Miami GP organisers have outlined some of the key changes they are planning for the 2024 F1 event in order to improve the experience for drivers, teams and fans.

Off the back of a successful first two events for the Miami Grand Prix, the Hard Rock Stadium event is expanding capacity next year, which includes extra grandstands on the start/finish straight towards Turn 1.

"That's something we're looking into for next year. We'll try to make it the very best environment possible, but it was almost two seconds better, and we saw an increased number of passes, including a pass for the lead." But there was one noticeable downside: the artificial grass laid down to protect the pitch helped produce its fair share of static electricity – so anytime anybody touched anything, or anyone else, they got a shock.

"The other point is that we couldn't do something in that football stadium on the pitch without making sure that we engaged the fans. I think that was the quiet benefit that we didn't talk about a lot. "But we didn't really get too deep into the analysis, because at some point, it's why are you doing it? We have to make sure there's a justifiable reason.

"We're always interested in the sprint race," he said."But I will also tell you that quali is really valuable for us, right? Like we see a lot of value in the qualification experience in F1.
