Miami Grand Prix: Formula One world champion Lando Norris produced a stunning lap to secure pole position for the Miami Grand Prix sprint race, edging out Mercedes’ championship leader Kimi Antonelli and denying McLaren a front-row lockout.

Norris raced twice in Miami last season so he knew how to navigate the Hard Rock Stadium circuit and was able to put together an impressive lap time of 1:27.869.

Delighted with the result, Norris credited the team’s recent upgrades for the turnaround in performance. “A perfect result for us. A nice way to reward the team,” he said. “We have a lot of new upgrades on the car. It's nice to feel some grip again and to reward the guys and the girls that have put a lot of work into this.”
