Could we be set for a four-way title fight after Miami’s Sprint Qualifying thriller?

Mercedes’ stranglehold on pole positions in 2026 was broken in Miami as McLaren’s Lando Norris set a scintillating pace in Sprint Qualifying to outgun championship leader Kimi Antonelli – with the pecking order getting a bit of a shake-up in the Sunshine State.

We know Lando Norris loves Miami – but where on Earth did that lap come from?

A heavily upgraded McLaren, that’s where. Team Principal Andrea Stella said before the weekend that his team would be bringing a completely new car across the Miami and Canadian Grands Prix – and while they were hopeful of closing the gap to Mercedes, they didn’t expect to overhaul them.
