The Red Bull driver again showed his dominance in South Florida by continuing his perfect start to the season in qualifying.
on Saturday with yet another impressive performance at the first American event of the season. Verstappen beat out the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, who finished second and third respectively.
Throughout the afternoon session under the South Florida sun, Verstappen expressed his concern with the grip of the soft tires that most of the field was using. He ultimately wasn't able to improve upon his first flying lap of the third qualifying period , but the time was enough for him to land on pole for the sixth time in six races in 2024.
Verstappen, who was also the winner of Saturday's F1 sprint race, will now be well-positioned to win the Miami Grand Prix for the third year in a row. A victory would go a long way in extending his lead in the drivers' world championship standings, which has already grown to 27 points over Red Bull teammate Sergio Pérez.
