  1. 'Hard to predict weather'

    Jennie Gow
    F1 pit-lane reporter in Miami

    It's really hard to predict what's actually going to happen, the rain can come really close and not actually fall on track.

    Let's see what team gets it right.

  2. Lap 7/57

    Max Verstappen is leading from Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antoenlli but Lando Norris is bringing himself back into contention. The Mercedes teenager is next on his to-do list.

  3. Lap 6/57

    Lando Norris is on the move once again and an overtake on George Russell, who started on the hards, lifts the McLaren to fourth place.

  4. Lap 5/57

    Race control, unsurprisingly, have noted the incident between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris at Turn Two. Oscar Piastri asks if the Dutchman has received a penalty? No news yet, say McLaren.

    And he won't get one, either, as the stewards have decided to take no further action.

  5. Team radio - Alonso

    Engineer: "Possible rain in 20 laps, it will be heavy if it hits."

  6. Lap 5/57

    Isack Hadjar started in front of his idol Lewis Hamilton in Miami but the rookie can't defend against the experienced driver once he decides to pounce. Hamilton breezes past and is now P11.

    Aston Martin inform Fernando Alonso possible rain is on the way in 20 laps - and it could be heavy...

  7. 'Norris will have to work hard'

    Lando Norris made a place on Alex Albon, so he's making progress and he's recovering some of that lost ground.

    He will be pretty fired up, but he's going to have to work really hard to get back through this traffic.

    Sho: Verstappen has just shunted Lando off the track there. Has to get a penalty for that.

  9. Track clear

    Lap 4/57

    Max Verstappen is still leading this Miami Grand Prix despite his nervy moments on lap one. Kimi Antonelli soon finds himself under threat from championship leader Oscar Piastri and the Australian wastes no time taking the teenager's second place.

    The other McLaren of Lando Norris has gained a spot on Alex Albon and is now in fifth.

  10. 'I think the stewards will be having a look at that'

    Damon Hill

    [On Turn 2] When you look at it on the onboard of Lando Norris' car you have to say that Max Verstappen definitely jinked towards Norris, I think the stewards will be having a look at that.

  11. Virtual Safety Car

    Lap 3/57

    Liam Lawson's tag with Jack Doohan sent the Racing Bulls driver into a spin. The New Zealander is on the radio to complain as he drops down to 19th place.

  12. Team radio - Norris to McLaren

    "He forced me off mate. What am I meant to do, just drive into the wall or something? Like I was completely alongside."

  13. Virtual Safety Car

    Lap 2/57

    There might have been contact between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris as the pair battle for the lead. "He forced me off," says Norris to his pit wall. The Briton tried to go on the inside of Max Verstappen and was squeezed out.

    The virtual safety car is deployed for Jack Doohan's Alpine. Liam Lawson tagged the Australian's wheel and that's his race done.

  14. 'Fantastic start by Antonelli'

    Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Live in Miami

    That was a little bit of an overbold defence by Lando Norris, it was a disaster. He got round the outside and tried to recover his position on Max Verstappen and he ran wide.

    A fantastic start by Kimi Antonelli as he had a little look there on Verstappen.

  15. Team radio - Doohan to Alpine

    "I've got a puncture."

  16. Go! Go! Go!

    Lap 1/57

    Miami heat!

    Max Verstappen gets a good start off the line but the Dutchman locks up slightly and is under pressure. Lando Norris thinks he can take advantage but the McLaren driver is pushed out and has lost places already! Norris is all the way down in sixth now.

    Kimi Antonelli moves to second and Oscar Piastri is now in third. Jack Doohan also has a puncture in the Alpine.

  17. 'Drivers trying to keep themselves calm'

    Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Live in Miami

    The drivers are partly trying to keep themselves calm because it's very easy to get your brain overexcited. You have a strict and tricky procedure getting these cars parked on the right place on the grid.

    We're watching the cars weaving a lot because they're trying to put heat into the tyres.

  18. Max Verstappen and Lando Norris have reached the front of the queue, quickly followed by the rest of the field. Will this be a good one? We're about to find out...

    Andrew Priestley: Antonelli vs Piastri, the sequel, should be an entertaining watch into Turn 1.

    Jeremiah Kariuki: Ferrari have fallen behind, not just below McLarens, Red Bull and Mercedes but also others like Williams. Only good strategies will elevate any of the two drivers to anywhere P5/P6.

  20. Formation lap

    And off they go, in the dry.

    The front four are on the medium tyres, George Russell in fifth has gone for the hard compound to start on, so the opposite strategy to his team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
