Formula 1: Kimi Antonelli scores a second straight pole position for the Miami Grand Prix

Kimi Antonelli secured pole position for the 2026 Miami Grand Prix on Saturday, May 2, edging out Max Verstappen in a late charge.

Formula 1 is returning from a month-long hiatus caused by the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix due to the Iran War.
