I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
Follow the only practice session from the 2025 Miami Grand Prix below. The sixth round of the 2025 F1 season is upon us, and the first session of the weekend is just about to get underway in the Sunshine State of Florida.
The sprint format returns for the second time of the 2025 season. The first sprint weekend took place at the Shanghai International Circuit for the Chinese Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton stormed to success on Friday and Saturday, setting pole in the sprint shootout and winning the sprint race for Ferrari.
It remains as only time this season that the Scuderia have been on the top step. The Italian team are also donning a special livery this weekend in order to celebrate their partnership with central partner HP.

Miami acted as an important turning point in 2024
Last year, the Miami Grand Prix was a key event in the 2024 season, changing the complexion of the title battle in its entirety with Lando Norris' victory.
The Brit crossed the line in P1 to take his first-ever win in the pinnacle of motorsport, also giving McLaren their first win in two-and-a-half years to catapult themselves to the front of the grid, going on to win the 2024 constructors' championship that year.
This year, the papaya-coloured team emerged as clear favourites to retain their title, and with four wins out of five to start the season, they have done so, with Oscar Piatri taking three of them to lead the drivers' standings.

However, after a few struggles during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix that saw McLaren have issues with tyre degradation and second-phase race pace, something they excelled at in 2024, the door is wide open for teams to challenge in Miami, setting up the potential for a fantastic race weekend.
