Two weeks on from Max Verstappen's fourth win of the season in China, the Formula One season returns with the glitz and glamour of the Miami Grand Prix.

Fans, including plenty of rich and famous faces, have already enjoyed the second sprint race of the year over the course of this weekend.

As is generally the way in F1 nowadays, Verstappen won last season's race and is chasing a hat-trick of triumphs since the world championship arrived in Miami in 2022.

The Dutchman already has a 25-point lead over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez at the top of the standings, with Carlos Sainz Jr's triumph for Ferrari in Australia the only blemish on Verstappen's 2024 record so far.

When is the next F1 race after the Miami Grand Prix?

After wowing the crowds in Florida, Formula One returns to its spiritual home of Europe for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola. This year will be a particularly poignant occasion as it is the 30th anniversary of F1 great Ayrton Senna suffering a fatal crash at the Italian circuit.

Taking place on Sunday, May 17, 2024, this will be the fourth edition of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix since Imola returned to the F1 calendar amid the pandemic-effected 2020 season. Last year's race was cancelled due to flooding from the Santerno River that compromised the circuit.

Prior to that, Imola hosted the San Marino Grand Prix between 1981 and 2006, having been the home to the Italian Grand Prix in 1980. Michael Schumacher holds the all-time record for wins at the circuit with seven. Verstappen will be chasing his third.
