The Miami Grand Prix weekend is upon us with the first and only Free Practice session due to take place in a few hours time.

The Miami International Autodrome, set around the Hard Rock Stadium, is set to host the second sprint race weekend of the year. So, as a reminder, Friday will feature Free Practice 1 followed by the Sprint Qualifying session which will determine the grid for the Sprint Race which will take place on Saturday. Qualifying for the Grand Prix will be after the Sprint Race on Saturday setting the grid for the GP on Sunday.

Max Verstappen heads into the weekend with four victories out of the five races so far, with Carlos Sainz claiming the top spot of the podium in the Australian Grand Prix. As Red Bull continues to be dominant, Ferrari and McLaren have been the closest contenders so far this season. Mercedes are due to bring upgrades this weekend, however, with just one practice session the team does not have much time to optimize these.
