Overview
- Organizers moved the Miami Grand Prix to 1:00 p.m. local time on Sunday after forecasts showed heavy thunderstorms and possible lightning that could trigger mandatory stoppages.
- The FIA disqualified Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar from qualifying when post-session checks found both floor boards protruded 2 millimetres beyond the allowed reference volume.
- After Red Bull replaced Hadjar’s energy store and control electronics under parc fermé, the FIA ordered a pit-lane start under Article B3.5.3, and the team later apologized for the error.
- Kimi Antonelli remains on pole with Max Verstappen on the front row, setting up a mixed-order grid after a five-week break that saw major car upgrades across teams.
- Technical enforcement and reliability defined the weekend as Audi’s Nico Hülkenberg missed the sprint following a power-unit fire and Gabriel Bortoleto lost his sprint result for engine intake pressure above the limit.
