Following an extended — and unexpected — layoff Formula 1 is back this weekend with the Miami Grand Prix.
First up on the docket? An elongated 90-minute FP1 followed by qualifying for Saturday’s F1 Sprint race in Miami.
Nearly every team used the extended layoff, due to the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, to bring some upgrades to South Beach. The teams put those upgrades through the paces during Friday’s 90-minute practice session, looking to unlock additional performance ahead of the first competitive session since the Japanese Grand Prix.
We’ll be following along live during qualifying for the F1 Sprint Race, which gets underway at 4:30 p.m. Eastern on Friday afternoon. So check back early and often!
