Grand Prix 2022

During the Miami GP, Colton Herta was the talk of the paddock when he prospects of him joining F1 was discussed and him testing the MCL35M.

And it is cool to see that it is kind of a trend he is good at,” Colton added. Reunited during the Miami Grand Prix, Colton was impressed with Norris. So I am looking forward to that.” Driving for Harding Steinbrenner Racing IndyCar until its eventual merger with Andretti Autosport, Herta showed his incredible talent. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT

ABC's presentation of the 2022 Miami Grand Prix set a record for the largest audience ever for a live Formula 1 telecast on U.S. television, ESPN announced ...

Hartford, Conn., Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Charlotte, N.C., and Cincinnati were among the Top 10 markets. That audience peaked at an average of 2.9 million from 4:45 to 5 p.m. EDT, as defending Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen drove to victory. Miami, West Palm Beach, Fla., Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Francisco were the Top 5 viewership markets.

It's been 7 years since F1 had an American driver. 16 since one ran a full-season. But the path to fixing the U.S. drought in F1 is unclear.

It’s just about being in the right place, the right time and in the right series,” he said – Andretti isn’t so sure. But because he couldn’t muster up the money, he knew he was giving up his best shot at a possible future in F1 the moment he headed back to California. The testing opportunity he has with McLaren later this year should be seen as the exception – largely due to Zak Brown and McLaren’s role with Arrow McLaren SP in IndyCar and Brown’s familiarity with American open-wheel racing. With TPC, Herta will get to run an unannounced number of days in last year’s McLaren F1 car because of how stark the regulation changes were this offseason. “But IndyCar is incredibly competitive also – as competitive as any junior formula series over in Europe, so you should be able to make the jump. Their fellow competitors have nothing to do with how good Herta and O’Ward are, but for an outsider, it would be easy to look at that lack of grid depth and ignore it. And I would agree an American driver shouldn’t get a ride just because he’s an American, because you should have to be good enough. Herta tried to “play the game” the proper way. Oscar Piastri (2021 F2 champ) and Robert Schwartzman (runner-up) remain on the sidelines in test or reserve driver roles with established teams, waiting for a possible call-up this offseason. If America can produce one of the 20 best drivers in the world in these machines, then that would be fantastic. The phrase “follow the money” may have no better fit than the racing series that announced days ago it paid $240 million for a plot of land on the Las Vegas Strip to build its paddock for next year’s debut of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Netflix’s F1 behind-the-scenes show ‘Drive to Survive’ has helped grow U.S. fan interest at a rapid pace. It would be a good mission for us to find the next one.” “But maybe now’s the time to start focusing on how we can include more people here, because it’s such a diverse country.

Venus Williams was the champion of the party circuit while celebrating the inaugural Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix weekend.

Later in the evening, Venus and Serena Williams hit the American Express Presents Carbone Beach dinner party. At one point, Venus was seen joining Hilton, 41, behind the DJ booth as partygoers danced to the hotel heiress’ tunes. A source tells Page Six that the athlete was joined by a group of friends and took photos with fans.

NASCAR barely had more viewers overall but the inroads F1 has made with young adults in recent years are abundantly clear.

The inaugural race was filled with glitz and glamor, drawing in the most fans at the Dolphins' stadium and the largest U.S. audience for a live F1 ...

According to ESPN, that record is still held by ABC’s broadcast of the 2002 Monaco Grand Prix, which was shown the same day but was a delayed presentation. The Miami Grand Prix, however, was not the most viewed F1 telecast in history. The race aired from 3:30 p.m. to 5:36 p.m. ET, and ABC’s full telecast (including the 90-minute Grand Prix Sunday pre-race show) averaged 2.1 million viewers. But the record-breaking numbers extended beyond just television viewers on race day. It peaked at 2.9 million viewers from 4:45 p.m. and 5 p.m. ET., and for the age group 18-49, the race averaged 735,000 fans watching as Max Verstappen navigated his way to victory. Additionally, Friday’s first practice brought in 398,000 viewers, another record since 2018.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc leads the standings but Max Verstappen reduced his deficit with victory in Miami last time around.

At the end of two DRS zones into tight-ish corners are the best opportunities: at the end of the back straight and the pit straight respectively. Channel 4 will also have extended highlights throughout the season. First and second practice run on Friday May 20.

Venus Williams, who was seen rubbing shoulders with the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Tom Brady during Formula 1's Miami Grand Prix, arrived at the track on a ...

Venus, confused about why the English commentator was still holding his microphone in her direction, said, “Oh, sorry, what was the question?” “She was with three girlfriends,” the insider said, adding that Williams, 41, “was really friendly” and said “hi” to other passengers. “Serena, tell us what you think of this event here in Miami,” the British Sky Sports reporter asked her while on the starting grid, ahead of Max Verstappen’s victory.

Instead of being served on beautifully set tables, guests helped themselves to a buffet and found a seat in an area that she said resembled a cafeteria. “The parking pass we purchased with our ticket didn’t match up with the gate we were closest to for entry,” she said. She said the area was also set up so guests couldn’t even see the podium, a perk they paid for. “For what was touted as a world-class experience came away feeling like the Fyre Festival of F1 races,” said one 26-year-old who works in financial services and declined to provide his name for fear of backlash over his attending such a pricey event. “I’d say just the lack of the true marina circuit cheapened the whole experience,” he said. The boats were on dry ground and painted blue to make it look like the sea on TV.) Gondolas, branded by Heineken, hovered high above the track to give viewers a bird’s-eye view of the race.

The two races went head to head Sunday, and it was NASCAR that took home the checkered flag.

Despite losing in the ratings to the stock cars, it was certainly a successful weekend for Formula 1. TV ratings have been a hot topic, rightfully so, in NASCAR for the past few seasons. The event became the second most-watched F1 race in U.S. history (live or tape-delayed), and also became the No. 1 live race. The numbers are in, and NASCAR took the checkered flag ... barely ... in Sunday's showdown with the highly anticipated Formula 1 race in Miami. CLASH SUCCESS: NASCAR TV ratings are in, and the Clash is most-viewed since 2016. The TV numbers are in, and NASCAR takes down Formula 1 race in Miami. What does it mean?

While Max Verstappen's binary season continued, Fernando Alonso added only penalty points to his tally in F1's first Miami Grand Prix.

With his pole position lap of 1’28.796, averaging 219.415kph, Leclerc established the first benchmark for the circuit. Leclerc took his third pole position of the season but, for the first time this year, failed to convert it into victory. Half of the top 10 are currently racing in Formula 1, including record-holder Lewis Hamilton (183), Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Valtteri Bottas.

Racing fever swept South Florida last weekend as celebrities filled the paddock. The sport's drivers, meanwhile, saw room for improvement.

Money does talk, though, and it echoed during the Miami Grand Prix. The drivers’ safety concerns are real, but the ability to improve while keeping the integrity of the spectacle is there. But, there was a very, very, I think very good Grand Prix. The reception, the fans through the city, it was awesome,” Ricciardo said. As the sun sets on another historic Grand Prix weekend, fans, the media and teams walk away witnessing the possibility of a new era of Formula One in the United States. Although the race struck a monotonous tone after Verstappen passed Leclerc for the lead early on in the 57-lap race, the viewership and attendance records should not be given an asterisk. But all hope is not lost with the Miami Grand Prix. Sainz said during the post-race press conference, “I think, between FIA and ourselves, we can do a better job with the tarmac. Verstappen, who said Sunday that the race was “really incredibly well organized” and he “had a lot of fun driving around,” did point out areas that could be changed to fit an F1 car better. And while it has brought in a new era of fans, there has been criticism among the drivers, such as reigning world champion Max Verstappen, about the tendency for the series to over-dramatize. One of the major factors leading the charge in making this happen and opening the door for a new generation is Netflix’s hit series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. He added that with Sector 2, it “would have been nice if it could have been a bit faster and flowing for an F1 car like we have right now. Within a few hours of the Grand Prix ending and Verstappen holding on to beat points leader Charles Leclerc, the traveling circus fell into routine by packing everything up again for its next destination. Many wonder why it took so long for Formula One to gain a foothold stateside, but the Miami Grand Prix showed what the future of the sport could be while highlighting needed improvements to warrant continuing here. U.S. fans seem set to blow past that mark this year, as more than a million tuned in for the ’22 season opener in Bahrain, peaking at 1.5 million. It’s one of the most diverse sports leagues in the world, with drivers hailing from all over the globe.

Max Verstappen leapt from third to first in the inaugural Miami Grand Prix but who else caught the eye of our judges this weekend? The scores are in from ...

From then it was a struggle to keep pace with Sainz but Perez marched on, doing his best to pry P3 after the late Safety Car restart – but his Lap 52 lock-up was the last opportunity Perez would have. It was a typically hard-charging performance from the two-time champion, and an approach that impressed our judges enough to put him in this week's top 10. Bottas was one of a number to crash in Friday practice but he too kept his chin up, qualifying a season-best P5 on Saturday. The Alfa Romeo driver seemed almost destined to finish there too, until Russell's late stop for tyres. Porpoising knocked his confidence and led to a Q2 exit, but a long stint on hard tyres saw Russell work his way into the top 10 and beyond when Bottas went off track and Hamilton duly conceded P5. Esteban Ocon fell foul of the tight Turn 14 chicane entry in FP3 and from then on it seemed like the Alpine driver's weekend was over, as he had to sit out qualifying with a cracked chassis. Max Verstappen leapt from third to first in the inaugural Miami Grand Prix but who else caught the eye of our judges this weekend?

Five exceptional lodgings offer fine cuisine, luxurious spas and inviting beds after viewing the excitement of the world circuit.

Modern and luxurious, the hotel is a quick car ride to the Autodromo Jose Carlos Place. The locally-crafted rooms use natural materials, and are framed by soaring city skylines. Fans can retreat to the grande dame hotel for culinary experiences including a world-famous Singapore Sling at the historic Long Bar, the birthplace of the cocktail in 1915. YOSHI and the Veuve Clicquot Lounge offer Grand Prix action, with a view of the race’s most thrilling bend.

“I think it’s so tight with Ferrari. There’s been some great racing. “There’s a long, long way to go,” he said. “There’s no rake in the car, essentially.

Formula 1 has reported an average US audience of 2.6 million viewers during the live broadcast of the Miami Grand Prix.

For the 2022 season F1 reported an average of 1.4 million US viewers per race, exceeding last year’s most-watched event by 200,000. These were the largest qualifying and practice audiences since F1 returned to being broadcast on ESPN in 2018. They represent between 28% of F1’s viewers, which compares favourably to NASCAR’s 19%.

It does, just in time, as the cars launch off the line and a deep rumble of shouts erupts from the crowd. “It’s a ten-lap sprint to the checkered flag…ideally,” the announcer intones wryly. For one Middle Eastern race, it’s sweet vermicelli noodles with saffron and egg; for Texas, a feast of bacon, barbecue, and onion ring burgers; with Italy, a charcuterie spread; for the recent Australia race, cookies and biscuits and candies from Amazon like the violet crumble (“it's the shatter that matters”). Bottas comes in low and straight across the curb on final Q3 laps, surging to fifth place in the Alfa Romeo with the Ferrari engine. Until Sebastian Vettel spins and almost gets pierced in front of the Porta-Potty sitting right in front of us, that is. McLaren’s Lando Norris told Reuters that drivers expected the new Miami F1 track to be “very smooth and beautiful, but it’s not.” “To have Formula 1 in Miami, I mean, in theory I could in the same week do two of my favorite things.” Contrast with Max Verstappen’s first pole position the season after his first driver’s championship—the first time that didn’t go to Hamilton since 2016—and Verstappen getting a villain edit like “Survivor” or “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” There’s so much to take in, but so much that’s out of sight, around another corner, we watch much of practice on a massive screen hoisted in a Hard Rock Hotel paddock across the track. By the end of the fourth season I begin to understand the minutiae of what can go right, and then everything else. It lifted the ban on drivers posting to social media first; then it created “Drive to Survive,” a Netflix series that follows the F1 circuit in narrative form. It’s the biggest racing series on the planet, with a global TV audience that accounts for about a quarter of the people on earth.
