Miami GP Organizers Are Open to Back-to-Back Races with Canada
As sustainability becomes increasingly important in Formula 1, Miami Grand Prix organizers have expressed that they have no issues with potentially hosting consecutive races with Canada in the future to support F1’s sustainability goals. F1 is working towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, and restructuring the calendar to group races geographically is seen as a key step to reducing travel.
While most European races are held consecutively, there are still many distant races throughout the calendar due to city contracts. For example, in 2025, the Miami GP is scheduled for May 4th, right between the Saudi Arabian GP and Imola, making it part of a triple-header series.
Tyler Epp, president of the Miami GP, stated that Miami’s spot on the calendar works well as the first U.S. race of the season and aligns nicely with Las Vegas later in the year. Despite having limited flexibility due to other major events in Miami, like the Miami Open, Epp remains open to the idea of consecutive races with Canada.
Epp emphasized that while this would ultimately be a decision for F1, Miami is aligned with the sport’s sustainability efforts and wouldn’t mind pairing with Canada if it benefits the sport’s sustainability goals. He also highlighted the uniqueness of each race, noting that attending the Miami GP offers a vastly different experience from races in Montreal or Las Vegas.
Currently, North America hosts five F1 races, including the United States Grand Prix in Austin, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and races in Mexico and Canada. Despite the addition of Las Vegas to the calendar, Epp said Miami hasn’t been negatively impacted, with each event catering to different markets.
