Why The Miami F1 Grand Prix SUCKS

- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2024
- We are back in Miami for the Formula 1 2024 Season and it is still one of the most boring races to watch. Terrible track layout, Garbage race experience. 0 good overtakes and generally just a bad track. Why cant Formula travel to the better american race tracks for formula 1? Like Road America.. Who knows..

I don't know a single American that liked the Driver intro at all. I would not say it is the culture.
It's the NASCAR culture, but that's all it is.
@@robadams1645Those intros are bad when they do it in nascar as well
@@weirdfan88 Definitely, but I think that's where F1 got the "inspiration" from. They thought "hey, Americans like this" so they added it to US F1 races. Not realizing that Nascar fans don't necessarily have a lot of overlap with other racing fans.
I like it. And I really don't understand all the hate that F1's fanfare gets. If you don't want to watch the drivers' introductions, skip it. If you don't want to see Zhou Guanyu thanking the bleachers full of his fans, don't watch it. Why complain about stuff like that?
Well now you do know an American that says it is the culture. Me. I understand the race sucks but its something they do in the NFL and its a cool part of the sport
I don't like the Miami track for a couple of reasons: Firstly because it's just a boring track with endless paved runoffs, and secondly because it epitomises everything that I (and many others) don't like about the direction F1 is heading in, the fake marina is just the stupidest thing I've ever seen on a track. If F1 was so desperate for a Miami race, why couldn't they spend their money on renovating Homestead Speedway to F! standards instead of building a boring parking lot track?
Because road course onto an oval isn’t good road course racing. Same thing is true with drag strips into road course like IRP.
The fake marina was LAF!
Sorry, I'm going to die from the cringe, and I'm American. It's so unnecessary and forced.
Just put them on a flatbed, put a mic in their face for 30 seconds, and get on with the racing.
That said, Martin Brundle always has fun with these idiots on the grid, which is good for a laugh 😅
I'm not gonna lie. As an American, I feel spoiled with all the races in my country now after nothing for so long. However, I've never understood this reason for this track since day one. At least Austin produces good racing. Miami is the only race on the calendar that I don't look forward to every year.
Agreed, Austin is a great track I was also pleasantly surprised by Vegas... but Miami is just awful dull if you're not interested in what some vapid celebrity thinks (although I'm sure it's fascinating) it's a shame as I bet there are loads of places to go racing State side with a bit of investment.
as someone from the united states i fucking hate the miami gp
As an American/New Yorker and Circuit Racer, I fucking hate Miami's Track and the Grand Prix Stinks
Las Vegas is just as bad if not worse.
@@gangoffour6690Vegas GP was fun to watch, though. Let's keep it and dump Miami
@@gangoffour6690 Vegas was a really good race though
@@Tillhonynot really Vegas was a disaster from being boring to making everyone who lives there pissed off to people from other country’s that made a trip to Vegas and had f1 ruin it for them with cardboard on all walk ways so people who didn’t give a shit about f1 couldn’t see f1 at least this year Miami gp was the absolute most entertaining race of the season this year and everyone saying that it was bad this year is obviously just max verstappen fans that are butt hurt that he didn’t win
I guess F1 wanted to race Road America years ago but the upgrades they demanded were too expensive and rejected by the track owners. Such a shame.
U can see how much max doesnt want to be doing that entrance lol
I wonder what F1 would do if he just said no. Could they prevent him from racing? Imagine the headlines.
F1 just needs to stop trying to expand in the US before it loses its identity like Indycar did.
It can expand differently than what its currently doing, I much prefer an actual racetrack like COTA over Miami and Vegas
The Grand Prix at Watkins Glen was iconic back in the day. We had good US races in the 80s and 90s. Even the Indy track had some great moments.
Poor take
I just have this odd feeling that miami will deliver by pure luck and then f1 will use it as an excuse to contract miami for like a million years.
No it was trash last year from beginning right to the chequered flag waiving by Apple CEO Tim Cook. Just RUclips “Tim Cook flag waiving”. It’s atrocious.
@@SimRacingVeteranlast year Miami was good, which is like someone winning the powerball, but It hapened
I still want Miami to be striped out of the calendar, last season race was just a casuality and not the norm
Well looks like you got it right, that race was fantastic!
@@jeremyinthebay haha true, not to mention I was like to my friend “kmag should just take one for the team and bin it so lando can win” and a couple of laps later he yeeted logan, and lando won!
@@SimRacingVeteranmy gosh do you guys watch the races? Listen to yourself your crying a out someone waving a flag. F1 fans cry about everything it's funny to me. Meanwhile Miami just gave you one of the best races this year so far
I agree with most of your points but complaining about lack of overtaking in F1 is not specific to Miami. It's a problem with the series in general.
You can say this about pretty much every street circuit.
Nah mate Baku or Singapore are actually fun
Vegas is a bangin” track as well.
@@alexcostea1455 yes they are, and Jeddah also
@@SimRacingVeteran don’t exaggerate Vegas is a horrible track just because because we were lucky to get a good race doesn’t make it a good track
Monaco is fire tho
Road America is one of the best tracks I have ever raced on. Your simulator does no justice for this track. The biggest problem with Road America is, it’s in the middle of nowhere 😂.
I quite like Mid Ohio and Watkins Glen, but again, in the middle of nowhere.
Best picks would probably be Road Atlanta or Laguna Seca.
Never raced at Indianapolis but please don’t take us back to the brickyard road course!
Roman Grosjean said F1 cars can’t race at Laguna Seca. That the noses on the cars would be damaged and not be able to hold up in the corkscrew.
Life long Floridian and Miami resident here. I agree with just about everything you stated! Been watching formula 1 for over two decades, and this entire "event" is an EMBARASSMENT! The location is awful, the track design is pitiful, and the race itself is BORING!! So many other locations in the US and even Florida would have been WAY better than this ABOMINATION! If F1 wanted a race in Florida the Orlando area would have made more sense with proximity to all the attractions, hotels and much better road access! Disney does NOT own ALL of central Florida as many people would have you believe. There is still PLENTY of real estate up in the central/northern Florida for a quality track. Hell even a few tweaks to the infield road course at Daytona would have made more sense and a portion of the oval incorporated in the track layout would have made for better racing! This turd of track is only a shameless political money grab. I know a few of my coworkers who dropped serious coin on this event, who know NOTHING about F1 or racing for that matter! But that like most Miami residents are the target audience the promoters seek. They are just there for the so called "experience" and to be seen and gawk at a bunch know-nothing vapid celebrities as well as take a bunch of silly selfies and videos , while shouting 'YO CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!" Most of them would not know Max Verstappen from Max Factor! Your points are well stated and i agree with just about everything you said! BTW just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work!
It's all about money, the reason why it's in Florida and not at Road America is financial return. We have 4 North American races, Montreal is a classic, Austin & Vegas are decent. I'd be happy with Scrapping both the Miami & Vegas grand prix and bring the races back to actual race circuits. Sepang, Istanbul, hell Watkins Glen would be better if it got some love.
As an American I agree this race is tragically boring, and what’s sad is you wouldn’t even need to get out of Florida to have good racing, you could modify the Daytona circuit that the FIA already uses and make a very enticing and exciting race out of that
All the US Grand Prix' have been stupid lately. At least COTA is a dedicated circuit, but turning the Vegas strip into an F1 circuit? Honestly, what the hell were they thinking? They keep picking the absolute WORST locations in the country to have the US GP's. I live in the US, and I utterly hate that these US GP's have become all about celebrities and especially Vegas and Miami, where it just becomes like a typical American sporting event. Why the hell does DJ Khaled need to be there (presumably pointing at every car that goes past and saying "anotha' one")? Grand Prix' should not feel like some kind of "Superbowl" for F1.
Road America would be perfect for F1, honestly, and there's plenty of other tracks that could be easily converted for F1 in the US. Hell, just outside of Vegas, there are multiple "private" tracks with massive facilities built in the desert that have been built in the last 10 yrs, most of which are modeled after famous tracks from around the world. There's enough empty space out there that they could build a dedicated F1 circuit instead of being idiots and using downtown Vegas.
Also, of course Lewis is the only one who seems to like these "star studded" events, he seems more concerned about his future as a fashion designer than his F1 career. I know he wants that 8th world championship title, but beyond that, I think he's honestly more concerned about stupid fashion trends than continuing to be a great driver. He's become such a whiner on the track, lately. I know Merc hasn't had their cars in order, but Lewis would rather complain about the issues than try and overcome them lately. It's really upsetting, considering what a down-to-earth guy he was for a huge chunk of his career.
As an American I couldn’t agree more. We have some spectacular winding and undulating racetracks in to the natural landscape: Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio, Watkins Glen, VIR, Laguna Seca as well as Road America
Aged like milk. Just like the criticism of Vegas 😂🤣
I like the idea of having more races in the US, but quite disappointed when the Miami track was announced a few years ago, and I have not enjoyed the weekends raced there. Then along comes Las Vegas. Two tracks that, in my opinion, can only have come about with more interest in revenue than the sport of F1 Racing.
great video! quick question, what’s the car mod that you’re using for the final hotlap?
Used what I had installed, the 2022 Formula Hybrid
racesimstudio.com/formula-hybrid-2022
The race is not in Wisconsin because rural areas are not considered for travelling for the rich. But investors care about whales, thus all novel F1 entries are metropolitan street circuits or smack onto its adjacent desert.
In the game f1 2023 I became desperate for a traditional track after starting the season off with a bunch of street circuits coming to a head with the Miami GP. I really hated driving that track, sector 2 in particular
„They designed a slow sector just so they can see the cars inbetween the tweaking“ 😭😭😭 I’m rolling
I’ve been watching f1 videos for a few years and yours is the best l’ve seen so far.l love your style and the tone you use.l wish someone can forward it to someone who can then send it to manager’s driver or a driver 🤞.
Road American has no hotels maybe 3 motels. It’s located in the wilderness. Has no airports that are close. The weather is like spa only colder. It is however a great track. But there is no money to be made. You put 25 thousand people and it’s over crowded. Good luck with that idea.
Another American here. I don't know what to say except "I'm sorry".
As a Miami native, I’d like to let you guys know that the race isn’t even in the city of Miami. Hell, it’s barely even in Miami-Dade county. It’s literally in Miami-Gardens which is the northernmost point of the county, much closer to broward which is the next county over.
There is a bad a** open wheel series that races that road America… IndyCar.They'll be there in the summertime
I wanna go to Road America for IMSA this year.
I had a blast, it was an intense race. Definitely going next year. Miami gp is being newer fan base like me. Let’s Czech #11
I'm American and there are plenty of great tracks they can race on in the US. Just a few changes to make them grade 1 and done. But the cities they're located in "don't fit" F1
As an American I feel embarrassed by how we look at these US GPs. Especially when fans boo people like Verstappen who are incredible drives and deserve praise more than anything. F1 is in a poor place but I hope they can get back on the right track and make everything enjoyable again and get rid of the DRS crutch shit.
The race was fun to watch though
As an American I am embarrassed by the Miami shite show. As an F1 sim racer I hate the track, it is boring with no grip in the corners that do exist.
I agree I absolutely don’t like Miami. It’s not a fun track to drive at all.
Thanks for your opinion, looking forward to the report about Monaco. It is a bit of a cage parade.
Ironic how everything you just said about the track and socialites also applies to Monaco.
I have been to all three Miami races and found the races exciting. Have you actually been to a race?
I just can't wait for the american football tunnel entrance. -_-
You just earned my subscription
😊
Races like this help f1 become more popular, which means better product in the end. If you want the product you seem to desire, there are other tracks and events
track sucks ..agree. in general tho, f1 cars are horrible for overtaking so this is nothing new.
As a South African, it's disappointing to see this shit show of a track take precedence over Kyalami.
They needed to bring Vietnam GP back it's a shame they were quick to not even give it a chance.
I do not like Miami. You said what i wanted road America and road Atlanta
Been an F1 fan since 1968. The Miami circuit is absolutely the worst track i have seen. All the drivers hate the track and the phony Miami culture.
I think I can speak for most americans here, we don't claim the miami grand prix.
after watching F-1 Sprint: my buddy - Miami sucks him: the city or the track layout?
me: both
You are so right, one more point Americans want their type of racing if you really watch Indycar of Nascar they are not racing, more like demolition derby. Formula 1 has worked to hard to make the racing safe for drivers and entertaining without crashes. When I watch Nascar and because a race cannot end on a yellow flag some races have taken multiple final laps because of crashes bringing out the yellow. I have yet to watch an American race series that does not rely on multiple crashes to bring in the crowds. F1 is using celebrities to pull in the crowds. Drive to survive has given the American public a tainted look at what an F1 race is about, with clips that have nothing to do with the actual events they are discussing. F1 may have over reached and when American fans watch 90 minutes of good racing without the crashes they likely will focus on CRASHCAR series, that's Indycar and Nascar
Regardless of your reasons to not like Miami it is a fact that it has by far been the most entertaining race this year with plenty of passes battles and max losing nothing is more enjoyable than hearing something other than the Dutch anthem every damn week
The outcome of the race result has nothing to do with my main points in the video. All I said was that there too much focus on the event and not on the racing, there is only 1 racing line in sector 1, which Kmag and Logan proved, and that basically all overtakes are on the straights and that the bridge section is a disaster.
The race was good in terms of results, but nothing happened for 57 laps. The only reason you got the Safety Car and a Norris win, was because Max ran over the bollard and caused the Safety Car. Without that, you would see Max win again and the race itself and the result would have been boring.
Adding also in the f1 23 game this track is probably the worst
It’s a shit track. I hate driving Miami.
Love it, thanks :)
I agree with the comments ! The track should be the wuao!!!!.
Non of urban city tracks are the deal.
Keep Belgium ,Italy ,Japan ,
Uk ,Germany as the
real deal!!! UAE looks nice designs
The corporate circus
Great and informative video. Love the accent. (edit. Swedish? Would never have guessed it. Maybe northern Sweden? Not to doxx :) But sounds so Soumi to me)
Thank you! 😊
Haha, I actually regulate my accent when recording to not sound overly "Swenglish" and I try to keep it neutral. Dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing yet 😅
Upgrading Road America to F1/FIA standards would ruin the facility. F1 deserves Miami and Vegas. This is probably the best explanation of why Miami sucks, certainly better than I could put into words. America does not deserve two races, never mind more than that.
As an American, I HATE this race. It's only purpose is to promote the elites who could care less about it or the "little" people who DO care about F1. It is embarrassing . Plus they march out Danica, who whenever she is on I mute the TV. If they want more women involved, then have Bernie Collins on more. She is brilliant and actually knows what she is talking about. The whole thing is a waste of time.
your mind set made me sub finally someone that thinks this and vegas are just social media race events F1 cars are meant for track for people that actually knows what racing is about, yes yes yes i know to promote the F1 blah blah but we dont need clueless people in the sport
It’s all a business, F1 is the pinnacle of the Motorsports so there is a lot of eyes on the US GPs. It’s whatever to me about the driver intros and the celebrities walking around, I know that they are there because it’s good press. With the popularity of DTS in America, it makes sense that F1 would capitalize on the US GPs.
Cannot believe how much I love your straightforward honesty
As an American living in Wisconsin and just watched lando win. This analysis is wrong.
Yeah sure buddy, when Lando himself says "I won but overtook nobody" the analysis is wrong. The outcome of the race has nothing to do with the racing itself. Without this result out of nowhere, nothing happened in the race which was exactly my point.
I have never seen someone bring this kind of energy to Monaco. Idc about heritage when Miami is a better version of it . I don’t been like Miami but I’d that race over Monaco with how boring Monaco is.
Add Strol to all this...😂😂😂
39 seconds in you got a subscriber. These celebrities showing up, to over shadow the actual racing ( or the lack thereof), give me gas. Get The blank off the damn track. It belongs to the drivers.
Formula One at Road America or Mid Ohio would be amazing.
But the most evil track in, not just America , but the world, is in Sonoma, California.
Every corner is off camber. That track is a complete timing track. There are no real easy indicators on that track. I hate to watch races on it, but as a race car driver, only the best can win there. It is one of the most ultimately challenging tracks in the world.
Anything is better then the fake axx toilet that is the Miami track.
The fake marina is the best part. Insanety.
I live in the states and have been watching F1 since the late 90's and when they went to Nascar style car numbering F1 really hasn't held my interest.
I prefer WEC or Rally at this point.
The United States GP should have been an awesome, glorious track; they have the budget for that and talent for it's design. Why this ain't the case yet, it baffles me.
COTA is.
2 minutes in before I realised the footage was from the game 😂
The race should be through the city. Also, the narrator hit the nail on the head.
Miami is filled with fakes . Also, that DJ Khalid does represent Miami
Its not a race anymore, so BORING
Hahahaha good one! You are so right about the track you suggested, high speed drivers circuit! 👍🏼
They need to add weight to the Redbull cars, then we will have some fun 😂.
America gets a lot of slack cause of nascar, but they’ve got a lot of great road tracks, I would love to see road America in f1, incredible circuit
Also fuck Miami, abysmal circuit
you can't pass there in f1 and the max just pulls away out to a untouchable lead in the first 10 laps and then holds on to it while the other drivers are fighting for 5 place almost a minute behind the leader
take miami away and bring back Indianapolis
Ahhhhhh the intro trash talking to this video took every word out of my mouth.
Leave it to America to take away the focus on the race with all these celebrities and trash. Thanks for sharing the truth about Miami.
You are 100% correct. Vegas is a shit show as well.
Area 27 Motorpark in British Columbia Canada would be wayyyy better than both Road America and Miami.
Totally agree with you
4:05 why we can't go to Wisconsin is a easy to answer question... Money.
Sadly :/
There is literally no good reason for this race at this location... none.
Money
I agree with your assessment. Road America, Watkins Glen, or Monterey would be much better.
lol mad, its actually good
ALL street circuits suck. Why aren't they at Road America?
Will the chance of "off line " overtaking ever happen at that Miami track?doesn't if " bed in,down" if they hold more types of racing,other formulas,getting that rubber down,or is that it then ,Miama race track is shite forever,why have it there,change the arena .
maybe a Swedish race they should have
We had one in the 70s, but its been nearly 46 years since the last one, Anderstorp Raceway is the name of it.
EPIC REPORT ... and 100% accurate
Yesterday's race was the best Miami grand prix to date tho 🤷🏿♂️
It was a good outcome and result for Lando, but the overall racing and track dynamics was shit.
This didn't age well
ASHSHHASHAHA I CAN'TTTT
only thing i can say is: ECS spittin fax, celebrities spit cu-
I dont get these takes. Could be said for all street circuits
Tell me what track in f1 producess great racing or competition. It's not the tracks. It's the cars that are the problem. They're not equal in technology. F1 racing at Road America wouldn't make a difference. The top cars would just pull away. Indycars race on street tracks that only have 1 long straight away, entering turn 1 like St. Pete and Long Beach, but drivers still make passes in other corners and still produce great close racing because the closer the cars are, drivers can apply pressure on other drivers and force them to make mistakes. Until f1 can close the gap between the powerful teams and the rest, f1 will be the same, dominated by powerful, well financed teams. Also, a track that has or lacks character? LOL😂
It's one big shift show and embarrassment as an American, the way they gouged the public. 👎
Laguna seca would be fine as well
I agree, the Miami GP is just a visual show for overstimulated Americans who show a confused face every time hearing B-Ball in the team radio. We are in for another snoring contest and we'll be probably awaken by hearing the Netherlands anthem - thankfully the Imola is after.
.
On the channel's note - it was recommended to me yesterday and it earned an instant sub and like, awesome format, good comments, very good reasoning. I really hope it will go big soon :D
Yeah, sucks that its a sprint weekend too, 2 races of boredom 😅
And thank you for the nice feedback, I appreciate it 👍
I get what you’re saying but at this point it might be a necessary evil. F1 is trying to pull in the US market, more money for F1 in theory means an overall better racing series. It’s a given these tracks are going to be worse than the already established tracks in Europe and Asia that have had ages to refine them in comparison.
Nobody wants to travel to Wisconsin 😂
Small tight, hmm like monaco? Slowest the cars go
I don't like street circuts in general.
Anyone tired of all these street and parking lot courses?
One massive thing you don’t realize with road America like a lot of euros can’t seem to understand is that the track isn’t wide enough, can’t facilitate an F1 race due to the size of coverage, spectators, teams, etc and not to mention it couldn’t pass the FIA saftey regulations for F1 nor F2, the circuit can only go as high as Indycar and F3, both not even close to F1
Like your comment ,i agree,why not south africa kyalami
