Christian Horner believes that racing at Hard Rock Stadium could add an extra level of excitement to the Miami GP. The Formula 1 grid will be returning to Miami for the second American race on the calendar, which has proven to be highly beneficial for the sport in terms of commercial success. Horner, the Team Principal of Red Bull, suggested that Formula 1 should consider driving directly into the stadium, instead of around it, to enhance the spectacle of the race. He expressed that, while the current circuit is not the best, the event as a whole is enjoyable, and it would be especially special if his suggestion were implemented.
However, incorporating Horner’s advice into the race is not feasible due to the location of the Formula 1 paddock and hospitality buildings inside the stadium. Fans sit in the stands and watch the race unfold on the ground, making it unlikely for the circuit to include the interior of the stadium. Despite this limitation, Horner is still looking forward to the upcoming Miami GP, considering it a special venue for Formula 1 races. He believes that the second year of the race was better than the first, and is confident that the third year will be even more impressive.
Horner also acknowledged the introduction of the sprint race at Hard Rock circuit, which adds excitement to Formula 1 races in America. He emphasized the importance of American fans and their ability to attract a large audience. The whole weekend is expected to be a major event for the world of Formula 1.
The sprint weekend at the Miami GP is highly anticipated by teams and drivers. They have already prepared for this unique format, and several constructors are expected to shine during the weekend. Red Bull, in particular, is likely to continue its dominant performances on the circuit and secure another victory in the 2024 season.
