Oscar Piastri heads the first and only practice session at Formula 1's Miami Grand Prix, which was brought to an early end by Oliver Bearman

The Dutchman goes faster than Sainz by just over a tenth of a second. Leclerc then goes faster than Verstappen before Piastri takes the top spot with three purple sectors. It is a 1:27.128 for the Australian, over three tenths clear of Leclerc.

The 2024 Miami Grand Prix started something special for McLaren. The team brought a big upgrade package for the MCL38, and it paid immediate dividends as Lando Norris secured his first Grand Prix victory on that Sunday last May.
