Starting Grid and TV Schedule for the Miami F1 Sprint 2026

Join us this Saturday, May 2nd at 6:00 PM for the Sprint race of the 2026 Miami Grand Prix F1.
Lando Norris made a strong impression in Miami. The McLaren driver secured pole position for the sprint race of the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, ending Mercedes’ impressive qualifying streak since the season opener in Melbourne. The Brit dominated SQ3 decisively, leaving Kimi Antonelli more than two-tenths behind.
Mercedes still has a strong card to play with the Italian on the front row. Behind this duo, Oscar Piastri confirms McLaren’s great form with third place on the grid, just ahead of Charles Leclerc. The Ferrari driver may have some regrets after a final attempt that seemed capable of achieving a better result but turned out imperfect.
In a more distant position than usual, George Russell will start only sixth alongside Max Verstappen. The Mercedes W17 appears less untouchable on the Florida track, although race pace could change the dynamics.
Alpine in the mix in Miami
The pleasant surprise comes from Alpine and Franco Colapinto. Recently well-supported in Argentina, the young driver outpaced Pierre Gasly and will start from the fourth row. Lewis Hamilton limits the damage with seventh position, while Isack Hadjar continues to prove his strength by placing ahead of Gasly.
