Celebrity star power could be centre stage when F1 returns from an enforced break at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix
After a five-week hiatus, F1 is back in action at the Miami Grand Prix following the cancellations of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix due to conflict in the Middle East. Teams have used this break for early-season reset and have been producing upgrade packages, with drivers taking the chance to recharge before a busy summer schedule. Mercedes’ dominance will be tested by rivals Ferrari and McLaren at the Miami International Autodrome. The spotlight is on celebrity interest, with Kim Kardashian expected to make her first garage appearance of the season alongside seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton. The F1 schedule for the race weekend includes a change, with Free Practice 1 extended to 90 minutes. The Miami Grand Prix will be broadcast on Apple TV in the US and on Sky Sports F1 in the UK, continuing a $750 million deal with Apple TV replacing ESPN.
