F1 Miami: Title Fight Ignites in Mercedes!
1 May
Summary
- Formula 1 returns to Miami after a five-week break.
- Teenage driver Kimi Antonelli leads the championship.
- Mercedes has won the first three races of the season.
Formula 1 resumes its 2026 season with the Miami Grand Prix, returning to the Miami International Autodrome after a five-week break. This street-style circuit, built around the Hard Rock Stadium, has secured a deal to remain on the calendar until at least 2041.
Mercedes has been the dominant team, winning the first three races. However, teenager Kimi Antonelli leads the championship standings by nine points over his teammate George Russell, carrying momentum from his recent victories.
The weekend features a packed schedule, including single practice, sprint qualifying, a sprint race, and grand prix qualifying, all before Sunday's main event. New regulatory changes and an internal team battle add to the intrigue, potentially shaping the entire race weekend.
Broadcast coverage in the United States is primarily on Apple TV, with F1 TV as the global streaming service. In the UK, Sky Sports is the exclusive broadcaster. The weather in Miami is expected to be warm and mostly dry on Saturday, but Sunday forecasts include showers and potential thunderstorms.
