- On Friday, May 2, 2025, Oscar Piastri set the fastest lap during the only practice run ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, recording a time of 1:27.128 to lead the field.

- Piastri, who leads the championship and aims for a third consecutive victory, posted a lap time 0.356 seconds quicker than Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, with Max Verstappen of Red Bull, fresh from becoming a father, securing third place, 0.430 seconds off the pace.
- McLaren received a warning after leaving tools in Norris’s car cockpit, which Norris discovered during practice; officials also investigated the team for releasing his car in an unsafe condition, risking a fine.
