After a trio of events in the Pacific/Asia region with Australia, Japan, and China, F1 heads to the first of three separate visits to North America.
The first of those is for the Miami Grand Prix for what will be the third edition of the Miami Grand Prix from the Miami International Autodrome.
Despite its name, the venue is essentially a street circuit laid out in the car park of the Hard Rock Stadium.
It was this event last year that kick-started Max Verstappen’s domination of the championship as he crushed team-mate Sergio Perez with a strong drive following a (comparatively) poor qualifying.
Ferrari’s weaknesses in tyre management also came to the fore as Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz both struggled at different points and, confusingly for the team, on different tyres.
This year, the focus will be on whether Daniel Ricciardo can bounce back after a promising weekend in Japan was followed up by a similarly encouraging performance in China before he was nerfed out of the race by Lance Stroll.

McLaren is poised to bring updates that could see Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri take a step forward.
The support programme this weekend features two categories: the local Porsche Carrera Cup series and the second round of F1 Academy.
When is the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix
