FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2022 at the Miami International Autodrome

Miami International Autodrome made its F1 debut in May 2022, the Miami International Autodrome is a temporary circuit, but one designed to have a permanent feel.

Set in the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens, home to the NFL’s famous Miami Dolphins franchise, the track is the culmination of a development process that simulated no less than 36 different layouts before settling on a thrilling 19-turn lap that provides a street circuit vibe, not dissimilar to Melbourne’s Albert Park.

For 2023 the entire track has been resurfaced in an attempt to combat bumps and surface variance that may have limited passing in 2022, and the drivers flagged as a safety concern. A new surface brings unique challenges where there are residue oils and low grip. The racing line will improve throughout the weekend as the track rubbers in. However, there will be a significant lack of grip off the race line.
