F1 2024 Season

Welcome to Miami

Miami is considered the party capital in the F1 calendar, as Will Smith says: “party in the city where the heat is on”. 

Miami is a 57 lap race around the Miami International Autodrome, set in the Hard Rock Stadium. Home to the Miami Dolphins as well as two Super Bowls, Miami brings a vibrant, party atmosphere.

Despite the fake marina, the paddock is equipped with a real swimming pool, giving a high quality race watching experience.

The 19 turn track spans a distance of 5.412km. The lap record is currently held by (you guessed it!) Max Verstappen from the 2023 race, with a time of 1:29.708.

Ferrari will be releasing a brand new, limited edition Miami livery. They recently announced HP as their title sponsor and the livery is expected to be light blue to match the HP logo. Sporting the light blue colour would also match the Miami Dolphins. Various artists have released concept art for what they believe the livery may look like, the below picture is just one example of what we could be seeing in Miami from the Prancing Horses.
