9 moments you might have missed at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix - Formula 1
Miami never does things by halves, and the 2026 race weekend was no exception. The energy off track matched the action on it across a weekend that delivered everything you'd expect from one of the most vibrant stops on the calendar. There was plenty of on-track drama for the fourth round of the season in Miami, with World Champion Lando Norris back to winning ways in the Sprint, an epic record-breaking drive from Kimi Antonelli to extend his lead at the top of the standings after securing his third pole-to-win in a row, and plenty of shocks and last lap chaos. But those weren’t the only stories from the Grand Prix weekend – so here are some off-track moments you should know about...Messi magic in Miami Lionel Messi was undoubtedly among the most high-profile guests of the weekend, spending time around the Mercedes garage where his kids collected photos and autographs from Antonelli and George Russell.

I Went To My First Formula 1 Race—Here's What Surprised Me Most About ...
It was a sweltering MiamiSaturday when I entered the gates of my first Formula 1 race. The excitement for the day’s sprint race was palpable, live DJ sets from Marshmello and DJ Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal’s alter ego) were playing on the Jumbotrons around the Miami International Autodrome, and nearly everyone was decked out in their favorite driver’s colors. As I ventured further into the various activations around the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prixtrack, I quickly learned how fun and overwhelming (in a good way) my first Formula 1 weekend would be. There was so much to see and do that even over two full days, it would be nearly impossible to do everything and watch the races, though I did attempt to make it to every section of the grounds. But even as I made a list of things I wanted to do, and studied the Miami Grand Prix map, there were still some things that surprised me about the overall experience during the Formula 1 weekend in South Florida.

Between races, there was always something to do, from enjoying different foods and treats to pretending you were an F1 driver with simulator games and more. And even if you didn’t actually make it to the Miami International Autodrome, there were pop-ups all around the city, from hotels with F1 cars in the lobby to fan zones like the Official Fan Fest at the beach and the Racing Fan Fest in Wynwood, both of which are free for anyone to attend.
