The Miami Grand Prix is a planned Formula One Grand Prix due to form part of the 2022 Formula One World Championship, with the event taking place at the Miami International Autodrome on a ten-year contract.

History[]

In 2018, a proposal for the Miami Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship was submitted to the city of Miami, with 2019 proposed as the first date for the race.[1] After complications arose due to PortMiami’s construction and development plans, a proposal was submitted for a 2021 race at Hard Rock Stadium.[2] The track then moved locations from the downtown area to the area near Hard Rock Stadium and its nearby parking lots. The race did not make it to the 2021 calendar, as Formula One opted for a race at a street circuit in Jeddah for the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.[original research?] The event is due to form a part of the 2022 Formula One World Championship, with the race taking place at the Miami International Autodrome on a ten-year contract.[3][4][5] The Grand Prix is due to take place on May 8.[6]

The circuit was specifically designed for the event, with several potential track designs proposed and tested.[7] The owner of the stadium, Stephen Ross, had been trying to bring about the Miami Grand Prix for several years before being successful.[8]
