Formula 1 Secures Miami Grand Prix Until 2041

Formula 1 has announced a 10-year extension for the Miami Grand Prix, securing the event on the F1 calendar through 2041 and making it the longest contracted race in the series. The agreement, reached with South Florida Motorsports, highlights Miami's rapid rise as a major F1 event since its 2022 debut, drawing record-breaking crowds and significant economic impact. F1 President Stefano Domenicali described the extension as a strategic milestone that strengthens the sport's presence and growing fan base in the United States. The Miami International Autodrome, built around Hard Rock Stadium, has hosted increasingly successful races, with last year's event attracting 275,000 fans and a record 3.1 million U.S. television viewers. Community partnerships and enhancements to the fan experience have improved relations with local residents who were initially opposed to the race. The move solidifies Miami's status alongside Austin and Las Vegas as a cornerstone of F1's American expansion.
