The Miami Grand Prix has been brought forward three hours due to weather concerns - but how would the arrival of rain influence what appears to be a finely poised battle at the front?

F1 championship leader Kimi Antonelli did beat Max Verstappen to pole, but while those two appeared a step ahead in qualifying there were four different teams in the top four - with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc third and Lando Norris fourth for McLaren.

Isack Hadjar and Red Bull [forfeited a ninth-place start](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/isack-hadjar-red-bull-miami-gp-qualifying-disqualification/) due to a technical breach.

Below you'll find the starting grid for the fifth edition of the Miami GP:
