Eventful Saturday nets P3 and P5 for Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix
- Kimi Antonelli will start P3 with George Russell P5 for Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.
- The result marks Kimi’s first top three Grand Prix qualifying position, following on from yesterday’s Sprint pole.
- George meanwhile maintains his record of qualifying in the top five for each Grand Prix and Sprint event so far this season.
- Rain left the track damp for Saturday’s F1 Sprint and the grid started the race on intermediate tyres with a delay start.
- The day began with the Sprint; heavy rain made conditions tricky, with the start delayed for over 30 minutes.
- Once the action got underway, both Kimi and George started on the Intermediate tyre. Kimi dropped to P4 through turn one with George holding P5.
- As the track transitioned to dry conditions, Kimi was collected by Max Verstappen after an unsafe release for the Red Bull Racing car. That ultimately dropped him down the order and he claimed P7 once post Sprint penalties had been applied.
- George meanwhile stopped later than some of his rivals, losing time in the process, but fought back to take P5 on the road and P4 in the final order.
- Qualifying proved a similarly tight and tense affair as Sprint Qualifying the day before.
- Both cars made it through to Q3, with George finishing just 0.181s adrift of pole position with Kimi an even more tantalising 0.067s shy of Verstappen’s session topping time.
- Tomorrow’s weather forecast presents a mixed picture, with a chance of rain and thunderstorms in the Miami area.
Kimi Antonelli
I’ve felt confident with the car throughout this weekend, and it was good to convert that into another strong qualifying result. I struggled a little bit in Q1 and Q2, not having as clean a run as I had in Sprint Qualifying yesterday. My last lap in Q3 was my best effort today though. I was a little greedy in turn one, but the rest of the lap was quick. The gaps at the front are incredibly tight and even a few hundredths can make a difference. I am happy with how my lap was though and P3 is a good place to be starting from for tomorrow’s Grand Prix.
The Sprint race was a little disappointing this morning. I lost several places at turn one and then was unfortunate with the contact with Verstappen in the pit lane. We had the opportunity and the pace to have a stronger result, but it was good to bounce back later in the day. We will be aiming to have a cleaner race tomorrow and see what we can do.
George Russell
Qualifying has been a strength of mine since the beginning of the season, but it has not clicked for me either yesterday or today. I am therefore relatively happy to take P5 on the grid for tomorrow’s because we know how tight the field is. To end up just under two tenths from pole is a bit of a surprise given the confidence I’ve been lacking on the single lap. The car is obviously quick as Kimi did another great job in Qualifying. I am really proud of how he has performed; he has been consistent, and we’ve got another chance to score some solid points for the team tomorrow.
We will reset tonight, and I’ll make sure I am performing at my best tomorrow. The Sprint was a little disappointing as we finished only one place ahead of where we started by virtue of a time penalty. We should have perhaps made the call to go to slicks earlier and we could have gained a couple more positions. That said, the Grand Prix is where the big points are scored. It may be mixed weather conditions again and we will be ready to take advantage of any opportunities that come our way.

We need to be pleased with the performances we put in during Qualifying today. Both drivers didn’t have the perfect laps, so we could hypothetically talk about starting higher up on the grid; Kimi had a small mistake at turn one and George had a snap of oversteer through turn seven. Nevertheless, we know it was going to be a tough ask to challenge the McLarens and Verstappen so, even though we’re never going to be satisfied with P3 and P5, we can look forward to Sunday.
The weather forecast for the race is mixed and we wouldn’t be unhappy with a few rain showers tomorrow. Our race pace isn’t as strong as the McLarens in the hotter conditions, and both Verstappen and the Ferraris have shown in recent races how quick they can be in similar circumstances. It is an area we are working hard to improve on and hopefully we can take a step forward in the upcoming races. For now, we will race hard tomorrow and see what we can do from the second and third rows of the grid.
Andrew Shovlin, Trackside Engineering Director
The Sprint this morning was frustrating. Kimi had a bit of wheel spin off the line, battled for position with Piastri and ultimately dropped to P4. After that, it was all about the transition to the dry tyres. We hesitated and went one lap later than others but would have still been in a decent position had Verstappen not been unsafely released into Kimi’s path. He reacted well to avoid anyone getting hurt but ultimately it finished his race as he had to drive around and stop the next lap. George lost a bit of race time by stopping the lap after but that was inevitable. It would have been good to see where we performed if we had more racing in the dry, but that will wait until tomorrow. We still scored some useful points, but it could have been a lot better.
We made a few small changes to the car going into Qualifying. The track seemed a bit more difficult today, with the drivers finding it harder to know where to position the tyre temperatures. Generally, the tyres were not biting as well as they had yesterday for us. It wasn’t an easy route through to Q3, but we got both cars there with two new sets of Soft tyres. Neither driver got perfect laps; both could have found a bit more and the gaps to pole position were not large. Starting P3 and P5 still gives us the opportunity for a good result tomorrow and, with threat of rain, anything can happen.
• Iaquinta, Masters e Braschi out, il secondo podio del round inaugurale è completato da Klein e Amati
• Doppio successo anche per De Amicis in Michelin Cup, mentre fra i Rookie esulta il 19enne olandese Schaap
Misano Adriatico. Esordio tra le emozioni e soprattutto i colpi di scena anche in una tiratissima gara 2 per i 34 protagonisti della Porsche Carrera Cup Italia 2025, il cui primo round si è concluso al Misano World Circuit con la seconda vittoria consecutiva di Alexander Tauscher. Dopo la notturna di sabato sera che aveva segnato il suo primo successo, ottenuto dalla pole position, il 22enne tedesco di Target Competition fa il bis nella corsa domenicale, dominata a un ritmo indiavolato che gli ha permesso di azzerare i 5 secondi di penalità rimediati per jump start e quindi di confermare la vittoria al traguardo per appena 8 millesimi, precedendo Marvin Klein (BeDriver) e il padrone di casa riminese Giorgio Amati (Prima Ghinzani), entrambi al primo podio stagionale dopo il caos che al via aveva messo fuori gioco Simone Iaquinta, Keagan Masters (entrambi a podio in gara 1) e Francesco Braschi.
Un rimescolamento che alle spalle del dominatore di Misano delinea ora una situazione di classifica tutta da definire, con il secondo round in programma il 6-8 giugno all’Autodromo di Vallelunga che diventa già snodo cruciale, mentre lo Scholarship Programme di Porsche Italia torna al centro del monomarca tricolore proprio con la new-entry Tauscher, che fra l’altro era all’esordio sul circuito romagnolo.
Al via di domenica, gara 2 ha perso immediatamente tre attesi protagonisti attesi. Iaquinta, che scattava in pole con la 911 GT3 Cup di Prima Ghinzani, si è ritrovato secondo alla terza curva alle spalle del giocane tedesco e alla successiva frenata si è girato per uno stallonamento, coinvolgendo gli incolpevoli Masters e Braschi, che sopraggiungevano dopo essere scattati dalla seconda fila. Iaquinta, il campione in carica del Team Q8 Hi Perform e il padrone di casa alfiere di Ombra Racing sono stati costretti al ritiro, mentre l’altro grande colpo di scena arrivava poco dopo metà gara. Incontrastato leader con anche il giro più veloce della corsa in 1’36″235, ottenuto al sesto passaggio, Tauscher è stato penalizzato di 5 secondi per jump start. Il vantaggio su Klein era di circa 3 secondi ed entrambi hanno cercato di forzare i tempi con gli obiettivi opposti l’uno di allungare e l’altro di restringere il gap che li divideva. Per un soffio Tauscher è riuscito nell’impresa, aggiungendo la vittoria di gara 2 al dominio mostrato già nei test, nelle libere, in qualifica e in gara 1.
Con Klein e Amati sul podio, la top-5 è quindi completata dai bresciani Alberto Cerqui (Ebimotors) e Gianmarco Quaresmini (Malucelli Motorsport), mentre un altro colpo di scena ha riguardato la classifica Rookie nel post-gara. Pietro Delli Guanti (Archesse Racing), che si era aggiudicato la graduatoria al sabato, ha perso l’opportunità di ripetersi in gara 2 quando è stato penalizzato di 10 secondi per un contatto con Aldo Festante (Dinamic Motorsport), perdendo la posizione finale in favore di Nathan Schapp. Per il giovanissimo pilota olandese di Target Competition, 19 anni appena, è il primo successo fra i Rookie in un fine settimana che lo ha visto progredire a ogni turno fino a conquistare il settimo posto assoluto conclusivo.
Come a Tauscher nell’assoluta, la doppietta riesce ad Alberto De Amicis in Michelin Cup. Pressato da Cesare Brusa, secondo con Prima Ghinzani come già in gara 1, il campione in carica non ha commesso errori e ha portato in dote a Ebimotors un secondo successo che lo lancia ulteriormente in vetta alla categoria.
Il podio di Michelin Cup è quindi cambiato nel post-gara quando la new-entry Andrea Girondi (Enrico Fulkgenzi Racing) è stato penalizzato di 10 secondi per un contatto con Stefano Stefanelli (Malucelli Motorsport). Terzo dietro a De Amicis e Brusa è così classificato Francesco Maria Fenici, a podio nel suo primo weekend con il team The Driving Experiences.
