MIAMI - Red Bull's Max Verstappen put down an early marker for a Miami Grand Prix hat-trick, posting the fastest time in the race's lone practice session on May 3, with McLaren's Oscar Piastri second on the timesheets.

Verstappen, who has won both the races staged on the circuit that made its F1 debut in 2022, left it until the closing minutes of the one hour session to set the fastest lap.
