Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton fired a major warning to the rest of the grid, claiming that the team’s cars “seem to be quicker” ahead of the qualifying session at the Miami Grand Prix.

So the last weekend hasn’t been great for me, I did a mistake in the race but today went well, so we are starting on pole and we need to finish the job tomorrow. First forays saw Verstappen top with a time of 1m 29.202s and Perez second by 0.471s, the Ferraris half a tenth behind in third and fourth. Verstappen was now in the driving seat for pole. Further runs would see the pack shuffle, the Scuderia re-emerging for Leclerc to go top again with a time of 1m 29.130s, Verstappen now 0.072s behind. Bottas rounded out the top five ahead of Hamilton, while Gasly took seventh. In the provisional drop zone was Stroll, Schumacher, Vettel, Ricciardo and Russell, who backed out of two efforts with the car porpoising heavily. Leclerc improved in Sector 1, set a purple second sector, but couldn’t improve in his third. Lewis Hamilton abandoned his first effort and a subsequent lap was deleted for track limits, putting the Mercedes driver in the drop zone with time ticking down. Q3 saw the reigning champion take provisional pole but Leclerc eclipsed him for a final pole time of 1m 28.796s, Sainz filing in second by 0.190s. That meant Alonso (who felt he was impeded by compatriot Carlos Sainz) missed out by just 0.032s – and Russell finished P12 amid severe porpoising, another 0.013s off the two-time champion. Perez’s first effort put him half a second behind in P4. Between them was Lando Norris, eighth in qualifying despite going P3 in Q2. Lance Stroll rounded out the top 10 for Aston Martin.
