MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Anyone who thought fatherhood might slow down Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen would have been bitterly disappointed on Saturday as the Dutchman romped to another exceptional pole position.
After a messy sprint race earlier in the day, Verstappen put things right on Saturday afternoon, snatching pole away from McLaren's Lando Norris by 0.065 seconds at the circuit that loops around the Hard Rock Stadium. Business as usual for the four-time world champion.
With the tantalizing prospect of rain -- where Verstappen's exceptional talent inches closer to superhero territory -- a second win of the season does not seem like an unreasonable prediction going into Sunday's grand prix.
