After an unexpected five-week hiatus due to the cancelations of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, Formula 1 is scheduled to get back into action with the 2026 season's fourth race, the Miami Grand Prix at Miami International Autodrome.
Despite the tight nature of the 19-turn, 3.363-mile (5.412-kilometer) temporary street circuit in Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida, no Miami Grand Prix winner has come from the front row since the Miami Grand Prix was added to the calendar in 2022.
The average starting position for the eventual race winner has been an uncharacteristically low 5.25.
Additionally, no Miami sprint race winner has gone on to win the Grand Prix in the same year, although the Miami sprint race was only added to the calendar in 2024. McLaren's Lando Norris took pole for Saturday's 19-lap sprint race, and he won from pole.
Who will take pole for Sunday's 57-lap race, and how much will it matter come race day?
