Formula 1 is back, Miami. What to know about the Miami Grand Prix

Here's your guide to the action

How it works: Twenty drivers from 10 teams will race around the stadium, hitting speeds of nearly 200 mph.

• The main race is Sunday afternoon ( 📺 4pm on ABC) but the drivers will compete in a shorter Sprint race Saturday.
• You can also buy single-day tickets for F1 practice and qualifying sessions on Friday and Saturday.
• The Grand Prix coincides with on-track action from all-female F1 Academy and the Porsche Carrera Cup North America.

Martin's pro tip: The Miami Grand Prix is expensive, but Friday single-day grandstand tickets ($70+) are a great value with the addition of F1 Sprint race qualifying.

• By comparison, the cheapest tickets for Saturday and Sunday start at $220 and $500, respectively.

Getting there: Paid parking is available, but I always opt for ridesharing and/or the free shuttles.

What you should bring: A hat. Sunscreen (non-spray only). A small or clear bag. A sealed water bottle or clear, plastic reusable bottle. See prohibited items.

Star power: Thanks to Netflix's docu-series "Drive to Survive," F1 drivers are basically reality TV stars and their races are regularly attended by celebrities.

• The Miami GP takes that to the next level, with everyone from Bad Bunny to Shakira and Tom Cruise dropping by.

⚡ State of play: This has been the most competitive F1 season since 2021.

• Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen — the reigning four-time champion — is third in the driver standings behind McLaren's Lando Norris (second) and Oscar Piastri (first).
• Norris won the Miami GP last year, his first-ever career victory.
