Miami Grand Prix Secures 10-Year Extension in Formula 1 Calendar
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — In a significant announcement, Formula 1 confirmed a decade-long extension of the Miami Grand Prix, ensuring that the event will continue through 2041. This extension highlights the growing popularity and significance of the race as part of the F1 calendar in the United States.
Background on the Miami Grand Prix
The Miami Grand Prix made its debut in 2022, becoming the second Formula 1 race to be held in the U.S. during the annual racing season. The upcoming race represents the fourth event under the initial 10-year agreement established between the Miami Grand Prix promoters and Formula 1.
Expansion of Formula 1 in the U.S.
With the addition of the Miami Grand Prix, the U.S. now hosts three Formula 1 races each year. The latest inclusion, Las Vegas, was introduced to the calendar in 2023, alongside the established Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. This expansion reflects F1’s strategy to grow its presence and engage a broader audience in the North American market.
Comparison with Mexico City Extension
Interestingly, this announcement regarding Miami follows a recent three-year extension granted to the Mexico City Grand Prix. Unlike Miami, the latter is approaching the conclusion of its existing contract, highlighting a varied landscape for F1 events in North America.
As Formula 1 continues to strengthen its footprint in the U.S., the Miami Grand Prix extension marks a pivotal moment in the sport’s efforts to enhance engagement with fans and establish a lasting legacy in the region.
