Strategy: C2, C3 and C4 tyres have been allocated for this weekend, the same as last year's Miami Grand Prix. A one-stop strategy was the preferred strategy in 2022, although, at approximately 20 seconds, the pit-loss to change tyres at the Miami International Autodrome is below the season average.

Safety Cars: Last year's race featured one Safety Car and one Virtual Safety Car. There are plenty of walls and barriers close to the track increasing the likelihood of an interruption during the race. Every race so far in 2023 has featured at least one SC or VSC intervention.

Overtaking: There are three DRS zones, the first two of which have been shortened by 75 metres this year. There were 45 passes made in last year's race, with 17 taking place at the race start and restart. Turn 11 is the preferred spot for passing.

3. The most Formula 1 World Championship races staged in one country in a single season, something that has only ever happened three times. This year, that's the case in the United States, with the Miami Grand Prix followed by the United States GP at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas and the penultimate round of the championship, the Las Vegas GP. In 1982, the USA also staged three races, at Long Beach, Detroit and Las Vegas, the latter at a completely different track to this year's race. In 2020, there were three rounds in Italy at Monza, Mugello (which coincided with the Scuderia's 1000th GP) and Imola.

5. The number of major American sports leagues and Miami is involved in all of them. The Dolphins play in the NFL (National Football League) and have won two Super Bowls in 1972 and 1973, along with five American Football Conference wins (1971, 1972, 1973, 1982 and 1984); Heat plays in the NBA (National Basketball Association) with three titles won (2005-06; 2011-12 and 2012-13). The Florida Panthers play in the city in the NHL (National Hockey League), getting to the final of the Stanley Cup in 1996. In MLB (Major League Baseball) the city is represented by the Marlins who won the title in 1997 and 2003 and finally in football (MLS, Major League Soccer), there's Inter Miami who made it to the first round of the playoffs last year.

21. Circuits currently in use in Florida: of course the best known are Daytona, Sebring (which hosted the United States Grand Prix in 1959) and Homestead. In total, there are 14 ovals, six road courses and the venue for this weekend's Grand Prix running around the Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami International Autodrome.

45. The number of overtaking moves in the inaugural Miami Grand Prix. Last year, Scuderia Ferrari locked out the front row in qualifying, with both drivers making it to the podium on Sunday - Charles second and Carlos third.

470,000. The population of Miami. The biggest city in Florida in terms of population is Jacksonville, near the border with Georgia, with 907,000 inhabitants. Florida is the third most populous state in the USA and its capital is Tallahassee with a population of just under 200,000.
