Like the Monaco Grand Prix which winds through the streets of the Principality, Miami hoped to host its Formula 1 race in the downtown streets, in Downtown, on Biscayne Boulevard, all the way to Bayfront Park, as the Formula E had successfully done for an ePrix organized in 2015.<\/p>\n
For Liberty Media, allied with a wealthy investor, Stephen Ross, the validation of the track was supposed to be a formality. That was without reckoning on the mobilization of local residents, who opposed the arrival of the single-seaters and the installation of the paddock in their city center.<\/p>\n
To avoid any legal battle, the mayor of the city has thus given up! The Miami Grand Prix will change its tune but will still take place, a little further north of the city near the stadium of the American football team the Dolphins, and a few meters from the brand new Hard Rock Stadium, which hosted the new edition of the Masters 1000 tennis tournament a month ago.<\/p>\n
Liberty Media had nevertheless paved the way for the arrival of the premier discipline of motor sports by organizing Formula 1 exhibitions in the city of Florida. Red Bull even drove its single-seater as part of an American road trip. This will not have been enough to convince the residents for the organization of a Grand Prix, which will take place over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n
