The 2022 season of Formula 1 has witnessed an amazing start. Now, the attention turns to Miami for a very special race. The circuit in Miami offers an incredible backdrop for the first-ever Miami GP, and it will be one to remember. Especially after how fans pulled Daniel Ricciardo, Antonio Giovinazzi, and others to mock the DIY solution.
It is a brand new track and we cannot wait to watch the best drivers in the world compete here. Since the venue is making its F1 debut, there is no telling what strategies or modifications we would see from teams.

However, it looks like organizers have taken matters into their own hands. To create a Monaco like aura, they have built a fake marina for the yachts as the track is far from the sea.
