Crucial Q3 errors from Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc were the headlines from qualifying at the Miami International Autodrome, with the latter's preventing the former getting a second run in, leaving his Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez on pole.
Joining Perez on the front row will be Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso, another stellar lap putting him ahead of his fellow Spaniard Carlos Sainz in the Ferrari. Lining up next to Sainz will be Kevin Magnussen, whose P4 is the Haas team's best-ever starting position for a Grand Prix.
