June Date Likely For 2022 F1 Miami Grand Prix

• Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali plans to keep the two U.S. races at Austin and Miami several months apart on the F1 calendar in 2022.

• At the announcement in Imola that the Miami GP was going to become a reality for 2022, it was also announced that Miami was going to be held in the second quarter of 2022.

• It is likely the race will be paired on the schedule with the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, which this year is slated for June 13.

By all indications, Formula 1 plans to keep the two U.S. races several months apart on the 2022 calendar.

The FIA and Formula 1 announced at Imola, Italy, that, despite the on-off saga of the proposed Miami Grand Prix over the past few years, Formula 1 will indeed head to Florida next year. And F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali added that Miami and the existing U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, will be kept separate on the race calendar.

"The date (for Miami) will be in the second quarter of next year," Domenicali said at Imola. "We have always said that the United States is a key market in which we must develop our business. There are a lot of opportunities to be seized and having two races in the United States is the right direction for our strategy for the future."

Currently, Austin is scheduled to host its 2021 race October 24, kicking off a subsequent trek to two other regional events in the Americas at Mexico and Brazil. Therefore, a summer date for Miami next year, paired with Canada, is likely. Canadian medial outlets Le Journal de Montreal has projected that the Miami race will take place in June, just after Montreal.
