F1 sees value in Miami Grand Prix, extends contract until 2041
Safid Deen explains the value Formula One sees in the Miami Grand Prix and how they hope this race will help grow the sports fanbase in America.
Monaco is the crown jewel of the Formula 1 calendar. Drivers were racing around the streets 21 years before F1's inaugural season in 1950. For decades, it's been a race every driver on the grid wants to win.
The race is an anomaly. It's the only event on the calendar that doesn't have to meet the sport's 190-mile minimum race distance. It's the slowest race of the year by average speed (95-100 mph) as drivers make their way through the tight, twisting circuit with few, if any, overtakes.
Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix highlights: Oscar Piastri leads McLaren 1-2 finish
The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix had an early red flag which meant teams didn't need to pit at any point in the race. That made for one of the least exciting races of the season but featured a rarity in the event: a hometown winner. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc became the first Monégasque driver to win the event since Louis Chiron in 1931.
Qualifying is everything in Monaco due to the lack of overtaking. Last year qualifying was a close battle between the Ferraris and McLarens in the top four places in qualifying. This year could be close again but between the McLarens and reigning world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull.
Verstappen won the most recent race, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, his second victory of the season. That broke McLaren driver Oscar Piastri's streak of three consecutive wins. Piastri and Verstappen are tied for pole positions this season with three each through seven races.
Verstappen could make it two wins in a row but the McLaren drivers may get back on top in the streets of Monaco. Here's what to know about the race.
