Miami’s upcoming race weekend promises double the action with a Sprint format and a first-ever Formula 2 race on U.S. soil, making it an unmissable event for motorsport fans.
This weekend marks a milestone as both the F1 and F2 series bring electrifying new experiences. For the first time as F2 — previously GP2 — the feeder series races on North American soil during the same race weekend, offering fans a rare opportunity to see future F1 stars compete twice in a single event.
Adding to the excitement, Colton Herta, Miami’s third driver for Cadillac in the IMSA series, is making an unexpected F2 debut. His switch from IndyCar to F2 comes after Bahrain and Saudi Arabia rounds were canceled, allowing North American weekends to fill the F2 calendar. This marks Herta’s first F2 race in the U.S., providing a unique home-venue experience.
Meanwhile, F1’s Miami and Montreal races are Sprint weekends, meaning drivers will have two chances to score vital points. To enhance the action, the FIA has extended Friday’s practice session from one hour to 90 minutes, giving teams more time to fine-tune ahead of the intense weekend.
Expect a packed schedule as the series bring high-speed drama and historic moments to Miami, making this a landmark race weekend for fans and drivers alike.
