The circuit will be 5.41km, 19 corners and offer three straights for three potential DRS zones. F1 estimates the top speed on the circuit will be 320km/h and will have multiple overtaking opportunities and exciting racing.
The famous Hard Rock Stadium – a multi-purpose sports and entertainment hub which has hosted six Super Bowls, two Baseball World Series and numerous rock concerts – will sit at the heart of the track, which has been designed to encourage close and competitive racing.
The Miami Grand Prix to stay on the calendar for 10 years
F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said he expects the first race in a 10-year deal to take place in the second quarter of 2022. “We are thrilled to announce that Formula 1 will be racing in Miami beginning in 2022,” Stefano Domenicali said.
“We will be working closely with the team from Hard Rock Stadium and the FIA to ensure the circuit delivers sensational racing but also leaves a positive and lasting contribution for the people in the local community. We are looking forward to bringing the greatest racing spectacle on the planet to Miami for the first time in our sport’s history.”
