Après un week-end de sprint chaotique, Audi a rencontré de nouveaux problèmes techniques et liés au groupe motopropulseur lors du Grand Prix de Miami, affectant une fois de plus ses deux pilotes.

Nico Hulkenberg a manqué la course sprint suite à une défaillance du groupe motopropulseur et un incendie en se rendant sur la grille de départ, puis a abandonné le Grand Prix après sept tours en raison d'une surchauffe de la transmission après une collision. Gabriel Bortoleto a été disqualifié de la course sprint pour avoir dépassé la limite de pression d'admission d'air du moteur, mais il a réussi à terminer 12e de la course malgré des problèmes de freinage survenus plus tôt. Ces incidents successifs soulignent les défis de fiabilité constants auxquels fait face l'écurie motorisée par Audi.
