The Miami Grand Prix was a great success in terms of spectator numbers in 2022. During this year's race, the experience for spectators should be further enhanced, which is why the organisers are making all kinds of adjustments.

For the drivers, little is going to change in 2023, although there will be new asphalt along the entire length of the track. Adjustments to the track layout will not be made, although there was criticism of the chicane after the first Grand Prix last year. It was too narrow, according to teams and drivers. But for safety reasons, no further adjustments will be made there.

New Paddock Club

Most changes are aimed at visitors to the race. For example, there will be a new Paddock Club above the pit boxes. According to the organisers - as they report on the circuit's site - this is going to give a great view of the track. In addition, there will soon be more space for the teams. The F1 paddock will be extended to the Hard Rock Stadium field. Fans with a ticket that gives access to the stadium will be able to watch into that paddock this year, so they can follow all the action behind the scenes.

Max Verstappen was the first winner of the Miami Grand Prix last year. It is one of three Grands Prix to be staged in the United States next season. Formula 1 also hosts races in Austin and Las Vegas. For all these races, public interest is very high.
