Helmut Marko believes Max Verstappen's earlier pitstop could have allowed him to defeat the McLarens in a chaotic F1 Miami Grand Prix sprint race

Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen, a two-time Miami Grand Prix winner, claimed pole position for Sunday's race and will start on the front row alongside last year's race winner, McLaren Racing's Lando Norris.

Formula One is back in the U.S. for Round 6 of the F1 season and the Miami Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri and his McLaren team arrived at Miami International Autodrome leading both championships. But it is Mercedes’ teenage sensation Kimi Antonelli who will start today’s 30-minute sprint race from pole ahead of the two papaya cars.
