Antonelli was joined by Red Bull’s resurgent Max Verstappen and the Ferraris in a gripping pole battle. McLaren also could not be ruled out.
Verstappen provided the sternest Q3 threat, but was forced to settle for a spot on the front row alongside an ever-impressive Antonelli.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc will be at the head of row two with McLaren’s Lando Norris for company. That means four different manufacturers are represented on the front two rows of the grid.
George Russell goes from row three, alongside his former teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Oscar Piastri, Franco Colapinto, Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly complete the top 10.
Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg is to launch from P11. Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson starts P12.
Oliver Bearman starts P13 in the Haas, joined by Williams’ Carlos Sainz on the seventh row.
Esteban Ocon is next up, as Alex Albon, Arvid Lindblad, Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll, Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez and Gabriel Bortoleto complete the Miami Grand Prix grid.
