For the first time ever, F1 goes racing in Miami as the top-tier open-wheeled racing circuit's United States expansion continues, with the 2022 Miami Grand Prix airing on Sunday, May 8, live from beautiful, sunny Miami, Fla.
While Miami is a new backdrop for F1 drivers, the field is no stranger to North America: Formula 1 drivers have regularly raced in Austin, Texas, while also holding GPs in both Mexico and Canada. But the Miami GP signals further expansion in the U.S., with a third states-based grand prix coming to Las Vegas in 2023, and they plan to come back to South Beach for the next nine years, as well.
Making its F1 debut in May 2022, the Miami International Autodrome is a temporary circuit, but one designed to have a permanent feel.
Set in the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens, home to the NFL's famous Miami Dolphins franchise, the track is the culmination of a development process that simulated no less than 36 different layouts before settling on a thrilling, 19-turn lap that provides a street circuit vibe, not dissimilar to Melbourne's Albert Park.
