How to follow Miami Grand Prix on the BBC

Formula 1 returns after an enforced five-week break with the Miami Grand Prix at the Miami International Autodrome, from 1-3 May.

Round four in the United States is also the second sprint event of the now 22-race season.

World champion Lando Norris put his upgraded McLaren on pole position for the 19-lap sprint race - the first non-Mercedes car to do so this season.

Norris was 0.222 seconds quicker than title leader Kimi Antonelli, with his team-mate Oscar Piastri finishing third.

Teenager Antonelli is nine points clear of Mercedes team-mate George Russell at the top of the drivers' championship thanks to his back-to-back wins in China and Japan.

Saturday's sprint starts at 17:00 BST while lights out for Sunday's 57-lap grand prix is at 21:00.

Commentary of the race will be available across BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app.

You can also listen by asking most smart speakers to "play BBC Radio 5 Live" or "play BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra".

Make sure to listen to every episode of the Chequered Flag podcast. For the first time this year, the post-race show for every grand prix is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and YouTube.

The forecast says there could be rain on race day in Miami.

Saturday's sprint event and main qualifying is set for dry and sunny conditions, with tempertaures as high as 34C.

Things take a turn on Sunday, however, as thundery showers are predicted all day, including the start of the grand prix at 4pm local time.

The format has one slight tweak for the 2026 campaign because of Cadillac's arrival as the 11th team on the grid.

Sprint qualifying has three sessions, where now the six slowest cars are eliminated from the first two instead of five.

These sessions, known as SQ1, SQ2 and SQ3, last 12, 10 and eight minutes respectively.

This makes up the grid for the sprint race, which is 100km.

The top eight finishers score points, from eight for first place to one for eighth spot, which will get added to the overall drivers' championship standings.

Briton Russell beat the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton at the opening sprint race in China in March.

Following Miami, the other sprint events take place in Canada, Silverstone, Zandvoort and Singapore.
