“Miami knows how to put on a show so it’s shaping up to be an incredible weekend”
Can y’all feel that? Can y’all feel that? Formula 1 is headed to the Magic City, and anticipation is at fever pitch for the first Miami Grand Prix.
Known for its white sandy beaches, vibrant art deco and glorious sunshine, Miami is set to become the 11th different US venue to host a Formula 1 race, although it’s unlike any of its predecessors.
The Miami International Autodrome poses all sort of difficult questions, which is often a great big signpost to an interesting race weekend. The track, which bends its way around the Hard Rock Stadium, past the cable car, through the tennis courts and quite literally heads for the highway, is very promising indeed.
It’s not a street circuit, nor a permanent venue but a hybrid of the two: a temporary permanent (yes, we know) venue, aiming to combine the best of both worlds… and we’re really excited to be going.
What the stats say
Well… this is the first Miami Grand Prix… does that count as a stat? Of course, being a brand new, straight-out-of-the-wrapper grand prix, statistics are a little thin on the ground. Fortunately, for these moments of numerical ennui, there’s an F1 crib sheet.
The track is 5.41km in length, with a predicted lap time of 1m35s at a speed of 215km/h. In real terms that puts MIA in the middle of the F1 pack – in the Bahrain/Catalunya bracket. Top speed should be around 320km/h with 58 per cent of the lap at full throttle. There are 19 corners, eight right, 11 left – though Turns Nine and 10 are more curves along a straight rather than anything more demanding.
The more… unique… stats we can throw at you are the provision of 31,000 parking spaces and 1,100 toilets. Also, that each of the 118 pit-wall barrier blocks weighs 6.5 tonnes, which is the same as the combined mass of the Miami Dolphins NFL squad.
More prosaically, this is the 11th venue in the USA to host a round of the World Championship – more than another other country – and the sixth to hold a race other than the US Grand Prix. It’s the second F1 venue in Florida, after Sebring hosted the (inaugural World Championship) US Grand Prix in 1959.
Sebring was followed by Riverside (California) in 1960, Watkins Glen (1961-1980), Phoenix (1989-1991), Indianapolis (2000-2007) and Circuit Of The Americas (2012 onwards). The other races have been held in Long Beach (US Grand Prix West, 1976-1983), Las Vegas (Caesars Palace Grand Prix, 1981-82), Detroit (1982 – 1988), and Dallas (1984).
Additionally, the Indy 500, while not a race for F1 cars, and featuring very few F1 drivers, counted as a round of the World Championship between 1950-1960… mostly to irritate anyone compiling F1 stats.
ANDREAS SEIDL
“Welcome to Miami! A new track always poses great opportunities, and the circuit looks like an exciting one. The temporary track seems to have a permanent feel, with some small undulations, fast pace and it has been designed with some good overtaking opportunities, enhanced further by these new regulation cars.
New tracks also come with some challenges, such as lack of data, so we’re looking forward to getting out there and gathering these valuable insights. Whilst we still have a long way to go, we can continue to build on the good performances of the last few races.
“It’s great to see F1 become part of the city’s vast sporting legacy. Going to places such as this can only benefit our sport, so it’s great to be able to reach even more fans and continue to grow the papaya family stateside. The team always enjoy US races with their great atmosphere and brilliant fans. Let’s go racing!”
