Five Things to Know About the 2025 Miami GP

We’re back Stateside for the fourth edition of the Miami Grand Prix.

Set against the backdrop of the Hard Rock Stadium, the 5.412km circuit features 19 corners and three DRS Zones all make up one of the most vibrant spectacles on the Formula 1 calendar.

Here are five things to watch for as we return to the 305.

Miami might be a relatively recent addition to the calendar, but it's a modern venue where we've already scored points.

Alex Albon delivered a standout P9 finish at the inaugural event in 2022, and with both him and Carlos Sainz in strong form heading into this weekend, there’s every reason to believe we can add to that tally.

Miami hosts the second Sprint weekend of the 2025 season, following the opener in China.

The 100km dash once again offers a crucial extra opportunity to score. We’re still chasing only our second-ever Sprint points finish, with the last coming in Qatar 2023, something we’re pushing to add to this season.

Our Williams Racing Academy driver Lia Block will be racing on home soil once more as the F1 Academy returns for Round 3 of its 2025 campaign.

Lia, competing with ART Grand Prix, will be in action across the weekend with two Practice sessions on Friday, Qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday, and Race 2 wrapping things up on Sunday.

It’s one of two home races in 2025 for our 18-year-old racer, with the F1 Academy finale taking place in Las Vegas.

Few venues in global sport match the versatility of Hard Rock Stadium, and Formula 1 is just one of many world-class events to call it home.

From Super Bowls and college football to tennis’ Miami Open and global music tours, the stadium has seen it all – it’s even slated to host seven matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But during the Miami Grand Prix, it transforms in a way unlike any other event, with the F1 paddock uniquely located inside the stadium bowl itself.

Following a fantastic first stop in Melbourne at Round 1, the Atlassian Williams Racing Fan Zone World Tour makes its second stop of the season right here in Miami.

Located at 430 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, the Fan Zone is free to enter and features everything from the FW47 show car and sim racing setups to live Q&As, exclusive merchandise and giveaways, presented by Kraken.

Make sure to swing by during the week to soak up the atmosphere and get closer to the team.
