Formula 1 takes over Hard Rock Stadium on Thursday for the Miami Grand Prix weekend.Here's your cheat sheet for following the action on the track. How it works: 22 drivers from 11 teams will race around the stadium, hitting speeds of nearly 200 mph.The main race is Sunday afternoon ( 📺 4pm on Apple TV), but the drivers will compete in a shorter Sprint race Saturday.You can also watch F1 practice and qualifying sessions on Friday and Saturday.The Grand Prix coincides with on-track action from Formula 2 and the all-female F1 Academy.Full race weekend scheduleKimi Antonelli won Sprint qualifying in Miami last year. Now he's the driver to beat.

Max Verstappen, the four-time Red Bull champion whose currently ninth in the standings, has been the biggest critic.Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time champion who's currently fourth, says the regulations have produced better racing.McLaren driver Oscar Piastri waves to fans during the "McLaren Racing Live: Miami Showrun" event in Coconut Grove on Wednesday.

Teams are going to turn up with dramatically changed and hopefully improved cars," Sky F1's Martin Brundle said this week.Where to watch: There are a ton of F1 watch parties happening this weekend, from Wynwood to Coconut Grove and South Beach.If you go: It's going to be expensive, especially this close to the race. Friday single-day grandstand tickets are usually the best value with the addition of the sprint race qualifying, but tickets were starting around $162 on Thursday, compared to the $84 I got them for in March. By comparison, the cheapest tickets for Saturday and Sunday were starting at $691 and $883, respectively.Getting there: Pricey paid parking is available, but I always opt for ridesharing and/or the free shuttles.
