Miami Grand Prix 2025: Practice Schedule, Session Times, TV Coverage, and Streaming⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Formula 1 makes its annual visit to the United States for the sixth round of the 2025 season at the highly anticipated Miami Grand Prix. Held at the Miami International Autodrome, the race weekend is set to feature unpredictable weather and intense on-track action, particularly as it’s one of the select sprint race events on the calendar.
Friday’s schedule opens with the sole practice session (FP1), giving teams limited time to fine-tune setups before sprint qualifying later that day. The weekend continues on Saturday with the season’s second sprint race, followed by qualifying for Sunday’s main Grand Prix event.
The spotlight shines brightly on McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who arrives in Miami fresh off a win in Jeddah. His victory, which marked his fifth career triumph, saw him beat reigning world champion Max Verstappen, intensifying the championship fight. Piastri now leads the standings and is tied with teammate Lando Norris in terms of Grand Prix wins, signaling a strong showing from the papaya team in 2025.
The Jeddah race ended controversially for Verstappen, who received a five-second penalty for a first-lap clash with Piastri. The stewards’ decision remains a talking point as the paddock regroups in Miami. Verstappen’s frustration was evident post-race, and all eyes will be on how he responds this weekend.
