About the Miami Grand Prix
The Miami Grand Prix is one of Formula 1’s newest marquee events and is held at the Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Florida. First added to the world championship calendar in 2022, the race quickly established itself as one of the sport’s standout North American stops, combining the glamour of Miami with a modern circuit built around the Hard Rock Stadium complex. The temporary track was designed to feel more like a permanent venue, with a layout that blends long straights, heavy braking zones, and technical slower sections, creating a demanding test for both drivers and engineers.
Set in the heart of the Hard Rock Stadium campus, the Miami Grand Prix has grown into one of Formula 1’s most high profile events, attracting huge crowds and delivering a vibrant off track atmosphere alongside the racing. The circuit’s broad layout and multiple overtaking zones help create plenty of wheel to wheel action, while the hot and humid Florida conditions add another challenge for teams trying to manage tyres and cooling. As one of several US races on the calendar, Miami has quickly become a key part of Formula 1’s modern expansion in North America.

Miami International Autodrome
The Miami International Autodrome is one of Formula 1’s newest venues, hosting the Miami Grand Prix since 2022. Built around the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens, the circuit is a temporary track that was designed to feel like a permanent facility, giving it a distinct character compared to many street style venues. After evaluating dozens of possible layouts, organisers settled on a 19 corner configuration that blends long straights, quick direction changes, and technical slower sections, creating a modern challenge that rewards confidence under braking and strong straight line performance.
The circuit measures 5.412 km and features 19 corners, with three straights and several major overtaking opportunities. Drivers face a varied lap that includes high speed sections, a tight and twisting middle sector, and one of the most important braking zones on the calendar at the end of the long back straight. The warm Florida climate, combined with the stop start nature of the track, adds an extra layer of difficulty for tyre management and cooling, while the wide layout helps generate close racing and multiple strategic options across the weekend.
