F1 News: 275,480 spectators attended the 2025 GP of Miami
Across the three days, a total of 275,480 spectators flocked to the Miami International Autodrome for the 2025 GP of Miami to experience an exceptional weekend of exciting racing, off-track entertainment and the very best food and beverage that South Florida has to offer.
In its first four years of hosting a race, the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO .COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX has established itself as a showpiece event and one of the most desirable to visit on the calendar.
During another successful weekend, the race’s promoter, South Florida Motorsports, also announced a new 10-year extension to make the GP of Miami the longest-contracted on the Formula 1 calendar, with the race continuing through to 2041.
In front of a sell-out crowd, the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM GP of MIAMI delivered a spectacular show filled with drama, overtakes and wheel-to-wheel thrills — with Oscar Piastri emerging as the race winner. The McLaren driver led home teammate Lando Norris across the line for a stunning 1-2 finish. Mercedes’ George Russell completed the podium, but it was the McLaren duo’s fierce battle with pole-sitter Max Verstappen that truly made this fourth edition of the race in Miami Gardens one to remember.
In its third edition in 2024 , the race boasted more than 275,000 attendees and a record-breaking average audience of 3.1 million viewers on ABC – a mark previously held by the inaugural FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX – making it the largest live US television audience on record for a Formula 1 race.
The event has generated more than $1 billion in economic impact to South Florida over its three years. SFM and Formula 1 have also worked closely to engage with and support the local Miami Gardens community, providing thousands of tickets annually for residents, creating a STEM education program through MIA in Schools, offering event internships for local students and featuring several community-owned restaurants on Campus during race weekend each year.
