Williams Racing is Stateside for the third edition of the Miami Grand Prix.

Racing around the Hard Rock Stadium makes for a unique setting with 5.41km of track, 19 corners and three DRS Zones for the drivers to enjoy.

Here are five points for Williams Racing fans to focus on during our race weekend.

Home sweet home

For Sarge, the Miami Grand Prix brings about familiar settings.

Our American racer grew up in Fort Lauderdale, a 20-minute drive away from the Miami International Autodrome, making this weekend’s GP comfortably his home venue.

It is one of three races in the United States in which Logan flies the star spangled banner for the fans, though this hits even closer to home for F1's No2.

Miami Fan Zone

Our 2024 Williams Racing Fan Zone World Tour has had a brilliant turnout after its first two appearances in Melbourne and Tokyo. Now Miami is up next!

At the free-to-enter event, presented by Kraken, you can check out the FW46 show car up close, test yourself on our simulator experiences, browse merchandise, win prizes, and so much more.

We will be open all week at 700 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139, so make sure to pay us a visit!

Finding the Fan Zone...

Back-to-back Sprint

After debuting for the 2024 Formula 1 season in Shanghai, the F1 Sprint is back, this time for its first appearance at the 305.

The 100km dash makes for an intriguing spectacle as our drivers have an extra opportunity to pick up our maiden points.

It also makes up the only back-to-back Sprint rounds that will feature on the calendar this year.

For those who missed out on the Chinese GP, our Formula 1 Sprint Guide provides a round-up of all the revisions for the 2024 season.

Catch Lia Block

If you are in town for the race there will also be an opportunity to catch our Williams Racing Academy star Lia Block in action.

The 17-year-old American, racing with ART Grand Prix, is set for round two of the F1 Academy campaign, which champions the next generation of female motorsport talent.

Lia has two practice sessions in the morning on Friday before Qualifying takes place on Saturday, which is followed by race 1 and then on Sunday, race 2.

It is the perfect chance for fans to see the future generation of Williams Racing, plus another opportunity to cheer on a home favourite.

Sweet Miami merch

To celebrate our return to the 305, we have an all-new Puma Race Collection.

Inspired by the Art Deco District scene, this release includes a pin-striped cap and ice cream Williams-branded t-shirt, both featuring the bright pastel colours that are synonymous with Miami.

It makes for the perfect way to show your support for Williams Racing and to get you looking the part for the weekend ahead.
