The inside story of F1's newest race track

After several years of planning and preparation, and with hype levels at an all-time high, the inaugural Miami Grand Prix is finally set to take place this weekend. But to get to this point has been a journey of ups and downs

Formula 1’s inaugural Miami race this weekend is arguably the most eagerly anticipated event on the 2022 world championship schedule, representing the first time that two grands prix will be held in the United States in the same year since Dallas and Detroit were on the calendar almost 40 years ago.

The all-new Miami International Autodrome is situated 13 miles north from one of America’s most vibrant cities, and in this Drive to Survive era it’s a much anticipated event by Miamians. Tickets quickly sold out – the cheapest grandstand seat on race day was priced at over $600, but they’re now north of at least twice that.
