A STADIUM. A VERY DIFFERENT GAME.
MIAMIMiami International Autodrome
The stadium is the landmark, but the fiddly changes of pace do the damage. Miami mixes long runs with corners that refuse to hurry.

Where the lap is won. And lost.
THE OPENING RUN
Get settled quickly.
The first part of the lap brings the cars into the stadium circuit’s changing rhythm. Turn 1 is worth watching for attacks.
TURNS 13–16
Mind the change.
Uneven ground and the rising Turn 14–15 chicane interrupt the flow. Precision matters more than making it look dramatic.
THE LONG RUN HOME
Build the chance.
The straights give the drivers room to line up an attack. Turn 17 is one of the key places to watch.
Miami, on your clock.
