The roads are about to get roughed up in the 305.
Over the long May 1-3 weekend, the F1 Miami Grand Prix will whizz into the heart of “The Magic City” for three days of heart-pounding, pearl-clutching elite racing.
And if you want to be there to see Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren duke it out live in the first F1 race on U.S. soil in 2026, last-minute tickets are still available.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on three-day passes at Miami International Autodrome’s 3.63-mile track was $1,331 including fees on StubHub.
Two-day passes start at $1,916 including fees.
Yes, really can save almost $600 (!) by buying a three-day pass instead of two.
Prior to this high-octane showdown, F1 cancelled the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix due to the current U.S.-Iran conflict.
Thus, only three races have taken place so far and perennial champ Max Verstappen didn’t place on the podium in any of them.
New regulations in the sport have led to changes that make the cars half-electric/half-fuel, which has led to hiccups from drivers like slowness (to be fair, when we say “slowness,” we mean “slowness by incredible speed racing standards”).
Those who have adapted best to the changes are Mercedes and Ferrari who “essentially built rocket ships” according to Post F1 superfan Angela Tricarico. In the first three Grand Prix of the year, Mercedes’ George Russell and Kimi Antonelli have ran away with wins.
Still, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri (who won the F1 Miami Grand Prix in ’25) and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have been hot on their tails all year long.
Throw in the fact that this weekend’s festivities are the first home race for U.S.-based Cadillac, a Sunday night 50 Cent concert and dozens of celebrities scouring the grounds and you’ve got a thrilling weekend of F1 ahead of you.
