Formula 1 will race in Miꩲami for the first time this weekend at the Miami International Autodꦦrome.

Miami will be on the F1 calendar for the next 10 years as the sport continues its impꦉressive mark on America since Netflix's Drive to Survive in 2018. 

This weeke🐬nd's Miami GP has been likened to the Superbowl with the glitz and glamour on show.

The track layout is fast-paced and favours a low do✤wnforce setup which may play iꦆnto Red Bull's hands.

Red Bull hasn't introduced any upgrad⛦es for this weekend while rivals Ferrari has a 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.

Sev♍en-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton struggled to 13th after being stuck behind AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly for much of the race at Imola.

Mercedes have introd🐲uced a new rear wing as well as a beam wing while making changes to the W꧙13’s front wing endplate.

It wants to reduce the drag leꦍvels the W13 is curren🐼tly producing with low downforce and straight-line speed crucial around this new Miami circuit.

Speaking ahead of𒀰 Friday practice, Hamilton doubted the impact Mercedes’ upgrades may have on their outright perfor🌺mance.

“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 grateful for everyone keeping their heads down and for the amazing hard work that everyo𝐆ne is putting in.

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

McLaren will be hoping to continue its upward trajectory after Lando Norris finished third at ♒Imola but Alfa Romeo and Alpine have shown i♍mpressive pace in recent rounds.

In terms of the off-track action, a storm is brewing with regard to Ham൲ilton's jewellery.

The FIA has taken a tougher st⛎ance over the wearing of jewellery, with new F1 race director Niels Wittich informing all the teams that additional checks would be included as 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 earring♛s, a bracelet and three watches - suggesting once again he has no plans to change his stance.
