Which circuit hosted the first Miami Grand Prix in 2022?

The story behind the answer

The first Miami Grand Prix in 2022 was held at the Miami International Autodrome.

The circuit was built around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, rather than at an established racing venue such as Daytona or Sebring. Although it used parking areas and roads around the stadium complex, it was designed as a purpose-built temporary Formula One circuit. The layout included 19 corners and a long straight, with a distinctive artificial marina section created as part of the event’s visual presentation.

The inaugural race took place on May 8, 2022, as the fifth round of that season’s championship. Max Verstappen won for Red Bull Racing, finishing ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. The event attracted more than 240,000 spectators across the weekend.

The main confusion is geographical: the venue is in Miami Gardens, not the city of Miami itself. Daytona International Speedway and Sebring International Raceway are famous Florida circuits, while Homestead-Miami Speedway is a separate oval venue south of Miami.
