Revolutionizing the Racing World: Get Ready for the Miami F1 Grand Prix!
The Miami F1 Grand Prix of 2025 is causing a stir as it marks the sixth round of the F1 World Championship and the second of six Sprint events this season. The inclusion of the Miami GP in the 2022 F1 calendar added a thrilling twist, making it the second race in the US alongside Austin and the 11th different American location to host a Formula 1 championship round.
Set within the Hard Rock Stadium complex, home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, the track has undergone an extensive development process, exploring a staggering 36 different layouts before settling on the final design, reminiscent of Melbourne’s Albert Park.
What makes this circuit stand out? A spectacular street track. Spanning 5.41 km, the layout features 19 corners, three straights, three DRS zones, and top speeds exceeding 340 km/h. Not to mention elevation changes, notably between Turns 13 and 16, where the track passes over an exit ramp and under various highway viaducts on uneven terrain. The 14-15 chicane offers an uphill approach, a crest in the middle, and a downhill exit.
Having hosted six Super Bowls, two Baseball World Series, and numerous rock concerts, the Hard Rock Stadium now welcomes the pinnacle of motorsport – Formula 1.
The Miami International Autodrome is a 5.412 km circuit with 19 corners (7 right and 12 left) to be tackled over 57 laps. The track utilizes parking lots, service roads, and some public roads, incorporating elevation changes, especially between turns 13 and 16, where it passes under highway viaducts.
There are three DRS zones – at turns 1, 11, and 17 – creating prime overtaking opportunities. High speeds are a given due to DRS and slipstreaming, with drivers like Lance Stroll hitting 355 km/h during last year’s race.
In terms of schedule, the action-packed weekend unfolds as follows:
