The return of Formula 1 is coming sooner than expected, with Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix pulled forward three hours due to a storm.
The 2026 season resumes in Florida after a five-week hiatus for, arguably, the biggest week of the year to date.
With a slender advantage over Mercedes colleague George Russell, 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli is the youngest Drivers’ Championship leader in history after consecutive wins ahead of the break in China and Japan.
Mercedes have been F1’s dominant force in the early weeks of the new campaign but the landscape could be about to shift – and that’s what makes Miami such an intriguing prospect.
Regulation changes and an extended break have allowed teams to make some much-needed changes, which could well shake things up. A Sprint weekend means extra points on offer in Florida and extra drama at the Miami International Autodrome – a track that Max Verstappen, who has cut a frustrated figure after a difficult start to the season, has found a happy hunting ground in the past.
The Miami GP feels like a pivotal moment in the 2026 campaign and is one F1 fans will not want to miss. Viewers in the UK won’t have to, with extensive coverage throughout the weekend.
Radio Times brings you a full round-up of how to watch the Miami Grand Prix 2026 on TV and live stream.
