168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kimi Antonelli says he did not expect his stunning F1 🦋pole positiꦯon for the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix.

The 18-year-old Italian rookie, who was signed as seven-time world champion168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton's replacement at Mercedes, becaꦑme the younges🔯t driver to take an F1 pole position in Miami.

Antonelli produced an outstanding lap to outpace the McLaren pair of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris by a narrow margin and secure his place at the very front of the grid for Saturday’s shorter sprin๊t race.

"I did🍸 not see that coming. I felt the lap was good and I ไwas happy with it,” Antonelli told Sky Sports F1.

"There were still 💝a few bits I could have done better but I was super happy with how I put all the sectors together. I will enjoy this moment but focus on tomorrow because it would be good to repeat that result.

"McLaren, Ferrari and Reꦑd Bull have strong race pace but we are pretty close. It will be important to have a good start, then set a good pace without degrading [the tyres] too much."

It marked the first time this season that Antonelli has beaten Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell in qualifying.

Russell ended up fifth, 0.309s behind Antonelli after completing his sole SQ3 lap earlier than his riv🃏als.

"Every weekend I learn massively,” Antonelli added. “Last week, having a break really helped me to gather information🌠 and process it all and recharging the batteries, it was really good.

"The whole qualifying I felt I was able to make a step lap by🌸 lap. I'm much more aware of how to do a consistent warm up and extract more out of the tyres but there's a lot to improve.

"Every weekend I get more confident with the car, can play with it more and explore the limits. At the same time, I can understand more from the set-up and give much better feedback which allows the team to improv﷽e the car.”

Antonelli’s emotional celebration with father

Antonelli was seen embracing his father Marco as Mercedes w🐭ildly celebrated his milestone achiev💮ement.

"My dad has been coming since the ꧟start of the season,” Antonelli said of his celebrations with his father.

“He’s like a rock for me because I can alwaꦏys rely on him and it's nice to share t🧔his moment with him.”

In a separate in🔯terview, Marco told Sky Sports F1: "At the moment it's difficul🥀t to say what I feel. After five races, it's unbelievable that he's on pole.

"Yes i꧑t's a Sprint race but we have had a good s🌳tart!

"We are one family that tries to transmit that in life you have to wor൲k hard, don't complain before you understand if you did a good job or not, 🤪focus on the future.

"We are a normal family. We work every day and I♒ think we are n꧅othing special other than a family trying to give their children the best for life.

"Kimi understood this and this is the result."
