Miami Grand Prix 2022: Leclerc Takes Pole, Start Time, Channel

MIAMI—The time has finally come for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix.

After three practice sessions riddled with red flags, qualifying has come and gone with a few surprises. Although Mercedes dominated during the Friday practices, it slipped on Saturday with Lewis Hamilton in P6 and George Russell down in P14. Russell had set the fastest practice time in the second session on Friday and was hot on Charles Leclerc’s heels in the first session.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff revealed that the car is still bouncing, something Russell complained about over the team radio.

Meanwhile, Leclerc snagged the pole position for Sunday with teammate Carlos Sainz close behind, sealing a Ferrari front row.
