In a display of exceptional skill and consistency, Red Bull's Max Verstappen secured pole position at the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday. Verstappen edged out Ferrari's Charles Leclerc by a mere 0.141 seconds, marking his sixth consecutive pole of the season. This remarkable achievement places him alongside French legend Alain Prost, who accomplished a similar feat with Williams in 1993.
The 26-year-old triple world champion continued his strong performance this weekend by winning not only the practice session but also the sprint qualifying and the sprint race. With this seventh pole in a row since last year's finale in Abu Dhabi, Verstappen has set a high bar for his competitors.
Verstappen remains the only racer to have stood atop the podium in Miami since the Grand Prix joined the Formula 1 calendar in 2022. His dominance this weekend sets the stage for a potential hat-trick, as he aims to convert his pole position into a race victory at the Miami International Autodrome.
