The race will be run in Miami Gardens, some 30km north of the iconic Miami Beach.

The circuit is built around the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League and centre court for the Miami Open tennis tournament.

Dolphins chief executive officer Tom Garfinkel is the promoter of the GP.

“The circuit construction is progressing in line with expectations, and now that we have our date confirmed with Formula One, we can rapidly follow up with revealing more of the detail of the experience that will be enjoyed at the trackside,” said the chief executive of the GP, Richard Cregan.

“We look forward to embracing an entirely new global sporting occasion.”

The US has hosted a GP in Austin, Texas since 2012, but Formula One is looking to gain more of a foothold in the land of IndyCar and Nascar.

The Miami GP will be the first race in Florida since the inaugural US Grand Prix at Sebring International Raceway in 1959 when Jack Brabham ran out of petrol 400m from the finish and had to push his car across the line to secure the world championship.

Miami will be the 11th US Formula One site after Sebring, Riverside in Los Angeles, Watkins Glen in New York State, Long Beach in California, Las Vegas, Detroit, Dallas, Phoenix, Indianapolis and Austin.

The provisional 2022 calendar contains a record 23 races, although it needs to be ratified by the World Motor Sport Council on Oct 15.
