The Miami International Autodrome, located at the Hard Rock Stadium – home of the Miami Dolphins – is set to host its first-ever Formula 1 race next weekend as the sport introduces a second round in the United States.
The circuit is a bespoke build utilising the land around the stadium, with the construction of the track taking place over the course of 12 months starting in May 2021.
Recently, an update from the race organisers confirmed that the venue is almost fully ready.
