, who has been complaining about the grip on his tyres, is in sixth spot.

    Kimi Antonelli has got the legs on George Russell so far this weekend it has to be said.

  12. Charles Leclerc has his lap time deleted after he exceeds track limits.

    The Ferrari man is in 10th spot.

    Max Verstappen put in not only a banker, but it was a beautiful lap.

  14. Verstappen provisional pole

    Max Verstappen has gone fastest, setting a time of 1:26.492.

    The McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are in second and third.

  15. All ten cars are out on track.

    Now, it might just be me but the skies are looking a little gloomy.

    BBC F1 correspondent in Miami

    Although Max Verstappen was fifth in Q2, he was on used tyres. So I don't think he is out of this at all.

  17. Pole to victory?

    There has been three F1 races in Miami so far.

    However, the driver that was in pole position, has not converted it into a win, in all three occasions.

    In 2022, Charles Leclerc was on pole but Max Verstappen took the win.

    Sergio Perez got pole position in 2023, but Red Bull team mate Verstappen also took the win that year.

    In 2024, Verstappen qualified on pole, however it was Lando Norris who secured victory.

    I wonder how it will pan out this year.

    The track temperature has gone down to 39 degrees and the air temperature is 27 degrees.

    Those grey clouds are just drifting towards us even closer.

  19. Go! Go! Go!

    Time for Q3.

    Who will get pole? We will find out in about 10 minutes.

  20. McLaren 'pushing each other'

    "They're pushing each other. They're learning from each other" says McLaren boss Zak Brown.

    Will Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri get pole? Or will it be someone else?
