Miami Grand Prix 2025: Fast cars, big stars — Here's all you need to know about F1's most glamorous race

The Miami Grand Prix at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens has raised the bar for what a Formula 1 race should be, pairing the excitement of motorsport with a full-blown celebrity party. Once met with scepticism from traditional fans, Miami’s race has quickly become a favourite, proving that there’s room in Formula 1 for both hardcore racing and headline-making glamour.

The Miami Grand Prix owes at least as much to the professionally operated and massive popularity of its affiliation with the NFL Miami Dolphins, which are based out of Hard Rock Stadium. Having decades of experience with football events to fall back on, race day organisers for the Grand Prix have created an unparalleled experience. Traffic management, all the way to VIP hospitality, has been perfected.
Tyler Epp, Miami Grand Prix President, reaffirmed the event's mantra: memories that last longer than the track. Whether it's a new fan revelling in the buzz or a celebrity mingling with F1 royalty in the paddock, it's all about memories that will be forever seared.
At the centre of it all is Hard Rock Stadium, repurposed as a luxury motorsport playground. Pop-up luxury suites, beach clubs, and rooftop decks are integrated into the circuit so that fans can watch the race in style in Miami. No surprise it's less of a classic race weekend and more of a weeklong bash.
Celebrities, VIP events, and Miami vibes
The Miami Grand Prix is a master at mash-ups of Hollywood and horsepower. Sporting, movie, and music A-listers feature on the show every year, turning the paddock into a red carpet rather than a pit lane. The spectators are frequently treated to a glimpse of megastars meeting drivers, another zing to already charged action.
Having that VIP presence is a challenge within itself, but it's just one of the things that makes Miami stand out from the rest of the F1 events. It’s not just about appearances either. Miami’s race offers plenty for die-hard fans, with close racing, daring overtakes, and a track layout that encourages high drama. The celebrity glitz only enhances the energy pouring from the grandstands.
