Formula 1 has announced a 10-year extension with the Miami Grand Prix that will ensure the event remains on the calendar through 2041.

Introduced in 2021, the 100-kilometre Sprint race mixes up the traditional grand prix schedule and is held on Saturday after Friday's qualifying. The traditional grand prix qualifying session then sets the stage later on Saturday for the main race ahead of Sunday's event.

The move of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, F1’s all-time leader in wins and pole positions, to the F1 team of the most iconic racing brand, Ferrari, created all manner of electricity in the offseason. In season, other than a Sprint race win in China from pole, Hamilton’s raced unplugged, seventh in the standings with only 31 points.
