Miami Grand Prix 2026 preview
While the TV cameras will inevitably spend much of their time hunting out celebrities in the crowd in Miami this weekend, the action on the tarmac comes at a fascinating time for the championship. The enforced month-long break will have given engineers the chance to tinker under the hoods, while every driver on the grid will have been playing the twists and turns in the 5.4km track over and over in their minds.
Miami is a happy hunting ground for reigning F1 champion Lando Norris – he took his maiden victory here in 2024. And, seeing that teammate Oscar Piastri topped the podium last year, McLaren will be hopeful of a return to winning ways after their disastrous start to the 2026 season. They've promised a 'completely new car' in order to kickstart their campaign.
Mercedes, on the other hand, must be cock-a-hoop at how the year has gone so far. Three wins from three will have been beyond their wildest dreams at the start of 2026, and Kimi Antonelli and George Russell will see Miami as a golden opportunity to entrench themselves at the top of the standings. The Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and seven-time champ Lewis Hamilton have also made big strides, however, and will be desperate to record their first victory of the season here.
The part-street track, part-traditional circuit of the Miami Autodrome makes it a difficult beast to master, with exceptionally fast straights reigned in by plenty of tough turns. In their first home Grand Prix, the Cadillac team will be eager to capitalize, with Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez still seeking the constructor's first ever point in Formula 1.
