Formula One and the organizers of a Miami Grand Prix planned for 2021 have changed the proposed layout and race schedule after objections from local residents worried about excessive noise and air pollution. The revised track still winds around the Miami Dolphins NFL team’s Hard Rock Stadium but cuts out a street whose use residents had feared would cause traffic disruption. “We want these events to benefit everyone in the region, including local Miami Gardens residents,” he added. Formula One is keen to expand in the United States, a key market which currently has only one grand prix at a purpose-built track in Austin, Texas. This year’s record 22-race calendar features a new grand prix in Vietnam and the return of the Dutch Grand Prix for the first time since 1985.
