With just days to go before the start of the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND
PRIX 2023 organizers are gearing-up for another spectacular weekend of action both on and off the race track. The 3.36-mile Miami International Autodrome is set to roar into life over the weekend of May 5-7, 2023 as it hosts round five of this year\u2019s FIA Formula 1 World Championship.<\/p>\n
Twelve months ago, Max Verstappen won the inaugural race in Miami for Oracle Red Bull Racing after a thrilling duel with Ferrari\u2019s Charles Leclerc. With the reigning world champion and his team currently leading the 2023 points standings, the Dutchman will be among the favorites to triumph again on the 19-turn Miami International Autodrome next week. As well as welcoming South Florida\u2019s very own Logan Sargeant to the grid, fans will have plenty to look forward to when the 10 F1 teams and 20 drivers descend on the vibrant city of Miami after making the
6,800-mile trip from Baku \u2014 the location for the previous race \u2014 held just days before the action begins in Miami Gardens.<\/p>\n
New for this year, the Formula 1\u00ae paddock will be located in the center of Hard Rock Stadium and organizers have been working around-the-clock to prepare the venue, transforming the football field to the home of the Miami Open presented by Ita\u00fa., and then quickly to the Formula 1\u00ae Team Village \u2013 all in four months\u2019 time. The natural grass football field was removed immediately following the Dolphins\u2019 final home game of the regular season on January 8, and was replaced with a 6,000-seat temporary grandstand and hard court for the international tennis tournament.<\/p>\n
Following the conclusion of the two-week tournament, the three-storey stand was dismantled in just 12 days to allow the F1\u00ae team hospitality units to be built in-bowl at Hard Rock Stadium.<\/p>\n
The incredible transformation from football field to tennis court to Formula 1\u00ae Team Village is a continuation of the global entertainment destination that Hard Rock Stadium has become famous for in recent years, having hosted a multitude of world-class events including major concerts, the Super Bowl, boxing and international soccer.<\/p>\n
There are a number of other developments for 2023 and new features that promoters South Florida Motorsports have been working on, thanks to the significant investment from Chairman of the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI\u00a0GRAND PRIX 2023 and Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium Owner Stephen Ross. Over the past ten months, a brand-new permanent Paddock Club has been constructed above the garages on pit lane. It features a rooftop viewing deck which extends into Hard Rock Stadium. The new three-tier facility houses 6,000 guests and offers amazing views of the final sequence of corners and the start\/finish straight.<\/p>\n
One of the largest investments made since the inaugural race is the repaving of the track, which was made with the intent to provide best-in-class racing. In conjunction with circuit architects Tilke and based on feedback from the drivers\u2019 council, teams, Formula 1 and the FIA, the entire 3.36-mile course has been re-paved while minor alterations have been made to the Turn 14\/15 chicane.<\/p>\n
Fans will be able to view the track action from new hospitality spaces, including The Vista at Turn 1 and The Boathouse at MIA Marina, which will offer premium experiences for guests to choose from while still reflecting the culture of Miami. One of the most popular areas on the Campus last year was Hard Rock Beach Club. This luxury space has been enhanced for this year, with more cabana-style seating and entertainment acts already confirmed including superstars Jonas Brothers and Wisin y Yandel headlining Saturday and DJ Ti\u00ebsto and Cederic Gervais performing on race day. In addition, the world's first bilingual, Latin girl-group Bella Dose will perform on the track ahead of the race start.<\/p>\n
Around the venue, grandstand capacity has been increased to over 55,000 with elevated viewing platforms on Trackside Lane between Turns 8 and 10, an expanded F1 Fan Zone, plus more shaded seating and water stations throughout the Campus. In addition, all pedestrian bridges have been doubled \u2013 and in some cases quadrupled \u2013 in width to allow for improved flow of traffic so fans can better access all the Campus has to offer.<\/p>\n
In further developments, there will be a new area in the Campus known as Race Street, where spectators will be able to view luxury car displays, street art by local artists, listen to music and experience the best food and beverage offering that showcase Miami. Returning in 2023 will be a number of luxury spaces that offer world-class hospitality. They include the exclusive, invite-only Palm Club plus the 72 Club presented by J.P. Morgan Payments. Other premium spaces include the Casa Tua Trackside Club, a soulful intimate atmosphere with traditional Italian cuisine catered by one of Miami\u2019s most prestigious restaurants. Award-winning chefs Michelle Bernstein, Brad Kilgore and Lorena Garcia amongst others, will once again bring their exquisite culinary offerings to the race track.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been working flat-out preparing for our second race and are excited to welcome back Formula 1, the FIA, the teams, drivers, our guests and the fans to experience another brilliant weekend of on-track action,\u201d said Tyler Epp, President of the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX. \u201cFrom our incredible new Paddock Club building to the Team Village in Hard Rock Stadium, the enhanced hospitality spaces, food and beverage offerings, and the many
changes around campus, I\u2019m proud that our race allows us to showcase so much of Miami\u2019s culture, putting us at the intersection of sports and entertainment. At the heart of it all is world-class racing, and we can\u2019t wait for Miami to be in the spotlight as Formula 1 arrives in America for the first time this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
