Leclerc is in P2 and is 0.141 behind Verstappen in the lead

Will Verstappen get his sixth straight pole position of the year?

All the Williams, Aston Martins, and Alpines are out after Q2 - with Nico Hulkenberg surprising everyone by finishing P10 in his Haas machine. Much like Q1, Stroll is out by less than a tenth of a second.

15. ALB

He wasn't able to get a good steer into the hairpin off the back straight, but he's able to get back running

Verstappen sets the fastest lap to start things off, but is quickly overtaken by Lando Norris

Considering Bottas finished 0.010 behind and Sargeant was 0.034 behind, this could be an equally close quali session

Zhou may have been dropped even if he wasn't three-tenths slower than Alonso in P15 as the stewards are investigating him for some kind of infraction.

Disappointment for Daniel Ricciardo, but it will sting even more for Valterri Bottas and Logan Sargeant - who each finished less than a tenth behind P15.

Ricciardo is on the cusp in 15th at the moment, just 0.002 seconds ahead of Sargeant

Shocking, who could have ever seen this coming

Verstappen is just getting through with his out lap, so this probably won't stay the same for long

The Australian believes that Guanyu Zhou cut him off as he was getting ready to drive down the pit straight.

His race engineer calms him down by saying that they'll look into a possible penalty for them.

A Williams leads us out as we get started with qualifying in Miami

Can anyone stop Max Verstappen's five-race streak (at least, five races this year) of qualifying on pole?

It should be an exciting one, especially after the craziness of the sprint from earlier in the day

We're counting down the minutes until the start of qualifying

Idk about you, but I like the overalls and think the outfit in general looks slick.

The livery?.... that's a different story

The pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback were among the rich and famous that watched on for the sprint race - with the qualifying session coming in a little under 40 minutes

Norris was hit when the two Aston Martins collided with each other at the first turn and was immediately out of the race.

It's a positive for the Williams man, who we spoke to earlier this week.

The result might not have been a surprise - with Max Verstappen winning - but crashes jumbled the order of the grid.
