It’s time to party in the city where the heat is on, as the Miami International Autodrome prepares to host its fifth World Championship Grand Prix.
Nestled within the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens, Florida, this circuit brings the spectacle of F1 racing to the heart of one of America's most iconic cities with a fast-paced layout that snakes around the stadium and, yes, a fake marina.
It's an instantly recognisable setting that matches the glitz and glamour of Miami, adding a distinctive flavour to the calendar, and combining top-tier motorsport with entertainment and luxury.
Circuit Overview:
Spanning 5.412 km (3.363 miles) with 19 turns, the Miami International Autodrome features a combination of long straights and tight corners, including the opening Sector 1 sequence around the stadium that brings a wholly new backdrop to the sport.
Sector 2 is a high-speed blast down a DRS straight, with overtaking possible into a technical complex of relentless corners and a tricky chicane before shooting the drivers into the final third.
A 1.2 km arrow-straight run into Turn 17 gives a great chance to pick up a tow from the car in front, and a hairpin left with a short run to the finish line concludes this like-no-other tour of Miami.
