Perez will start 1st, Verstappen 9th at Miami GP

Sergio Perez will be in the 1^st position at the start of the Crypto.com Miami GP as misfortune, including Charles Leclerc in the last minutes of the qualification, led to a red flag and caused Max Verstappen to finish 9^th.

The Mexican pilot had the fastest time on his 1^st of 2 tries in Q3, while Max had an error and didn’t set a time.

Charles, who will start 7, made a mistake in his 2^nd attempt to set a better time, and his Ferrari struck the barriers. With less than 2 minutes, that means that the qualification is over.

Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) will start 2^nd, while Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) will be 3^rd at the start tomorrow at Miami International Autodrome.

That’s one tasty looking grid for Sunday 😋#MiamiGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/p0sGFaNHmS
