The Miami Grand Prix, set to take place in the bustling metropolis of Miami, Florida, is a highly anticipated event on the Formula 1 calendar. Ahead of the third edition of the race, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has shared his thoughts on the event, praising its atmosphere while acknowledging areas for improvement.
Horner described the Miami Grand Prix as a ‘great event’, highlighting the unique ambiance that the city brings to the race weekend. However, he expressed his belief that the Miami International Autodrome, the circuit on which the race is held, is not among the top tracks on the calendar.
Despite the track’s perceived shortcomings, Horner believes that the 2024 Miami GP will be more exciting than last year’s outing due to the inclusion of a sprint race weekend. Sprint races, introduced in recent seasons, offer a shorter, more intense format that adds an extra layer of competition to the traditional race weekend.
Horner also suggested a potential improvement to the Miami GP circuit, proposing that the Hard Rock Stadium, which is central to the track, be incorporated into the layout. This modification, he believes, would enhance the fan experience and make the event even more ‘special’.
The Miami GP has quickly become a popular event on the F1 calendar, attracting a large and enthusiastic crowd. The addition of a sprint race weekend and the possibility of incorporating the Hard Rock Stadium into the circuit are exciting developments that could further elevate the Miami GP’s status as a must-see event in the world of Formula 1.
