Miami is the next stop on the 2025 Formula 1 calendar, the first of three races in the USA this season. Located around the Hard Rock Stadium – home to the Miami Dolphins – the temporary circuit has been created to have a permanent feel and made its debut in 2022.
The circuit features 19 corners, elevation changes, and three long straights – each with a DRS zone. It will also mark the second F1 Sprint of the year, after the Shanghai International Circuit hosted the first over the Chinese Grand Prix weekend.
In the UK, all sessions will be shown live on Sky Sports F1, with lights out for the race start at 21:00 BST on Sunday 4 May.

How to watch F1

Norris will be looking to regain momentum in Miami
Grand Prix Photo
The 5.412km (3.3 miles)-long circuit in Miami Gardens was witness to Lando Norris’s first grand prix victory last season, and kicked off the start of McLaren’s F1 turnaround. As Oscar Piastri leads the drivers’ standings for the first time in his F1 career, and with team-mate Norris having a few mistake-riddled races as of late, Miami will be an interesting reference point.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has the most wins here, having been victorious in 2022 and 2023, and will be undoubtedly hoping to make it a hat-trick this weekend.
