OFFICIAL GRID: Who starts where in Miami after Hadjar's Qualifying DSQ

For the third Grand Prix in a row it’s Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli on pole after the Italian teenager proved uncatchable around the Miami International Autodrome – despite the best efforts of a resurgent Max Verstappen, who put his much-improved Red Bull on the front row.

Charles Leclerc is the lead Ferrari in third, after Lando Norris and McLaren failed to repeat their spectacular Sprint form, the reigning World Champion qualifying fourth with team mate Oscar Piastri seventh. Between the papaya cars lie Mercedes’ George Russell and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton.

A superb session from Franco Colapinto means he is the lead Alpine in eighth, with team mate Pierre Gasly ninth – the spot originally due to be filled by Isack Hadjar before the Red Bull driver was disqualified from Qualifying for a technical infringement.

Hadjar will start from the pit lane after Red Bull opted to change power unit elements on the Frenchman's car, so Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg completes the top 10 on the grid.
