Following a two-week hiatus, the Formula 1 (F1) action for 2024 will resume in Florida. However, before we start talking about the schedule and other details of the Miami Grand Prix 2024, let us take a quick look at the F1 World Championship’s present status and the history of this American race.
Barring one race (the Australian Grand Prix), Max Verstappen has won every single Grand Prix in 2024 so far. The Dutch driver is well on course to his third straight World Championship win this year. In fact, he holds a healthy 25-point lead over his nearest rival, his Red Bull Racing teammate Sergio Perez.
A relatively new race in the F1 itinerary, the Miami Grand Prix was held for the first time in 2022. The Florida-based race will be in its third edition in 2024. Verstappen, the current F1 World Champion, won the event on both previous occasions. As a result, Red Bull Racing remains the most successful constructor side at the Miami Grand Prix with two wins.
Now that we have brought you up to speed with regards to the significance of the race, join us as we take a close look at the Miami Grand Prix 2024, including its schedule (dates and time of the Qualifying, Sprint and main race), venue (the track) and where to live stream the event.
