Luxury and opulence: that’s what the Miami GP is all about. While the race weekend in Houston, Texas is more of a motorsport event for the average American, the sprint weekend in Florida is a luxury gathering for the international jet set. The circuit is known for its challenging layout with 19 corners and a length of 5,412 kilometers. Also striking is the constructed fake marina, which creates a unique atmosphere during the race weekend. This year, a real superyacht grandstand will also be added.

The Miami Grand Prix also features the sprint format, with sprint qualifying taking place on Friday and the sprint race on Saturday. During the first editions, Max Verstappen dominated in Miami, with victories in 2022 and 2023. After that, McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri each managed to win the race once. In the coming years, many new winners will be added. Miami signed a new monster contract last year, keeping the coastal city on the calendar until 2041.
