Red Bull's Sergio Perez was gifted a dream pole position at the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday while team mate and Formula One leader Max Verstappen qualified only ninth.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc halted qualifying when he crashed with a minute and 36 seconds remaining and race control announced the session would not resume, leaving Verstappen unable to set a flying lap.
He had everything riding on a second that never happened. Leclerc lost control through turn six, spun and hit the barriers where the Monegasque had also crashed in Friday's second practice. "I was trying to put it on the limit and then I made a mistake and had to abort the lap," said Verstappen, who had been consistently faster than Perez in practice.
