When is the F1 race in Miami this weekend? Exploring timings, schedule, how to watch and more 

F1 is set to land in Miami, the magic city, for the fifth round of the 2023 Formula 1 world championship. This will be the second time that cars will lap around the Hard Rock stadium in Florida. With the success of the first Grand Prix here in 2022, there is a lot of hype around the second installment.

The race weekend will be a standard one with 2 Free Practice sessions on Friday, a third one with qualifying on Saturday, and the main race on Sunday. The race will be watched by thousands of spectators on track, and for those who cannot make it to Miami.

Having said that, here are the official timings of the race for different regions around the world!

The Miami Grand Prix is expected to be yet another close competition between the championship contenders, however, it is interesting to note that it is both the Red Bull drivers who are on the top of the table.

Sergio Perez is only six points behind his teammate, and if he manages to win the race here, he would be on top of the table. His classic driving style suits the streets (hence his nickname, the King of the Streets), and the long straights on the track are in favour of the RB19's aero.

Heading into the race weekend, Ferrari have shown signs of improvement and were the second fastest after Red Bull in Baku.
