Are you interested in learning more about Formula One? Join us for a fascinating conversation with Ron Hecht, Senior Director of Ticket Sales F1 Miami Grand Prix, as he helps shed insight on some of the positive impacts bringing this event to South Florida has had on the community.

Formula One (also known as Formula 1 or F1) is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). In 2018, a proposal for the Miami Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship was submitted to the city of Miami, with 2019 proposed as the first date for the race. After complications arose due to PortMiami’s construction and development plans, a proposal was submitted for a 2021 race at Hard Rock Stadium. The track then moved locations from the downtown area to the area near Hard Rock Stadium and its nearby parking lots. The event is due to form a part of the 2022 Formula One World Championship, with the race taking place at the Miami International Autodrome on a ten-year contract. The Grand Prix is due to take place May 6-8.
