Formula 1 Miami GP 2026: TV times and full Sunday programme

Everything is ready for the race: Miami closes the weekend with the Grand Prix

After a Sprint Race that has already reshaped the balance of the weekend, the 2026 Miami Grand Prix is set for its most eagerly awaited moment. Sunday in the US represents the definitive test to understand whether the dominance shown by Lando Norris and McLaren can also be converted over the full race distance.

The Miami International Autodrome street circuit, technical and selective, will test strategy, tyre management and reliability. Florida’s ever-changing weather conditions add another element of uncertainty.

The race topics: McLaren ahead, Ferrari and Mercedes chasing

The Sprint left clear but not definitive indications. Oscar Piastri confirmed McLaren’s solidity with a second place that strengthens the team’s positive momentum, while Charles Leclerc showed that Ferrari can stay in touch, even if it still does not have the pace to attack.

The situation is more complex for Mercedes, with Kimi Antonelli asked to defend the world championship lead after a difficult Sprint. Managing the start and the opening phases of the race will be crucial.

Also keep an eye on Max Verstappen, always ready to join the fight, and Lewis Hamilton, who will try to exploit every strategic opportunity.

Strategy and unknowns: what to expect from the GP

The Miami race promises to be open on several fronts. Tyre degradation, already evident in the Sprint, could play a decisive role in one-stop or two-stop strategies. In addition, the Safety Car is always a real variable on a street circuit like the one in Florida.

McLaren start as favourites, but the race distance could reshuffle the deck. Ferrari will try to capitalise on every opportunity, while Mercedes will have to respond with an aggressive strategy to stay in contention.

The Miami Grand Prix therefore represents a key moment in the 2026 season: a race that can confirm new hierarchies or completely reopen the fight at the top. The verdict, as always, will only come under the chequered flag.
