WEEKEND WARM-UP: Piastri the favourite but Norris looking to bounce back as F1 lands in the US for the first time this year
The F1 circus has crossed the pond and pitched up at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami ahead of the sixth race weekend of the season.
It was the scene of Lando Norris' first race win 12 months ago, but the McLaren man will have to overcome his in-form team mate Oscar Piastri if he is to repeat that special victory this time around.
But an intra-team battle is not all that McLaren are facing, with this the second Sprint weekend of the season. That adds in plenty of variables, especially given that temperatures are set to be scorching.
Whether Ferrari, Mercedes or Red Bull can challenge the papaya squad remains to be seen, but there is every chance of some interesting results – and some epic on-track battles.
Hit go on the video player above to join Laura Winter, Ruth Buscombe Divey and Lawrence Barretto for all of those talking points and much more.
