Valtteri Bottas** Daniel Ricciardo has a grid sanction for the Miami Grand Prix due to a crash in China, but that applies to Sunday’s grid and not this sprint as the FIA does not consider a sprint a “race”.
**Valtteri Bottas received three positions for violating Piastri in the sprint classification. Since he finished 18th, he only lost two and finished last.
Was it Verstappen’s pole position at the Miami Grand Prix?
No. At the same time, Verstappen only achieved a sprint with pole position this weekend, but in the Dutchman’s statistics this does not count towards pole position. That honor will go to the Miami Grand Prix, and whoever tops the classification on Saturday night will once again be the favorite.
In 2021, the first year of the sprint format, pole went to the winner of the sprint race, who then started first in the main race.
How does Fernando Alonso perform in the Formula 1 sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix?
Fernando Alonso will start eighth in the 2024 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Sprint Race, completing the fourth row, with his teammate Lance Stroll ahead (seventh, in the same row) and Lando Norris behind, ninth.
How does Carlos Sainz perform in the Formula 1 sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix?
Carlos Sainz will start fifth Miami Grand Prix sprint race, third row of the grid, with Daniel Ricciardo in front and Oscar Piastri behind, in the same row.
How is Checo Perez doing in the Formula 1 sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix?
Sergio Perez will start third in the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix sprint race, on the second row just behind Leclerc and just in front of Ricciardo.
