The start of the Formula Two sprint in Miami was delayed by a few minutes when the cars were already on their way to the grid. It marked the first time that F1's support series had raced in North America, with the calendar being rescheduled following the cancellations of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix.

Proceedings were slightly slow to get underway, with Saturday's sprint being delayed by around 10 minutes. It wasn't clear why the start was pushed back, but the announcement came when the cars were making their way to the starting grid. During the Sky Sports broadcast, it flashed up that the formation lap would take place at 10.10am local time, as opposed to the scheduled 10am.

The race eventually got underway without a hitch, with Nikola Tsolov taking the chequered flag ahead of Laurens Van Hoepen and Alex Dunne in a thrilling three-way battle.
