Formula 1 Coming to Miami in May
In May of this year, Miami will be added to the list (which currently only has one other location in Austin, TX) of places that host the United States Grand Prix from Formula 1. This is big news for Miami and is sure to generate lots of excitement with its arrival.
The Miami Grand Prix is the first of a 10-year contract. The race will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, north of downtown. Yep – that’s the same place the Miami Dolphins play!
Miami’s Formula 1 race will take place on May 8 – five months before Austin’s event in October.
Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes notes of the addition, “It’s such a huge country; having just one race here isn’t enough to really be able to tap into the sporting culture and really encapsulate the fans…to get them on the journey with us I think definitely we need to have at least two. Miami is going to be incredible.”
Fernando Alonso from Alpine, a Formula 1 team, based in Enstone, United Kingdom, says of Miami, ‘There was a lot of interest from the local journalists and the people…they are really willing to host the race and make that weekend very special for the whole community. I felt a very strong vibe there.”
Tickets are on sale now for the race and are anticipated to sell out.
