Formula 1 will race in Miami for 🗹the first time this weekend at the Miami International Auto🌠drome.

Miam﷽i will be on the F1 calendar for the next 10 years as the sport continues its impressive mark🎀 on America since Netflix's Drive to Survive in 2018. 

This weekend⛦'s Miami GP has been likened to the Superbowl with the glitz and glamour on show.

The track layout is f𝓀ast-paced and favours a low downforce setup which may play into Red Bull's hands.

Red Bull hasn't introduced any upgrades for this weekend while rivals Ferrari has ဣa new, low downforce, rear ring.

🥃In a bid to turn their season around, Mercedes have brought new upgrades to Miami. 

Mercedes struggled last time🧔 out at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, although George Russell managed to salvage fourth after making a storming start.

Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton struggled to 13th af🌳ter being stuck behind AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly for much of the race at I꧙mola.

Mercedes have introduced a new rear wing as well as a beam wing while making changes to the W13’s front wing🌊 endplate.

It wants to reduce♊ the drag levels the Wও13 is currently producing with low downforce and straight-line speed crucial around this new Miami circuit.

Speaking ahead of Friday practice, Hamilton doubted the impact Mercedes’ upgrades may have on th💛eir outright performance.

“You can expect that we will be giving it our all,” Hamilton said. “We’ve been trying our best and there’s been a huge amount of work in the background. You can see we’ve got a new rear wing for example, so I’m just grat🌼eful for everyone keeping their heads dowꦿn and for the amazing hard work that everyone is putting in.

“I don’t anticipate much change in that sense.”

McLaren will be h🍨oping to continue its upwar💦d trajectory after Lando Norris finished third at Imola but Alfa Romeo and Alpine have shown impressive pace in recent rounds.

Inꦗ terms of the off-track action, a storm is brewing with regard🌳 to Hamilton's jewellery.

The FIA has taken a tougher stance over⛎ the wearing of jewellery, with new F1 race director Niels Wittich informing all the teams that additional checks would be included aꦇs part of the pre-event scrutineering declaration form.

Hamilton had previously stated he had no plans to comply with the regulation, insisting that his earrings and nose stud cannot ♒physically be removed. 

The seven-time world champion arrived at the pre-event press conferences in Miami on Friday decked out in jewellery, including eight rings, four necklaces, two earrings, a bracelet and three watches - suggesting once again he has no plans to change hiꦗs stan🔯ce.
