Max Verstappen is the daddy on and off the track. Having become a father for the first time a few days before, he took pole for the Miami Grand Prix.

The Dutchman arrived in Florida late after his girlfriend Kelly Piquet gave birth to baby Lily, but he put sentiment aside to pip McLaren’s Lando Norris by six-hundredths of a second.

Norris can take a positive out of yesterday after winning the sprint race earlier in the afternoon with the help of a timely safety car, which put him ahead of team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri.
