Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli became the youngest driver to take a Formula 1 pole position for 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.
Antonelli's team-mate George Russell was fifth fastest, 0.309secs slower than the Italian rookie.
It was an outstanding performance from Antonelli, the first time he has beaten Russell in qualifying this season, and the first time he has shown a glimpse of the huge potential Mercedes believed they saw in him when they chose him to replace Lewis Hamilton.

Qualifying for the main grand prix gets under way at 21:00 BST.

Struggles for Russellpublished at 22:37 British Summer Time 2 May
The gap between Kimi Antonelli and his Mercedes team-mate George Russell was 0.309 seconds. His pole time in Miami was 1:26.482.
Russell is now doing his media duties and first congratulates the Italian on his achievement. "He did an amazing job," says Russell. "He's been really quick all day."
A little bit off the pace and not so comfortable is how Russell has described his sprint qualifying. "I wanted to go on the early side because, ultimately, I didn't quite have that confidence," he adds.
Postpublished at 22:34 British Summer Time 2 May
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is delighted his rookie driver has taken pole - even more so given Kimi Antonelli has never driven the Miami circuit. "Hopefully, he'll make us lots of fun in the future; lots of happiness," Wolff tells Sky Sports.
He adds it doesn't matter if it's a sprint pole or a main pole - Antonelli was the quickest.

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who claims his maiden pole position in Formula 1 for Saturday's sprint race: "It was a very intense qualifying, I felt really good since this morning and I felt confident going into qualifying. The last lap, I basically put everything together and it was nice that it came very nicely. Really happy to get the first pole.
"Tomorrow is going to be nice to start on the front row; it's going to be a bit of a different feeling but I really cannot wait for tomorrow to see how we can do in the sprint and the qualifying as well."
