Miami International Autodrome
Miami F1 Track Guide

START/FINISH

Aptly named, the start/finish Grandstand is where you want to be if you are looking to be at the centre of the action for the weekend. Here you will have views of the starting grid and pitlane, as well as the post-race podium celebrations. Directly across from the stand is the famous Hard Rock Stadium, which is easily accessed by the nearby bridge at the final corner (turn 19). There are plenty of food and drink options available directly behind the grandstand. The top rows of the Start/Finish grandstand are also covered, and there are plenty of giant screens visible.

TURN 1

Located on the outside of Turn 1, this grandstand puts you in a prime viewing position to catch all the action that the opening corner provides. At the end of a DRS zone, wheel-to-wheel racing is a high likelihood. The Turn 1 Grandstand also gives you a view of the pit exit. As with the start/finish grandstand, the upper rows are covered from the warm Miami sun and food, drink, toilet and merchandise options are all conveniently located close by.

MARINA

The Marina Grandstands are on the twisty Turns 6 and 7, and are sat a little further back from the track itself. While you won’t see the cars at full speed here, you can appreciate the aerodynamic efficiency of a Formula One car as they navigate this still-quick section of track. Atmosphere-wise, these seats are located next to all the entertainment options on the circuit, with the yacht club directly opposite and accessed via a bridge. The McLaren and Aston Martin team fan clubs are also at the Marina Grandstands, and the Miami city itself is most easily accessed from this stand also.

THE BEACH SOUTH

Whether you want to be sat on the infield or outside the track will define which of the Beach Grandstands you choose, with Beach South sitting on the outside of Turn 11 and a smaller stand than Beach North. At the end of a long straight and DRS zone, Turns 11 and 12 provide an overtaking opportunity, which you will be able to witness from Beach South.

THE BEACH NORTH

Directly opposite Beach South is the Beach North stand, which is on the inside of Turn 12. The first edition of the Miami GP had a lively atmosphere, most notably on the infield section of the track, so if a party atmosphere all weekend long is what you are seeking, Beach North is a very good choice. The Red Bull Energy Station is located just next to the Beach North, and from an on-track perspective, overtaking is always a chance between Turns 11-13.

TURN 18

Located at the penultimate corner, Turn 18 Grandstand gives you excellent views of the final section of track, as well as pit-entry. Seats higher in this stand will give you views of the back straight prior to the approach to this corner, which will be another popular overtaking spot during the race. Behind grandstand are plenty of food and drink options, which is one of the strengths of the Miami circuit. The Mercedes and Ferrari fan clubs are found at the Turn 18 Grandstand, and you are a short walk from the main fanzone.
