History of the F1 Miami GP

A street-track spectacular. With the Hard Rock Stadium at its epicentre, the 5.41km layout features 19 corners, three straights, potential for three DRS zones, and an estimated top speed of 320km/h.

There are elevation changes, too. The main one is found between Turns 13 and 16, with the track heading over an exit ramp and under various flyovers across uneven ground. The Turn 14-15 chicane, meanwhile, has an uphill approach, with a crest in the middle, and then drops down on exit.

After much anticipation, the circuit made its first appearance on the F1 calendar in May 2022.

The 2023 Miami Grand Prix

The second edition of the Miami Grand Prix turned into a masterclass by Max Verstappen. Starting from the midfield, he drove a splendid comeback race and ultimately secured the victory. His teammate, Sergio Perez, and Fernando Alonso finished behind him. The Miami Grand Prix delivered a lot of excitement due to the exceptionally long straight sections with DRS, enhancing overtaking maneuvers
