After a month away from racing, Formula 2 is making its series debut in North America, running alongside Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix. Following the cancellations of Bahrain and Saudi Arabian races, new tracks and replacement races became part of the F2 schedule, including Miami and Canada for the first time. This weekend marks the first-ever F2 race in North America at the challenging Miami International Autodrome. With no prior data or test runs, all 22 drivers on the grid face an even playing field, making it a thrilling and unpredictable race weekend.
The Miami circuit features three DRS zones and a long back straight conducive to overtaking, promising plenty of action in both the Sprint and Feature Races. The medium and supersoft tire selection in Miami allows teams to strategize for varying race conditions, potentially influencing the race outcome significantly. Heading into Miami, Red Bull-backed Nikola Tsolov leads the championship, closely followed by F3 champion Rafael Camara, setting the stage for intense battles at the front of the grid.
Colton Herta, the hometown hero, returns to race in Miami after finishing seventh in Melbourne, eager for a strong performance in familiar territory. All eyes will be on key teams like Campos and Invicta Racing, with a strong chance of podium finishes for drivers Tsolov, Camara, Leon, and Durksen. The anticipation is high for an action-packed Formula 2 Miami Grand Prix, with drivers and teams poised for thrilling on-track battles and challenging race strategies in unfamiliar territory.
