The track, which debuted in 2022, features three DRS zones and has seen memorable victories, including those of Max Verstappen in 2022 and 2023, and Lando Norris in 2024.

McLaren's Australian driver Oscar Piastri arrives in Miami as the championship leader with 99 points, after winning in China, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. His performance has been outstanding, even surpassing his teammate Lando Norris , who has 89 points. Max Verstappen , four-time world champion and the most successful driver in Miami, is in third place with 87 points. The competition between these three drivers promises to be intense, especially on a circuit where Verstappen has demonstrated his dominance in the past.

In addition to the on-track action, Miami becomes an entertainment epicenter during Grand Prix weekend . Events like the Racing Fan Fest in Wynwood and parties hosted by brands like McLaren and Jack Daniel's offer fans unique experiences that combine music, simulators, and historic car displays.
