Formula 1 cars return to the United States this weekend for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, with FP1 action from the Miami International Autodrome getting underway today (Friday, May 2).
The Miami GP represents the second sprint race weekend of the season after the Chinese Grand Prix in March, meaning there will be just a single practice session in South Florida today, followed by sprint qualifying later in the evening.
Oscar Piastri got the better of reigning champion Max Verstappen last time out at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, where he earned his fifth career win. As a result, the Aussie star now leads the drivers' championship and is tied with McLaren team-mate Lando Norris for grand prix victories.
Following his defeat in Jeddah, Verstappen cut a frustrated figure 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.
It will certainly be interesting to see how all of the on-track action plays out this weekend, starting with FP1!
The action from this weekend's only practice session will get underway today (Friday, May 2, 2025) with FP1 at 12:30 pm (ET) ahead of the all-important sprint qualifying later on at 4:30 pm (ET).
