THE CIRCUIT, SECTOR BY SECTOR
19 corners across 5.412 km — segment-by-segment, compared to their cousins on the calendar.
An atypical street layout of 5.412 km running anti-clockwise around the Hard Rock Stadium. Three long straights, a high-speed middle sector through the palm-tree section, and a tight chicane tucked under the I-95 overpass. Miami punishes setup more than almost any other street circuit on the calendar.
Opening brake zone
They arrive at 320+ km/h down the main straight and brake for T1, a medium-speed right-hander. T2 is a left-hand kink that opens up the exit toward T3. The braking isn't the lap's heaviest (T17 is), but the T1-T2 line dictates the carry-speed through the fast section that follows.
