What is the Miami GP weather forecast?

The early forecast in Miami suggests it will be hot and mostly sunny but rain could be a factor.

On Friday, practice and sprint qualifying should see sunny intervals and a gentle breeze with a high of 29C. It should be similar for the sprint race and main qualifying on Saturday, though with a possibility of showers.

For Sunday's main grand prix, it's a sunny start to the day with a high of 30C but there is a chance of light showers during the race, which starts at 16:00 local time.

How do the F1 sprint events work?

Lewis Hamilton took his maiden win for Ferrari at the first sprint race of the 2025 season in China

Sprint qualifying has three sessions, where the five slowest cars are eliminated from the first two - like normal qualifying.

These sessions, known as SQ1, SQ2 and SQ3, last 12, 10 and eight minutes respectively.

This will make up the grid for the sprint race, which is 100km.

The top eight finishers score points, from eight for first place to one for eighth spot, which will get added to the overall drivers' championship standings.

Following this sprint weekend in Miami, Belgium, Austin in Texas, Sao Paulo and Qatar host the remaining four events.
