Third pole in a row for the Italian driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher: the Italian driver achieved the third consecutive pole position in Miami ahead of a revived Max Verstappen and the usual Charles Leclerc. The time clock achieved at the end of the first run was enough for Antonelli, in the second he blocked already in Turn-1, but the Mercedes driver did not have to regret this mistake he made. “I’m happy, however it’s been a complicated weekend so far, we struggled a little more with the balance and the other teams brought substantial updates – Antonelli told Sky’s microphones – it wasn’t easy, but the first lap in Q3 was very good, I had a bit of a margin, but in the second attempt I immediately made a disaster. I wasn’t comfortable with the time of the first run, the gap was important, but never say never with Verstappen and Leclerc on a track where it’s easy to find a lot of time to spare one lap after another. I dedicate this pole to Zanardi, he was a friend of ours, I send my condolences to the family”.
