F1 Signs Record Miami GP Contract Through 2041

Formula One has signed a record 10-year contract extension with the Miami Grand Prix, securing the event at the Hard Rock Stadium through 2041, the longest race deal in F1 history. Since its debut in 2022, the Miami Grand Prix has attracted over 275,000 fans in 2023 and set a U.S. television viewership record with 3.1 million watching Lando Norris win in 2024. The extension is part of F1’s strategic push to expand in the American market alongside races in Austin and Las Vegas. While the Miami event is praised for its atmosphere, some drivers have criticized the circuit layout. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali highlighted the extension as a milestone in deepening ties with U.S. fans. The new deal surpasses previous long-term contracts such as those for Australia and Bahrain, underlining Miami’s importance to F1’s future in the United States.
