Lewis Hamilton offers his help to improve the Miami track

While a vote takes place this Thursday at the municipal level to move the file forward, the Briton says he is ready to offer his advice in order to improve the route.

« Miami is a super cool city, said Hamilton from the Barcelona paddock. I was really excited when I heard about the project, and then I saw the layout. I don't want to draw any hasty conclusions before having had a spin behind the wheel, but if there is still time and my opinion or those of the other drivers are asked, I am convinced that we can provide a relevant vision and improve things.

I know Miami well and there are better places to install the track, for example. The idea of ​​having a city circuit like the one in Valencia (scene of a not really memorable European Grand Prix from 2008 to 2012, editor's note) worries me a little because it wasn't an excellent urban route. That said, there is always an element of randomness and perhaps this provisional route will be a hit ».

Miami is one of Liberty Media's target destinations to receive the F1 just like Hanoi in Vietnam and Copenhagen in Denmark. The Florida city will already host a fan festival this season, ahead of the United States Grand Prix which takes place in Austin, Texas.

Today got a first look at a potential map for @F1 in @downtownMIA. Most of course is in the port with a loop around AAArena. Would you like to see #Miami become a stop on the Formula One circuit? pic.twitter.com/sOY08hJ5yM
