The Formula 1 is back after a forced five-week break. The Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix were called off following the US-Israeli war on Iran. But the F1 returns this weekend in Miami after what's been an exciting season so far. It's also a Sprint weekend, which means more racing action than your usual race weekends.
The Miami International Autodrome, a street circuit built around the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens, USA, plays host to the race. The track has been part of the F1 calendar since 2022.
So far this season... ????????
