Formula One announced today that Miami will be hosting a new race for the 2022 season. Max and Checo are looking forward to racing in the "Magic City" famous for laidback seaside vibes and Latin-American influences.
“I think Miami is a great location for Formula One, it’s a very fun city and there’s lots of energy in that place. The Latino community is pretty big there so I’m definitely looking forward going there soon,” said Checo.
Miami is a sport-mad city, with American Football and Basketball both receiving a huge following and the plan for the circuit is to be built around the Hard Rock Stadium – the home of the Miami Dolphins – using its parking facilities as well as public roads.
“It will be a very interesting circuit and I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with,” explained Checo. “I enjoy a city circuit as it’s a good challenge, so I really hope they make a good track which makes for some exciting racing.”

It’s always interesting to go to a new place where we’ve never driven before and Miami is a great city.
Max is also looking forward to the new challenge. “It’s always interesting to go to a new place where we’ve never driven before and Miami is a great city. I’m sure if they build a good track, we can have a lot of fun out there and hopefully we’ll bring a lot of excitement so the fans can of course enjoy the race.”
The Bulls are also pleased that the US is getting a second race on the calendar, as it will help to grow the sport in America. “I can definitely understand why F1 are having a second race in the US and I’m always happy to be in America. It’s a country that always gives you that kind of feeling that anything is possible, so I’m just excited to go there,” explained Max.
As a sport the connection with Miami will be great and I’m looking forward to meeting all the fans there
Checo has a close connection with Miami and can’t wait to meet the fans over there. “I think it’s very important for F1 to grow the fanbase over in the US, so it’s a great spot for us. As a sport the connection with Miami will be great and I’m looking forward to meeting all the fans there,” he concluded.
