Yuki Tsunoda’s radio messages on the final lap of the Miami Sprint hinted at a Red Bull plan to minimise his team-mate Max Verstappen’s penalty, but it came to nought. Verstappen was given a 10-second penalty in Saturday’s Sprint at the Miami Grand Prix after an unsafe release resulted in a crash in the pit lane with Kimi Antonelli.

Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner blamed “human error” for Max Verstappen 's pit lane collision with Kimi Antonelli in the Miami sprint race. During the switchover to dry tyres, the pit lane was busy in Miami. Verstappen was released into Antonelli’s path as he left his pit box.

Max Verstappen has taken pole in Miami, outqualifying Lando Norris in P2 by just 0.065 seconds. Kimi Antonelli and World Championship leader Oscar Piastri will start Sunday's Grand Prix (4 p.m. ET) alongside one another on the second row after qualifying P3 and P4.
