New dad Max Verstappen showed he could be even faster as a father after storming to pole position at the Miami Formula One Grand Prix ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris on Saturday.

Lando Norris gave Max Verstappen credit where it was due—with a cheeky twist—after the Red Bull star claimed pole position for the Miami Grand Prix.

Lando Norris joked his hopes that Max Verstappen's newly minted fatherhood would slow the Miami Grand Prix polesitter down had been dashed, noting his rival "did a Max lap". Verstappen clinched pole over Norris by 0.065s, having managed to improve in the first sector despite a small wobble in the opening corner.
