WEEKEND WARM-UP: A Miami Sprint weekend awaits but can Ferrari take the fight to Red Bull?

F1 has headed Stateside for the first of three races in the US. Miami is the location of the first, and it is a Sprint weekend to boot, so the action will be non-stop. But can anyone take the fight to the mighty Red Bulls?

It will be the first time Red Bull take to the track following the news of Adrian Newey's departure from the team next season, but will it be Max Verstappen chalking up yet more wins – or will their progress be derailed, as it was in Australia?

Ferrari and RB both have new liveries to watch out for, there have been movements in the drivers' market since China, and then there is the big talking point of the conditions.

It's hot here – very hot – and the drivers all seem concerned with overheating and who will have the best package in these scorching conditions. Could we see a very mixed up order, especially considering there is just one hour of practice and plenty of upgrades being bolted on up and down the field?

Fortunately, joining the usual crew this weekend is former Sauber strategist Ruth Buscombe who will be bringing plenty of insight into the challenges awaiting the field this weekend.

Lawrence Barretto, Will Buxton, James Hinchcliffe, Alex Jacques and Laura Winter are joined by Buscombe as they discuss all that and more in the Miami Grand Prix Weekend Warm-Up.
