The Construction of the Track
The Miami Grand Prix Track first started to be built all the way back in April of 2021. Now the track is complete with everything from the race control and pit as well as permanent structures all ready to go.
Toward the end of the construction of the track, all that was left to finish was all of the temporary structures that needed to be built throughout the venue. Of course, the run-off areas were finished by being painted in ‘Miami blue’ so everyone could recognize this amazing track at just a glance.
And it is clear to see why those who designed the track would want recognition. The finished product is a fantastic Grand Prix track that is comparable to some of the best in the world.
The designers of the track that oversaw the construction of everything stated that no compromises were made with respect to the quality of construction or circuit design.
Track boss Richard Cregan, adviser to the designers of the track who has been involved in the construction of both the Sochi F1 and the Yas Marina track, said that they have never witnessed so much effort being made to perfect the track’s surface than what was done for the Miami Grand Prix track.
In addition to this, the construction of the track followed the design exactly with no changes. Over the course of 12 months, around 24,000 tons of asphalt were laid down to create the track. The track was made with a mix of Florida lime rock and Georgia granite, created by a specialist R3.
Driver’s First Impressions
Before any of the F1 drivers were let loose onto the track itself, they got to experience it through a driving simulator. This experience alone left a super positive impression on the design of the track and the feel while driving.
In particular, Alex Albon, the driver for Williams, said that the track was challenging and had a good variety throughout it. He praised the technicality of the track and the huge number of options when it comes to choosing the right driving lines.
Pierre Gasly, the driver for AlphaTauri, also praised the track for having a good mixture of challenges. He also said that the track was filled with unusual corners that really make drivers think, as well as super-long straights.
One of the main things that fans and racers really want to know is the speeds that the drivers will be able to obtain on the track. Something that is interesting about the Miami Grand Prix track is that it runs counterclockwise. It also surrounds the Miami Dolphins’ home ground, the Hard Rock Stadium.
It is expected that those racing this track will reach average speeds of around 135 miles per hour as they complete 19 turns in one lap of the track. However, on the long straights, it is expected that the F1 driver will reach speeds close to 200 miles per hour on the longest stretches of the track.
This makes the Miami Grand Prix track up there one of the quickest tracks in the entire sport of F1 racing. Overall, the track is said to have 3 different portions where overtaking will be most likely, so keep an eye out for action at these points.
Impact of Weather
Something that has been on the mind of a lot of the F1 drivers is how the weather will affect the racing conditions in Miami.
This part of America often sees extremely warm weather, especially during the summer months, which brings a whole host of different challenges for drivers. Racing is extremely tiring on the body, and trying to maintain a high level of performance in heat like this can make it very difficult.
