What to expect at the Miami Grand Prix
Set inside the sprawling complex of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, the Miami International Autodrome is a 19-turn, 3.36-mile temporary circuit specifically designed to have the flow and feel of a permanent track.
It features three long straights (where the 2026 active aero regulations will be on full display), heavily braking zones, and a tight, technical chicane section under the turnpike. With the intense Florida heat historically playing a massive role in tyre degradation, teams will have to perfect their pit stop strategies to conquer the challenging layout.
Don't miss the action!
The 2026 F1® championship battle is already heating up, and the tight walls of Miami are bound to deliver drama, safety cars, and spectacular overtakes.
Make sure your living room is race-ready. Bypass the cable box and stream the future of motorsport exactly where it lives.
