His qualifying lap of 1:26.204 outpaced competitors Lando Norris and Kimi Antonelli.

He acknowledged the complexities of tire management at the Miami circuit, indicating his respect for the nuances of the track.
"I think we improved the car a tiny amount as well, which helped me to basically rotate it a bit better... I'm very happy to be on pole."
"But around here it's just very complicated with the tires over a lap, but at the end it worked out well so I'm very happy to be on pole."
"I mean, you can back out of it, but it's qualifying, so you try to correct it and just floor it out of the corner."
