F1 Sprint Race Today: 2025 Miami Grand Prix start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

Formula 1 cars hit the track in South Florida once again on Saturday (May 3) for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix sprint race.

It should certainly be an exciting sprint, too, after a huge shock in sprint qualifying on Saturday afternoon saw Mercedes star and F1 rookie Kimi Antonelli secure his first pole position in the sport.

In doing so, Antonelli is set to be the youngest ever driver to start an F1 race at the front, although he has close company behind, with both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris within one-tenth in P2 and P3.

Elsewhere, reigning world champion Max Verstappen lines up fourth in today's race, with Antonelli's Mercedes team-mate George Russell set to start fifth.

The seven-time world champion faces a monumental task to do so again in Miami, however, starting down in 7th as his struggles at Ferrari continue.

With that said, let's get into what matters most, the timing details, and how you can watch today's sprint race live!
