A scorching qualifying gave current champion Max Verstappen another pole. He's the first driver since Alain Prost to be on pole in the first six rounds.
The Ferraris were hot on his heels in second and third - but no one was consistent around the tricky Miami circuit.
McLaren were also fast today - their new upgrades have shown they can be fast and stable through the fast corners. They finish second and third just behind Sergio Perez.
Home hero Logan Sargeant was born only 19 miles away from the track - but he could've stayed home after finishing 17th here.
Here's a rundown of each session:
Q1
Qualifying started with Sergeant out first. The drivers were all parked up in the pit lane ready to go out - a product of the less track time because of the sprint weekend.
Guanyu Zhou was reported to the stewards due to an incident with Daniel Riccardo when leaving the pits.
The first runs for the McLarens were slower than expected with the team bringing huge upgrades to both cars this weekend. They both finished in the top ten, however.
Miami-liveried Ferrari were fast to top the time sheet with a 1:28.159 from Carlos Sainz.
The first half of Q1 also showed Daniel Ricciardo's pace around this track. His first time was a 7th place - just three places behind his P4 finish in the sprint. He'll still be pushed back by three positions due to his incident in China.
Verstappen's first timed lap with 8 minutes to go put him where everyone expected him to be - P1. He set a time of 1:28.023, but his lap was quickly beaten by teammate and previous piolesitter Sergio Perez with a 1:27.772.
Home hero Logan Sergeant complained about Yuki Tsunoda - the Japanese driver impeded him on a flying lap.
With three minutes to go, the drivers were queueing again. Blocking and impeding has been an issue all weekend so all competitors were trying to find as much space as possible.
With a 48C track temperature, the drivers are also trying to tiptoe around the track to not destroy their tires on the warmup lap.
The two Red Bulls finish 1-2 after another hot lap from Max Verstappen - a time of 1:27.689.
Ricciardo couldn't replicate his previous lap and is knocked out in Q1. He is joined by Kevin Magnussen, Valtteri Bottas, Logan Sergeant and Guanyu Zhou.
Q2
Tsunoda was spritely out in Q2, but his first lap only put him 7th.
It was Charles Leclerc's session at the start, though. The Monegasque driver set a 1:27.533, a tenth faster than Verstappen's top Q1 lap.
The McLarens also showed their strength following closely behind the Ferrari. Championship leader Verstappen could only manage a fifth at the start of Q2.
The tyres were again an issue for Alex Albon - his tyres overheating and making him lock up, causing a brief yellow flag with 5 minutes left. Turn 17 has proved to be a tricky corner this year.
Nico Hulkenberg went into the last run in sixth place - ultimately finishing the session inside the top ten.
Lewis Hamilton, who loves this track, finished this session in third.
Out in Q2 were Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Alex Albon and Fernando Alonso.
Max Verstappen only finished second, behind Leclerc, even on new tyres. He was ready to bring the fight in Q3.
Q3
Q3 got underway with everyone expecting a battle for pole. Mistakes were rampant in the first runs - lots of drivers going wide or outbraking themselves to find the limit.
It was (of course) Max Verstappen who found the groove though - his first lap - a 1:27.241 - put him on the provisional pole in Q3.
Turn 17 was once again an impeding hotspot - Sainz had impeded Hulkenberg on his first lap. The indecent was dismissed, even though it was similar to Tsunoda's incident.
Mercedes went out for their fast laps on the mediums - they hoped the tyres would take them to pole because they ran out of softs.
It came as a surprise to no one that Verstappen was on pole at the end of Q3. He didn't improve his time, as didn't Leclerc or Sainz behind him.
Sergio Perez was in fourth followed by the two Mclarens in fifth and sixth.
The Mercedes followed them too and Hulkenberg and Tsunoda rounded out the top ten.
