Miami’s third year hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix found a happy medium after a promising inaugural year and a second year characterized by softer ticket sales and logistical challenges.

A sold-out crowd of 275,799 watched McLaren’s Lando Norris win his first F1 race Sunday at the 2024 Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix. Those numbers failed to beat the 315,000 fans who descended upon the rival F1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas, but they bested the 270,000 who showed up in Miami last year.
