In that sprint, seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton claimed his first victory for Ferrari, but the 40-year-old has struggled massively ever since, his SF-25 proving a hard car to grapple with.
Heading to Miami, and following the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last time out, Oscar Piastri leads the drivers' standings, with team-mate Lando Norris behind in second, and Max Verstappen in third.
With that said, let's get into the details ahead of today's action and how you can watch it all unfold live!
