The Formula 1 calendar gained a second American race with the Miami Grand Prix. Now, three F1 races are held in the United States, with the other locations in Austin and Las Vegas. The organizers of the circuit in Miami signed a ten-year contract with the motorsport series, ensuring that the city will host the race weekend for the foreseeable future.

The Miami International Autodrome, as the street circuit is called, is 5.410 kilometers long and features 19 corners. Stephen Ross had been trying for years to bring Formula 1 to the city and finally succeeded after some delays.

The race weekend is held around the Hard Rock Stadium, of which Ross is the owner. A few weeks before the GP, the venue is fully prepared for Formula 1, and after the weekend, everything is dismantled again.

On Thursday May 1, press conferences are scheduled ahead of the GP weekend. The practice session and sprint qualifying take place on Friday May 2, proceeded by the sprint race and Grand Prix Qualifying on Saturday. The Grand Prix will get underway on Sunday, May 4.

The Miami GP can be followed live on GPblog an hour before each session. As with all other Grands Prix, the race will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and F1TV Pro, as well as the sprint race, qualifying and free practice sessions.

Sky Sports will also provide pre- and post-race coverage of qualifying and the Grand Prix.

The sixth round of the 2024 F1 season took place in Miami. Lando Norris won his first-ever Grand Prix in the pinnacle of motorsport that weekend after 110 race starts. 

Max Verstappen departed from pole position, and held the lead of the start. Norris profited of a Safety Car, however, and took the lead after his pit stop. After the restart he held Verstappen’s attacks at bay and ultimately pulled away. Lando Norris won ahead of Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc.

Hamilton partook in all three Miami Grands Prix, and finished in sixth place in each of them. Since the new regulations that were introduced in 2022, his Mercedes team has not been able to fight at the forefront of the field consistently. Will Ferrari improve his chances of success around this young F1 track?
