Formula 1 will hold a second successive Sprint Race weekend as Miami gears up to host the stars for the sixth event of the season.

The state of Florida sees many of the rich and famous in attendance for the first of three Grand Prix to be held in the United States.

Max Verstappen won the event in front of the likes of Tom Cruise and Shakira last year and will look to continue his fast start to 2024 here.

The reigning three-time world champion dominated in China last time out to claim his fourth victory from the opening five races.

And he's in a good place to do so, starting on pole again.

Miami Grand Prix: What has been said?

Despite winning Sprint pole in Shanghai, Lando Norris claimed he is not too fussed with the format as a whole.

"I still prefer a normal race weekend, in my opinion," he declared. "If it's good to watch, if it's good for you guys, then that's why we do it.

"I get it: it sells better and better numbers on TV. But it's also more stress on the mechanics and everything," Norris added. "You have to deal with it but let's not think we now need 12 of those because it will take its toll on people.

"It's [not] too bad for us as drivers. I don't think we can be the ones to complain at all.

"It's the hundreds of mechanics and engineers that have to travel so much. It's not healthy for them, it's not sustainable.
