Formula One is headed to a new destination from 2022 after announcing a
10-year deal with the city of Miami to host a Grand Prix at the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens.
The circuit will surround the stadium that plays host to the Miami Dolphins American football team and was designed in collaboration with Apex Circuit design over a number of years.
The circuit itself is 5.41km long and Hard Rock Stadium sits directly in the middle of the new layout. There will be 19 turns and simulations predict a top speed of 320km/h and an average speed of 223km/h.

The United States has long hosted Formula 1 Grands Prix, with the latest iteration of the USGP – held at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas – having been held since 2012 (with the exception, of course, of the lost year that was 2020).
But the pinnacle of motorsport is continuing its efforts to expand its already record-breaking calendar and attract American viewers, which is why it has announced a new Miami Grand Prix for 2022 as part of a ten-year deal. The city will be the 11th US location to host a race and will mark the return of Formula 1 racing to Florida since the first USGP was held in Sebring in 1959.
