The 2022 Formula One season is all set to welcome a new entrant in the form of the Miami Grand Prix. The F1 circuit runs around the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Hurricanes and the Dolphins, and also along the lavish streets of Miami.

Hence, this particular Grand Prix event, scheduled in May this year, is certainly going to be a sight to behold for the fans. And being one of the biggest tourist destinations in the United States, the race is also very much likely to attract a lot of spectators, including an abundant number of Hollywood celebrities.

Along with The Magic City, the sport is desperate to add another famous American tourist spot to the racing calendar by as early as next year.
