Formula 1 continues its 2026 Miami Grand Prix weekend at the Miami International Autodrome, with the grid now set following Saturday\u2019s sprint and qualifying sessions.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the grid as the lights go out, with Kimi Antonelli<\/a> and Max Verstappen<\/a> sharing the front row. Just behind, Charles Leclerc<\/a> and Lando Norris<\/a> complete the second row, as four teams fill the top four qualifying positions.<\/p>\n

The entire grid is closer than ever after a month-long break. Even at the back of the grid, both Cadillac and Aston Martin are more competitive this round, and may spend the Miami GP locked in battle.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Following reports of severe weather, race organizers have moved the Miami GP race start ahead to 1 PM – 1300 local time \/ 1700 GMT.<\/p>\n

First held in 2022, the Miami race has quickly become one of Formula 1\u2019s highest-profile U.S. stops. Built around the Hard Rock Stadium complex, the tight street-style circuit is set to remain on the calendar until at least 2041 following a long-term agreement.<\/p>\n

Mercedes remains a central focus heading into Sunday\u2019s race after its strong start to the season, although the competitive picture may have shifted following the Miami sprint race and qualifying. Championship leader Antonelli<\/a> continues to set the pace, maintaining a narrow advantage over team-mate George Russell<\/a> as the intra-team battle develops this season.<\/p>\n

With limited practice running, evolving track conditions and the added variables from sprint weekend format, Sunday\u2019s grand\u00a0prix presents a wide range of strategic possibilities.<\/p>\n

Here is everything you need to know ahead of Sunday\u2019s race in Miami.<\/p>\n
