In the mantra as F1 host, Miami has become Monaco of the United States

Miami - Welcome to the Miami Grand Prix in Monaco, USA.

Wow. As you all read that sentence, I could almost hear the red line of my motorsports enthusiasts grasping the heart and temper. In 1991, Nigel Mansell was in the engine kill switch (or whatever) of Montreal and Juan Pablo Montoya, which sounded like a comprehensive combination.

This is not a straightforward, one-on-one comparison of the two games. That was too early, unfair, and frankly, stupid. The size of Oscar Piastri and Juan Manuel Fangio, or the pop band and the Rose Bowl. But when we do race against nearly 100-year-old grandpa in the Mediterranean like one of those old-fashioned car magazines on the videotape, the event we will witness this weekend doesn't look like the guy who originally called it "Parking Lock Lot Lot GP".

So, I might suggest you grab a mojito and a soft shirt and let me defend Miami’s statement as Monaco, USA, a little bit?

No, Miami Grand Prix (Sunday, coverage starts at 2:30 PM ET on ABC and ESPN3) There is no Formula One streak on the beachfront streets of South Beach like in Monte Carlo - even after many other races with the same title, Magic City is here too. From the 1980s until 2015, sports cars, Indycars and Formula E were weaved together on the same road, and Sonny Crockett once chased the bad guys (for a history lesson, read here).

No, there are no million-dollar yachts nearby, covered with shawls of beautiful people, swinging on Hercules, the 26th-century port, when launched at the exit end of the tunnel, Hercules, the 26th-century port, drinking champagne and waiting for a racing car.

No, this weekend's racecourse is not listed by the rich, famous and 007 licensed killing iconic stones and iron frames decorated with high restrictions.

However, the venue F1 this weekend does come with the name of the casino, Hard Rock Stadium. There is indeed a very noble yacht filled with very high-end people, emitting very beautiful drinks, although these yachts are not actually floating, but are fixed on trailers, surrounded by fake blue water. Still, if you've been there, I have, they're the best seats on the Miami GP Tour. They are cool, too. Literally. One of the many air-conditioned attractions, this is a steaming fan experience. Of course, I don't have to pay $180 for Carne Asada Nachos or $280 for lobster rolls. They were given to me for dinner on TV in 2022, but damn it, it was amazing. Don't believe me. Because I quickly rubbed lemon aioli from my mouth instead of a guy hitting the table like the first turn of that season.

"I want a body, man!"

It's will.i.am.

"I won't behave like I'm some sort of car racing expert, because I'm not." The person in charge of Black Eyed Pea, a man knows when it will be a good night tonight, said to me. "But all I know is when something is a party. A real party. This game is a real party."

Honestly, the great measure of any F1 event is not a racing car. It has never been in a series that has been exciting beyond making it a classic. Racing, of course, has never been a trademark of Monaco, and has been at a premium in the past since the 1970s. There has even been a heated debate in recent years - led by Red Bull boss Christian Horner - Monte Carlo may no longer belong to the Formula One calendar. But the real charm of Grand Prix Racing’s signature vintage event and the aspect that will always protect its place on the schedule is the event itself. Feel. resonance. The gilded barometer is always used to measure a true F1 race weekend.

"Look at this red carpet! It feels like we were in a movie premiere or a Grammy!"

As with Mr. I.Am's words, this exclamation comes from the lips of a celebrity, pointing to other celebrities who seem to be impressed by the number of celebrities in the 2023 Miami GP, even if they've been surrounded by other celebrities all the time.

Tom Cruise continued excitedly as he strolled to the grid, excitedly continuing, “I saw Serena and Venus earlier.” Yes, Cole’s trick stream had already strolled the Miami International Automation Group and he did it at least twice. “I know this game is still very new, I know there are other amazing F1 venues in the United States right now, but I think this place has become an essential event in the United States.”

Mr. Trickle takes us to an important angle and needs to be raised before we move forward further. At the Americas Speedway in Austin, Texas, nearly 13 years old, it is a real F1 road with many celebrities. See: In fact, Austin Mayor and Grand Prix host Matthew McConaughey. The Las Vegas GP will hold its third edition in November, unparalleled in terms of wonder. Heck, it races straight along the Las Vegas Strip! However, no one will blame the course, whose map looks like a Klondike ice cream bear lying on the back, is the best layout for the racing car.

(This is part of the American racing purists who will scream, “But what about the Grand Prix in Long Beach?!

Miami sat perfectly between Austin and Las Vegas when it comes to US F1 identity. Although far from perfect, the course has fallen into its own state. Wonders, while not exactly racing levels under the sphere emoji or roller coaster on the stratosphere, have more local personality than remote, professionally built racetracks like Cota. To prove this statement, just look for the Water Blue and Mountain Stadium located in the center of all this.

Because in the United States, which three letters may have more cars screaming in the United States, rather than roaring around the NFL-famous stadium?

Lewis Hamilton was never the biggest fan of the Miami Auto Tour itself, but was obviously a fan of Hard Rock Stadium, a fan of the location but apparently a fan of Hard Rock Stadium, a venue formerly known as Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Park, Pro Player Park, Dolphins Stadium, Land Shark Stadium and Sun Sun Life Stadium. Home to the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami Hurricanes, and a former dig for two-time World Series champion Marlins. “It was amazing to walk into that field when they moved a lot of our hospitality and events into the stadium the following year, and think about all the great moments that happened there, especially in the NFL.”

Once powered by Dan Marino's low-field fitness abilities, the precious pigskin land now boasts a powerful aerodynamic miracle of 1,000 horsepower. Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow once figured out how to beat Bob Stoops and Sam Bradford to win the 2009 BCS Championships building is now F1 Teams Hunker Down down to design their game strategy. The game runs through the fall parking lot, and in the fall is filled with the end of the car, Cam Ward worked hard to train the best choice for last week’s NFL draft in the building, which will be swallowing nearly 3½ miles and 19 turns in 90 seconds with McLarens, Red Bulls and Ferraris this weekend.

Is it southern France? No, it's southern Florida. It doesn't matter. Because if it's good enough for Brad Pitt, Shakira and Max Verstappen, Monaco in the United States should be cool for the rest of us Miami mortals.

“The idea of ​​creating this race was to show our love for racing and our love for Miami,” said Emerson Fittipaldi, a two-time Formula 1 world champion and longtime Miami resident. He never won in Monaco, but he did win pole positions and three podiums. Emmo also added the top 10 in the 1987 Miami GP Champion Edition.
