Equally important to Miamians is their city’s sport and they have it all. Football, basketball, hockey, baseball and soccer – there is something for everyone. So it comes as no surprise that Miami has been chosen as the newest venue in the US to host the world’s fastest motorsport: Formula 1.

Located in the heart of the city, drivers and players must negotiate 19 corners, many of which overlook Hard Rock Stadium in full. With three DRS zones and a long start-finish straight, there are plenty of overtaking opportunities in this fast and fluid layout.
This year’s new regulations have produced some unexpected results in the inaugural races of the sport’s new era. Thanks to the new radical car designs, drivers could follow the car in front much more closely. These new changes were reflected by new physics, tires and handling models that were added F1 22. Recently Announced F1 22 Scuderia Ferrari ambassador and title star Charles Leclerc leads the championship after a strong start to the season, with reigning champion Max Verstappen hot on his heels in second after a dominant win at Imola last time out.
