Após um caótico fim de semana de corrida sprint, a Audi enfrentou novos problemas na unidade de potência e falhas técnicas durante o Grande Prêmio de Miami, prejudicando ambos os pilotos mais uma vez.

Nico Hulkenberg perdeu a sprint após uma falha na unidade de potência e um princípio de incêndio a caminho do grid, e abandonou o grande prêmio após sete voltas devido ao superaquecimento do trem de força após uma colisão. Gabriel Bortoleto foi desclassificado da sprint por exceder o limite de pressão do ar de admissão do motor, mas se recuperou para terminar em 12º na corrida, apesar de problemas anteriores nos freios. A sequência de incidentes ressalta os desafios contínuos de confiabilidade para a equipe equipada com motores Audi.
