168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kimi Antonelli says he did not expect his stunning F1 pole position f🔯or the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix.

The 18-year-old Italian rookie, who was signed as seven-time world champion168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton꧅'s replacement at Mercedes, became the youngest driver to take an F1 pole position in Miami.

Antonelli produced an outstanding lap to outpace the McLaren pair of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris by a narrow margin and secure his place at the very front of the grid for ജSaturday’s shorter sprint race.

"Iꦐ did not see that coming. I felt the lap was good and I was happy with it,” Antonelli told🎐 Sky Sports F1.

"There w🧸ere still a few bits I could have done better but I was super happy with ho𓃲w I put all the sectors together. I will enjoy this moment but focus on tomorrow because it would be good to repeat that result.

"McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull have strong race pace but we are pretty close. It will be important to have a good start, then꧙ set a good pace without degrading [the tyres] too much."

It marked the first time this season that Antonelli has beaten Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell in qualifying.

Russell 🌄ended up fifth, 0.309s behind Antonelli after completingꦚ his sole SQ3 lap earlier than his rivals.

"Every weeken🦩d I learn massively,” Antonelli added. “L🌌ast week, having a break really helped me to gather information and process it all and recharging the batteries, it was really good.

"The whole qualifying I felt I was able to make a step lap by lap. I'm much more aware of how to♕ do a consistent warm up and e🔯xtract more out of the tyres but there's a lot to improve.

"Every weekend I get more confident with the car, can play with it more and explore the limits. At the same time, I can understand more from the set-up and give much bette☂r feedback which allows the team to improve the car.”
