TThe Miami Grand Prix 2025 weekend is heating up, and Saturday’s sprint race marks the first major event before Sunday’s full Grand Prix. Held at the iconic Miami International Autodrome, the sprint is a high-stakes 100km race that can shake up the championship standings.
Drivers will tackle 19 laps or a maximum of 60 minutes, with safety cars and red flags potentially affecting the duration. As part of the Miami Grand Prix 2025 sprint format, only one practice session is allowed, and up to 33 championship points are up for grabs across the weekend.
Key Championship Standings Heading into the Miami Grand Prix 2025
Oscar Piastri leads the drivers’ championship by 10 points ahead of his McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Meanwhile, McLaren is dominating the constructors’ standings with a 77-point lead over Mercedes.
If Piastri can win both the sprint and the full-length Miami Grand Prix 2025, he’ll extend his lead significantly. However, rivals like Norris and Kimi Antonelli are hoping to challenge that momentum.
Spotlight: Kimi Antonelli on Pole
Mercedes’ 18-year-old sensation, Kimi Antonelli, has secured his first career pole position for the sprint. This could mark a turning point for the Silver Arrows. Veteran Lewis Hamilton, who won the season’s first sprint in China, is also looking to regain form after several underwhelming main race results.
