Formula 1 will race in Miami ꧂for the first time this weekend at the Miami Internatio🃏nal Autodrome.

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

This weekend's Mಌiami GP has been likened toဣ the Superbowl with the glitz and glamour on show.

🤡The track layout is 💦fast-paced and favours a low downforce setup which may play into Red Bull's hands.

Red Bull hasn't introduced any upgrades for this weekend while rivals Ferrari has a new, low downf♍orce, rear rin🎀g.

In a bid 🎉to tꦅurn 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 a♓fter making a storming start.

Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton stru꧃ggled to 13th after being stuck behind AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly for much of the race at Imola.

Mer♏cedes have introduced a new rear wing as well as a beam wing 💫while making changes to the W13’s front wing endplate.

It wants🐼 to reduce the drag levels the W13 is currently produc𒀰ing with low downforce and straight-line speed crucial around this new Miami circuit.

Speaking 🔯ahead of Friday practice, Hamilton doubted the impact Mercedes’ upgrades may have on their outright performance.

“You can expect that we will be giving it our all,” Hamilton said. “We’ve been tryཧing our best and there’s been a huge amount of wo🌠rk 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 everyone 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 thi♏rd at Imola but Alfa Romeo and Alpine hav🙈e shown impressive pace in recent rounds.

In terms of the off-traജck action, a storm is brewing with regard to Hamilton's jewelle🌠ry.

The FIA has taken a tougher stance over the wearing of jewelle⛄ry, with new F1 race director Niels Wittich informing all the teams that additiona♓l 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, insis🌺ting that his𝕴 earrings and nose stud cannot physically be removed. 

The seven-ti🧸me woꩲrld champion arrived at the pre-event press conferences in Miami on Friday decked out in jewellery, including eight rings, four necklaces, two earrings, a bracelet and three watches - suggesting once again he has no plans to change his stance.
