2025 F1 Miami Grand Prix - Sprint Qualifying - As it happened

We're building up to sprint qualifying in Miami which gets underway in just over 20 minutes' time.

Due to the late red flag, a number of drivers were unable to get their best laps in at the end. Norris and Hamilton.

Piastri on top of the timesheets ahead of Leclerc, Verstappen, Sainz, Albon, Hadjar, Russell, Tsunoda, Antonelli and Alonso.

Bearman has crashed his Haas in the final sector. It's unlikely the session will restart with four minutes on the clock.

Piastri lowers the benchmark, moving ahead of Leclerc, who had just gone fastest.

0.3s gap between Piastri and Leclerc.

Verstappen pips Sainz by over a tenth to take top spot in FP1. 

Albon makes it a Williams 1-2 now, Sainz 0.2s ahead of his teammate.

Sainz goes 0.3s ahead of Russell to take top spot for Williams. Impressive lap. 

Hulkenberg finds over one-second on the softs to move into ninth. 

Hulkenberg hits the track in the Sauber on the red-marked soft tyre. 

Russell, Antonelli, Sainz, Piastri, Norris, Leclerc, Albon, Hamilton, Verstappen and Hadjar is the top 10.

It's only eighth for Hamilton in the Ferrari, 0.498s down on Russell.

Norris nearly runs into the back of Ocon down the back straight. Anthony Davidson has described it as "inexcusable". 

A very impressive start from Mercedes. Typically, they've struggled in warmer conditions. So, very positive signs for them so far. 

Russell, Antonelli, Sainz, Norris, Albon, Verstappen, Hadjar, Piastri, Hamilton and Leclerc. 

Hadjar moves up to fifth in the RB, 0.6s down on Russell.

They will investigate Norris leaving the pit lane in an unsafe condition (flashlight in the car) after the session.

Norris, Russell, Verstappen, Piastri, Albon, Leclerc, Antonelli, Ocon, Hamilton and Tsunoda. 

A 1m29.615s for the Ferrari driver, 0.045s ahead of Piastri.

A 1m29.808s for Verstappen, 0.2s ahead of Piastri.

Norris has to return to the pit lane after he found a torch in his cockpit. Bizarre. 

19 of the 20 drivers are out on track in FP1. Just Russell is still in the pit lane.

Piastri is the first driver to hit the track. 

As a reminder, it's a sprint weekend so there's just 60 minutes of practice ahead of sprint qualifying. 

Yes... 2041.
