2024 Miami Grand Prix – Qualifying results (Miami International Autodrome)
Here are the complete results from the qualifying hour at the Miami International Autodrome for the 2024 Miami Grand Prix.
The qualifying session for the 2024 Miami Grand Prix is underway, with Q1 complete and Max Verstappen picking up where he left off in the Sprint race.
Q1:
Verstappen set the quickest time of Q1, pipping Perez’s pace on the final run by just 0.083 seconds, with Lando Norris bouncing back from his Sprint race disappointment to go third and two-tenths of a second down.
The surprise times of Q1 were set by the two Alpine drivers who, having struggled to escape Q1 all season so far, popped up in fifth with Pierre Gasly and 11th with Esteban Ocon, while Fernando Alonso scraped through in 15th.
Eliminated in Q1 were Sauber’s Valtteri Bottas in 16th, and Logan Sargeant in 17th for Williams.
Having come home in fourth place for a season-best result in the Sprint, it was a hard bump back down to earth for Daniel Ricciardo as the Australian driver could only manage the 18th quickest time. He complained about a lack of grip as he was wheeled back into the garage, and he’ll start last due to his three-place grid penalty from China.
Kevin Magnussen was 19th for Haas, continuing his difficult weekend after picking up multiple penalties in the Sprint – the Danish driver missed his braking point at the Turn 17 complex due to being distracted by traffic.
Zhou Guanyu finished 20th for Sauber, but will be promoted to 19th on the grid due to Ricciardo’s penalty.
