- Safety car on lap six after two big crashes
- Gasly's Alpine flips in Turn 17 tangle
- Leclerc leads chaotic start
The fourth round of the 2026 Formula 1 season takes place at the Miami Grand Prix.
F1 returns following a five-week hiatus after the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia rounds were cancelled due to the conflict in the Middle East.
This weekend's Miami Grand Prix began with tweaks made to the power unit regulations, following meetings between F1 and its stakeholders during the month of April.
Most of the teams used the break as an opportunity to upgrade their cars, with Red Bull and McLaren bringing the most substantial update packages.
But it is still Mercedes who is the team to beat coming into Sunday's grand prix, after championship leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli topped qualifying.
After struggling in the sprint on Saturday, Antonelli snatched pole in a tense session that saw Red Bull's Max Verstappen his nearest challenger.
Ferrari will start third with Charles Leclerc, while sprint winner Lando Norris is fourth in the McLaren. George Russell will have to dig deep at a circuit he doesn't favour to get back on terms with his Mercedes team-mate Antonelli from fifth.
Lewis Hamilton was unhappy with his Ferrari in sixth in qualifying, while Oscar Piastri struggled to seventh in the second of the McLarens.
Alpine's Franco Colapinto was eighth in his second Q3 appearance in F1, while Red Bull's Isack Hadjar was due to start from ninth. However, he was disqualified from the result due to a technical infringement. It means Pierre Gasly (Alpine) and Nico Hulkenberg (Audi) complete the top 10.
Thunderstorm warnings forced F1 to bring forward the start time of the Miami Grand Prix to 6pm BST, though it is still set to be a wet race.
This will be the first time the 2026 cars have raced in the wet, with most drivers yet to do any laps in the rain in these new machines.
