Mercedes had dominated the first three races of the season, leaving little room for competitors. However, Norris’s performance—0.222 seconds quicker than Kimi Antonelli—signals a shift in momentum. George Russell noted how surprising it is that both McLaren and Ferrari have made significant advancements. The upgrades they brought to Miami have clearly paid off.

Key statistics from qualifying:

• Norris secured pole position for the 19-lap sprint race.
• Kimi Antonelli finished just 0.4 seconds behind him.
• Charles Leclerc was 0.164 seconds faster than Max Verstappen in practice.

The sprint race will kick off at 17:00 BST on Saturday, May 2, followed by the main race on Sunday at 21:00 BST. With new upgrades across several teams, including McLaren’s impressive showing, fans can expect fierce competition ahead.

Yet uncertainties linger regarding how these changes will affect the drivers’ championship standings. Currently, Kimi Antonelli holds a nine-point lead over George Russell. As teams prepare for race day, all eyes will be on how they adapt to Miami’s challenging conditions and each other’s strategies.
