The Miami Grand Prix is poised to start at 1 PM ET as teams prepare for potential rain, which is forecasted to arrive shortly after the race begins. Kimi Antonelli claimed pole position with a strong lap, edging out Max Verstappen, who will start in second. Red Bull's Isack Hadjar was disqualified from qualifying due to a technical infringement, relegating him to the back of the grid in 22nd place. The FIA has warned that outdoor sports events in Florida must cease if lightning is detected within an eight-mile radius, which could lead to disruptions during the race. Antonelli, who leads the world championship by seven points over teammate George Russell, aims to maintain Mercedes' strong performance after a dominant showing in the sprint race. The race start was moved forward by three hours due to the threat of heavy storms predicted for the afternoon.
