Miami signs contract extension to 2041
A whopping 10-year extension has been added to the Miami Grand Prix’s contract with Formula 1, meaning that it will remain part of the calendar until 2041.
The Miami race joined the calendar for the first time in 2022, and this year marks the fourth race at the Miami International Autodrome, located around the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

Alpine registers new brake ducts – but won’t run them in Miami
In every race weekend, the media gets sent a document of all the new updates that each team brings along to a race weekend for the first time. Among this, Alpine made a note of its new front brake ducts and associated suspension components to improve the airflow in this area.
But, given the nature of the sprint weekend and limited time to test the parts, Alpine has decided not to run them and will hold off until Imola to try them out for the first time.
“We’re not gonna run it this weekend,” executive technical director David Sanchez explained. “I think when we considered everything, the sprint weekend, all the details, we thought let’s keep it until the next round. But we do have it to ready to go.
“It’s always a blend of trying to improve aerodynamics, look after what we can do better with the brakes, tyre heating or cooling, just like to blend everything. We have it, but it’s not going to go on the car this weekend.”
