Red Bull’s Max Verstappen beat Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to take pole position for the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix.
The Dutchman was 0.108 seconds quicker than Leclerc, with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez third ahead of Daniel Ricciardo’s RB in a surprise fourth place.
“I just pushed too hard, simple as that,” Norris said. "Car was feeling very good. Just silly, to be honest - a couple of mistakes in Turn One and then a big spiral from there. The Dutchman said: “To be honest, it felt really terrible. Maybe that last session was just incredibly difficult to get the tyres to work. I didn’t really improve a lot on the soft but somehow we were first.
For Leclerc, it was an impressive performance after the Ferrari driver went into qualifying cold because he had missed all but one lap of practice following a spin out of Turn 16, which left him stranded in the middle of the track and brought out a red flag.
