Oscar Piastri topped the sole practice session at the Miami Grand Prix as Oliver Bearman’s crash prevented much of the field from completing their preparations for Sprint Qualifying later on Friday.
With the drivers having just 60 minutes to prepare for the rest of the weekend, the soft-tyre qualifying simulations had been left to the final 10 minutes of the session, during which Bearman spun his Haas into the barriers at Turn 12 to trigger a session-ending red flag.
World championship leader Piastri was among the drivers who did complete a flying lap, which put him three tenths of a second clear of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in second, with Max Verstappen a further tenth back in third for Red Bull.
Lando Norris, Piastri’s McLaren team-mate and nearest championship challenger, was only 12th, having been in the final sector of his first attempt at a flying lap when the red flag was thrown.
Watch the bizarre moment a mechanic left a torch in Lando Norris’ cockpit after he set off to begin practice one at the Miami Grand Prix.
Norris had trailed by more than three tenths after the first sector but almost halved that deficit in the second sector, leaving uncertainty over what the ultimate margin between the McLarens would have been.
Williams duo Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon were fourth and fifth, respectively, having been one of the first teams to send their cars out on soft tyres.
Lewis Hamilton was another to miss out on the opportunity to complete a flying lap, with the seven-time world champion finishing 13th.
Lando Norris had to dodge around Esteban Ocon in a close call during practice one at the Miami Grand Prix.
Hamilton’s early-season struggles had shown little sign of abating during medium-tyre running earlier in the session, after which he was eighth.
Mercedes’ George Russell had set the fastest time on the medium compound and finished seventh on the timesheet despite not completing a lap on the softs.

Mike Tirico abruptly steps away from NBC’s Kentucky Derby broadcast after feeling ‘under the weather’
One of NBC Sports' signature broadcasts was missing one of the network's signature voices at the Kentucky Derby, as Mike Tirico stepped away from the booth on Saturday.The veteran host was feeling "under the weather" during the festivities at Churchill Downs and was replaced mid-broadcast by Ahmed Fareed, who didn't rule out his counterpart making a return.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement"Mike, as you may have heard, feeling a little under the weather right now, so I'm going to step in, take over for a bit.

Galvão Bueno sinaliza time “enjoado” com defesa sólida no Brasileirão: “É ótimo”
Galvão Bueno, em programa da Band (Reprodução) Galvão Bueno, antes da bola rolar em Corinthians x Internacional, enalteceu o nível alcançado pelo Colorado na defesa. Apesar da ausência de Rochet, machucado, o time gaúcho segue com uma forte solidez, algo capaz de garantir uma presença fixa na disputa pela liderança do Brasileirão. Neste cenário, o desempenho no Maracanã, contra o Flamengo, serviu para o locutor ressaltar o ponto de vista. “O Internacional tá com problema no ataque, mas é um visitante enjoado em 2025.”, iniciou Galvão Bueno, em transmissão do Prime Video.
