Sprint format makes Miami Grand Prix a hotter ticket
Khaleej Times
|May 02, 2025
Miami Grand Prix President Tyler Epp speaks with the enthusiasm of a convert as the circuit around the Hard Rock Stadium prepares to host a Formula One sprint race for the second year in a row this weekend.

Last season he had some doubts about the format, with its sole practice session ahead of sprint qualifying and a 100km race paying out points on Saturday followed by the main attraction on Sunday.
“I couldn’t have been more wrong,” he told Reuters. "(CEO) Tom (Garfinkel) was absolutely right and the rest of the team here was right.
"I wasn’t sure it was going to be additive to what we were doing. I was very comfortable with the power of qualifying on Saturday and the traditional way that Formula One operates. But it has been a real positive for us.
“We've seen a differentiated experience on Friday, Saturday and Sunday now really being meaningful to our fans. We're proud and excited to host a sprint race again.”
