F1 Practice Today: Miami Grand Prix 2025 start times, schedule, TV channel and live stream

Formula 1 heads across the pond for the sixth round of the 2025 season at the Miami Grand Prix - where the drivers may have to contend with unpredictable weather conditions ahead of the sprint weekend.

F1 RESULTS TODAY: Lewis Hamilton suffers major blow as late crash brings out red flag at Miami Grand Prix

The action at Miami International Autodrome will kick off with the first and only practice session on Friday before sprint qualifying, followed by the second sprint race of the season on Saturday ahead of qualifying for the main event. Sunday will then see the stars of the grid take to the track for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.

It was Oscar Piastri who got the better of reigning champion Max Verstappen last time out in Jeddah where he earned his fifth career win.

As a result, the Aussie star now leads the drivers' championship and is tied with papaya team-mate Lando Norris for grand prix victories

The Dutchman cut a miserable figure after the chequered flag was waved in Jeddah having been handed a five-second penalty by the stewards for a lap one incident with Piastri, with the verdict remaining a hot topic heading into round six.
