F1 returns to the Miami International Autodrome for the fourth round of the 2026 season this weekend, with the Miami Grand Prix taking centre stage after a five-week break.

Following the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, F1 has been on an enforced break. But rather than kicking back and relaxing, teams have been hard at work developing upgrades for the Miami GP.

While Mercedes are expected to remain the favourites this weekend, the likes of Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull have brought a raft of upgrades to help them fight closer to the top.

Elsewhere, the FIA have also introduced tweaks to the F1 rules in a bid to improve the qualifying spectacle and improve safety, which will be in effect from the Miami GP onwards.

On top of all of this, Miami is also the second sprint weekend of the season with just one practice session to welcome the drivers back into the 2026 campaign.

And you can catch highlights of all the competitive action from Miami for free on Channel 4.
