Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Reaches MAJOR Agreement For 2021

Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Leaps Closer To Reality

In one of Sean Bratches last moves in his F1 role, it’s being announced that a deal in principle with Hard Rock is a go. After securing the longest F1 schedule in history for the Formula One 2020 schedule (22), Bratches unveils his successful work making major moves to bring Formula 1 to the United States. There is still one leg to get through and that’s the counties vote at the end of the month. It’s a highly lucrative opportunity for the city and of course a great step forward to bringing F1 to a very profit friendly US market. The Miami-Dade County vote will take place on October 28. This vote is critical to the success of the Grand Prix. With everything hanging in the balance, it’s worth noting it’s a positive step forward to the global expansion of Formula 1. 

 Being a US based site, there’s nuanced information that will be missed by mostly everyone but Cranky Yankee Motorsport. There’s still the issue of that vote but you have to understand, Miami does not have a positive history with sporting events. It doesn’t matter how profitable the race would be to the city, Miami is still scarred from what dropping a giant NFL franchise in the center of the city has done to the lifestyle of the residents. Miami is known for its disparaging socioeconomic echelon gaps. Parachuting in another mega sports event is rubbing key Miami stakeholders the wrong way. It’s taken over 30 years to improve relations with the Dolphins and local residents. The pushback comes from Commissioner Barbara Jordan, whose district includes Hard Rock Stadium, and Miami Gardens Mayor Oliver Gilbert. Both of these key members are outspoken in their disdain for the event.
