This is also one of the best places to spot celebrities on race weekend outside of Paddock Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important<\/strong>: Miami is unusual in that the podium ceremony is not<\/em> visible from the Main Grandstand. It takes place at the opposite end of Hard Rock Stadium, so fans will need to watch it on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covered: Yes (partially)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Screen: Yes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beach Grandstands – North and South – are among the most popular at the Miami Grand Prix. Both sit within a compact stadium-style environment with great views of the Beach Club videoboards showing live performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the \u201cparty\u201d grandstands, home to the most energetic fans, including the Red Bull Racing Fan Club. The North Grandstand wraps around Turn 12, while the South sits at the end of the back straight before Turn 11, overlooking the circuit\u2019s best overtaking zone as cars brake from 330 km\/h to under 100 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The famous Miami Marina with its painted-on water is a feature for which this track is well know – you can imagine you’re in Monaco! There are three grandstands located in the Marina section, which line the fast-corner complex of turns 6, 7, and 8. These stands are best for views of cars at medium to high speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The McLaren Fan Club is located in the North Marina Grandstand – if you\u2019re in Miami to support Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, this is the place for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This zone is located very close to the Marina and Promenade campus areas.<\/p>\n\n\n

There are two grandstands in this section: the North which sits at the very end of the main straight, overlooking turn 1, and the South located on turn 1 itself. These grandstands can be found in the North Campus. They offer racegoers a great view of the main straight and the first turn where there is a potential overtaking zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The North Grandstand<\/strong> provides a great view of the cars on the start\/finish straight as they head into a braking zone before the first corner and accelerate into turns 2 and 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Grandstand<\/strong> seats offer mainly fence-free views from the lower rows. Watch from tantalising proximity as the cars tackle the sharp turn 1. This is a great spot for overtaking, especially at the start of the race when all 20 cars pile into turn 1. <\/p>\n\n\n
