Formula 1: Miami Grand Prix Track Guide

Robert Snow / Red Bull Content Pool

Formula 1 is back in the United States for the Miami Grand Prix around the Miami International Autodrome.

Will Oscar Piastri and McLaren still be leading the Championship after race six, or will last year's race winner take Oscar's crown, only time will tell. One thing we do know is that Miami is bringing the glitz and glam that it's known for.

With special liveries for the Ferrari, Sauber, RB and Mercedes for Doriane Pin's F1 Academy car, Miami will offer something unique.
