As the Formula 1 circus prepares to descend upon the sun-drenched shores of Florida, the 2024 F1 Miami Grand Prix promises to deliver an unforgettable weekend of racing. Set against the glamorous backdrop of Miami, this event is scheduled to unfold over 57 thrilling laps of the Miami International Autodrome on Sunday, May 5th. In an exciting twist, the weekend’s proceedings will be based on the increasingly popular Sprint format, adding an extra layer of strategy and excitement to what is already one of the most anticipated stops on the Formula 1 calendar.

Since its inaugural race in 2022, the Miami Grand Prix has added a vibrant new chapter to the Formula 1 saga, marking the first time since 1984 that the United States has hosted two Formula 1 races in a single season. Over the two editions held so far, Max Verstappen has emerged as the undisputed champion of the Miami International Autodrome, clinching victories in both events. These triumphs not only underscore Red Bull Racing’s dominance at this circuit but also highlight the Netherlands’ leading position in terms of national wins at the venue. Verstappen’s back-to-back wins also set a record for consecutive victories at the Miami Grand Prix.

Red Bull Racing achieved a historic milestone at the 2023 Miami Grand Prix, securing the track’s first 1-2 finish with Sergio Perez crossing the line right behind Verstappen.

The margins of victory in Miami have been notably narrow, with the closest finish recorded at 3.786 seconds in 2022 and the widest gap being 5.384 seconds in 2023, averaging out to a winning margin of 4.585 seconds across the two races. The podium has seen five different drivers in the Grand Prix’s short history, showcasing the competitive nature of the event.

Unique to the Miami International Autodrome is its variety in pole position winners, with each race featuring a different driver leading the pack off the line. Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez have each secured pole position once, creating a tie between Ferrari and Red Bull Racing for the most poles in Miami. Consequently, Monaco and Mexico share the distinction of having the most poles by nationality at this circuit.

Ferrari etched its name into the Miami Grand Prix history books during the inaugural race by becoming the first team to lock out the front row, showcasing their competitive edge and strategic prowess on this challenging track.
