No country had that many F1 venues as United States of America. In total, between the ten above-mentioned venues, there has been seventy one Grand Prix Races. Miami will become the first Grand Prix to take place in a predominantly African American place.
Miami is the second venue in Florida to host a race. A race held in 1958 made Sehring the first venue in Florida to host an F1 match. Currently along with Austin, Miami will be the other American Grand Prix venue until Vegas joins next year.
Track
The track will be 5.41 kilometers long, with 19 corners, three straights, and the potential for three DRS zones. The track which encourage close racing with safety standards is centered around Hard Rock Stadium, a multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex that has held six Super Bowls, two World Series of Baseball, and numerous rock concerts.
The course, which will have a top speed of roughly 320km/h (198mph), will have a street circuit feel. It’s comparable to Melbourne’s gorgeous Albert Park, which hosts the Australian Grand Prix.
The layout, on the other hand, will be more akin to a permanent circuit. Although the terrain is mostly flat, there are some minor undulations that designers have incorporated into the circuit.
Between Turns 13 and 16, the track travels over an exit ramp and through multiple flyovers across uneven ground. This results in the most significant elevation change. The Turn 14-15 chicane, for example, has an uphill approach, a crest in the midst of the chicane, and then a drop on exit.
