Track Sectors
A heavy braking zone at Turn 1 into a stop-start complex through Turns 2–6 — mostly 90-degree geometry and low grip.
Long run down to the chicane under the causeway followed by the fastest section of the lap around the stadium.
Tight, technical Turns 13–16 where lap time is lost — traction onto the back straight sets up the main overtaking zone.
About Miami
The Miami International Autodrome is a temporary circuit built around the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. It's an uncommon hybrid — not truly a street circuit, but not permanent either — assembled from concrete barriers, temporary pit boxes and grandstands erected specifically for the race weekend. The surface combines brand-new tarmac with older car-park asphalt, which has historically produced low initial grip and heavy tyre graining.
The layout is a mix of low-speed 90-degree corners and high-speed sections, with overtaking largely concentrated at Turn 17 into Turn 1 using the long DRS zone. Infield sightlines are built around the stadium, and the paddock, marina and hospitality are a deliberate spectacle alongside the racing.

Circuit History
Miami joined the calendar in 2022 after years of discussion about a Florida venue. The first race was won by Max Verstappen from pole; since then the track has hosted both sprint and grand prix events. Kerb profiles and surface work have been revised multiple times in response to driver complaints about graining and bumps.
