What is the F1 Sprint weekend format?
Miami marks the second of 24 rounds of the 2025 Formula 1 world championship that will be contested under the Sprint weekend format, which differs from the traditional three practice/qualifying/grand prix schedule.

Following a single practice session early on Friday, teams will have an abbreviated 44-minute three-round knockout qualifying session similar to the traditional 60-minute, three-round format. That will set the grid for a roughly 100-kilometer (1/3 grand prix distance) Sprint race that takes place early on Saturday. There is no mandatory pit stop to change tire compounds — tire wear isn't an issue with the shorter distance — and championship points are awarded for the top eight finishers of the sprint in descending order (eight points for the win, seven for second place, six for third, etc.).
The teams return later Saturday for the usual grand prix qualifying session that sets the grid for Sunday's main event. Miami marks the first Sprint weekend of the season with the remaining rounds consisting of Belgium (July 25-27), United States at Austin (Oct. 17-19), Sao Paulo (Nov. 7-9) and Qatar (Nov. 28-30).

Weather for the Miami Grand Prix
The Yahoo weather weekend forecast for Miami calls for temperatures in the low 80s. Clear skies on Friday for practice and Sprint qualifying, with more than a 50% chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday. If there is scattered precipitation, the high air temperatures should dry the track at least adequately enough for cars to run their intermediate or wet-weather tires should the conditions preclude teams from running slicks.

Could the Boston Celtics lose Al Horford this summer?
Could the Boston Celtics lose Al Horford this summer? Al Horford is heading into unrestricted free agency. The veteran big man played a key role for the Boston Celtics this season, suiting up for 60 games, with 42 coming as a starter. Despite recently turning 39 years old, Horford is still a highly impactful big man, both on the court and in the locker room. However, given Horford's age and the uncertainty surrounding the Celtics' roster, there's no telling whether he will return to the franchise next season. He could choose to retire, or may even look to contend for a championship elsewhere in the league. According to ESPN's Tim Bontemps, who spoke on a June 1 episode of "The Hoop Collective" podcast, Horford would be a strong addition to the New York Knicks. During a June 2 episode of the "Taylor Talks Celtics" podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Billy Calabrese discussed Horford's future, and why it's unlikely he jumps ship to help a New York team that also fell short this season. Taylor and Calabrese all touched on the Celtics potential need for a long-term solution at the center position, and whether Horford could return for another year with the franchise.
