For the sixth round of the 2025 world championship, Formula 1 returns to Florida for the Miami Grand Prix. Lights go out at the Miami International Autodrome on Sunday, 4 May, and here’s how you can make sure you don’t miss a minute of the action.
Make sure to join us for Race Center Live, our live coverage of the race, complete with pre- and post-show coverage starting a half hour before lights go out for the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday, available in both English and Spanish.
The race will be the first of three grands prix in the U.S. this year, ahead of events in Austin and Las Vegas later in the season. And it comes at an exciting time for F1, as there’s a new leader atop the standings after McLaren’s Oscar Piastri picked up back-to-back wins in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Wins from Max Verstappen and Lando Norris also mean that the competition at the sharp end of F1 is hotting up.
So, if you want to keep up to date with all the action from the buildup to the race to lights out in Florida on Sunday, here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.
When is the 2025 Miami Grand Prix?
The action in Miami will kick off on Friday, when cars will hit the Miami International Autodrome in Florida for the first practice session of the weekend. However, because this weekend will pack in a sprint as well as the full grand prix, the timings for the three days of competition are a little different.
Formula 1 will race for a fourth time on the Miami International Autodrome this weekend. The track is a temporary circuit set out in the grounds of the Hard Rock Stadium in the Miami Gardens region of the Florida city.
In total, the track comprises 19 turns over its 3.36-mile layout, which runs in a counter-clockwise direction. The race features 57 laps of the track, which will each take in three DRS zones and could see drivers hit speeds of up to 199 mph.
When it comes to where the action can occur in Miami, the sequence of corners around Turn 16 and Turn 17 proved to be a prime overtaking spot in years past, as did the left-hander at Turn 11. However, there were just 41 overtakes during last year’s race, meaning there were fewer passes than there were laps around the Miami International Autodrome.
How can I watch the 2025 Miami Grand Prix?
There are a few ways you can stay abreast of all the action in Miami from the comfort of your own home. In the United States, viewers can watch Sunday’s race live on ABC. If you want to catch practice, the sprint and both qualifying sessions qualifying, then these will be shown across ESPN.
Alternatively, an F1 TV subscription gives you access to coverage of every session in Miami, as well as driver cams and a choice of commentary.
In the United Kingdom, coverage of the weekend will be available live on SkyF1 and NowTV, while extended highlights will be free-to-air on Channel Four from 01:30am on Monday morning.

Porsche Penske Motorsport used Sunday’s test day at the Circuit des 24 Heures to fine-tune its three factory 963 hybrid prototypes ahead of the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans. With temperatures just above 20 °C and light clouds, the team completed 194 laps—covering 2,643 km—across two three-hour sessions. Drivers reported a consistently balanced car after evaluating multiple setup options and testing new components.
“It was a very productive test day, during which we ticked off a full to-do list with all three cars,” said Urs Kuratle, director of factory racing LMDh. The team ran Michelin medium tyres throughout, anticipating warmer race-week conditions. “We wrapped up the day incident-free, and the drivers provided positive feedback,” added Jonathan Diuguid, managing director at Porsche Penske Motorsport.

Formula E world champion Pascal Wehrlein turned his first laps on the 13.626 km circuit in the No. 4 Porsche 963, while reserve driver Nico Müller prepared in the sister No. 5 car.

Driver feedback was uniformly positive. Felipe Nasr praised progress on brake and body-part testing, Mathieu Jaminet noted room for fine-tuning against a tight field, and Kévin Estre highlighted insights gained despite a late red-flag interruption. Manthey drivers Rahel Frey, Antares Au and Riccardo Pera all reported smooth, incident-free runs and a solid baseline for race preparations.

Determined Effort By Custer Ends Prematurely After Getting Collected in Michigan Crash – Speedway Digest
With the Xfinity Series off this weekend, Cole Custer carried the banner for the Haas Factory team during Cup Series racing at the 2-mile Michigan International Speedway.

With the Xfinity Series off this weekend, Cole Custer carried the banner for the Haas Factory team during Cup Series racing at the 2-mile Michigan International Speedway. Making his sixth Cup Series start at Michigan, Custer rolled off 24th on Sunday.
41 Cole Custer – Recap
Early in Stage One, Custer was faced with challenges, reporting that his No. 41 Ford was loose on entry and exit, with a hint of tightness in the center of the corners. The handling made it difficult to get back to the throttle quickly off the turns. Still, Custer and the team were undeterred. As Stage One ended the team worked to dial in the HaasTooling.com Ford. Adjustments, including a round of wedge, were made to help improve stability, and give Custer the ability to attack the turns.
As Stage Two began, Custer worked to overcome adversity, He found restarts especially challenging, due to a lack of grip while trying to re-enter the throttle zone. He described the car as being “out of the track” with minimal grip, though he noted the balance itself wasn’t far off – just lacking overall feel. Unfortunately, just as the team looked to regroup and regain track position, Custer was caught in a multi-car incident on lap 68. The crash ended Custer’s day early and brought a premature close to what had been a determined effort. Custer was officially credited with a 35th-place finish.
“I don’t exactly know what transpired to get us into that situation but it just seemed like we all just ran out of room,” said Custer. It’s really disappointing from the standpoint of we want to be on the up end of things with our team right now. We want to move in the right direction in the summer time. I like we are bringing better cars to the racetrack and getting more competitive but getting wrecked on days like this, definitely sets that back.”
