Miami Grand Prix live stream: preview

With Sergio Perez cutting his lead to just six points in the drivers' championship, Max Verstappen might want to shift his focus from George Russell and get his eyes back on the prize at the Miami International Autodrome this weekend. Russell topped Practice 1 but the flying Dutchman was untouchable in Practice 2. Perez was out of the top three in both sessions. Qualifying starts at 9pm BST.

The schedule for this weekend's Miami Grand Prix is as follows: on Saturday, Final Practice is as 5.30pm BST, before Qualifying at 9pm BST. Then on Sunday, 7th May, it's lights out for the Miami Grand Price at 8.30pm BST.

Victory at Baku has given Checo genuine hope that he can take the fight to Verstappen this season. Beat him in Miami and we might just start believing it too. In order to leapfrog his Red Bull teammate in the standings, however, the Mexican will likely have to pull off something he's never managed in F1 before – stringing together back-to-back Grand Prix victories.

Verstappen was victorious at the inaugural Miami GP a year ago, overtaking Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz en route to first place, and at long last Ferrari have reason to be optimistic again. Leclerc secured their first podium of the season last weekend, catapulting himself up the drivers' standings in the process. It came at the expense of Fernando Alonso, who will be doubly determined to make up ground after enduring a nightmare here a year ago.

Another team on the up are McLaren, whose upgrades seemed to have the desired effect last weekend. Alfa-Romeo, Alpine and Haas, meanwhile, need to bounce back after they each drew a blank in Baku. Keep scrolling to find out where to get an F1 live stream anywhere in the world for the Miami Grand Prix.

Use Express VPN to access local free F1 streams when abroad

Watch a Miami Grand Prix live stream from anywhere

Most F1 live streams are location-sensitive. So, you won't be able to access your usual service when travelling away from home. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a small but powerful app that lets you select your preferred location and quickly unblock any F1 live stream – including free streams.

ExpressVPN is our pick of the best VPN services. It's affordable, fast and easy to use. Try it risk-free for 30 days and see for yourself.

How to use a VPN for any Miami GP live stream

1. Sign up to the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.

2. Open the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the F1, you may wish to choose Austria for ORF.

3. Then head over to ORF on your browser or device and enjoy the free F1 live stream of every Miami track session.  

You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24-hour assistance. Both performed very well in our tests.
