The Miami international Autodrome will host its inaugural grand prix on Sunday, having been designed in the campus of the challenging Rock Stadium.

The circuit has drawn concept from a few traditional F1 corners, and combines high-pace portions with long straights and a slow-pace, undulating part coming into the 2d sector.

but the chicane within the gradual-speed part has been a website for a couple of spins and errors throughout the weekend so far. it's designed to bring the velocity of the cars down as they go below the highway that goes over the tune.

whereas Ricciardo turned into commonly fine in regards to the song design, announcing it became "not like any circuit" and the designers had done a "respectable job" making whatever thing unique, he felt the slow-pace section become a little bit too tight.

"The Mickey Mouse stuff is a bit too Mickey Mouse, I feel," Ricciardo talked about.

"These cars are only so big at the present time, and that i consider i have been quoted earlier than as announcing the tracks are not getting any wider however the automobiles are. So this is surely a case where it's quite tight in some locations.

"It changed into constructed around a stadium so it's now not like there may be an open plan to do everything, so i'm certain there are some restrictions on what they could do."

Ricciardo's McLaren teammate Lando Norris pointed out he additionally enjoyed the ordinary song design and that it had "respectable capabilities", but felt the chicane turned into "hit or miss".

however Norris liked the should safely go beneath the toll road supposed it was no longer plausible to without problems take out the turn 14-15 chicane.

"i have been told or not it's now not feasible on account of the bridge that goes over the top," Norris stated.

"The cars are simplest allowed at a undeniable speed, so therefore they had to put in a chicane. i am informed there become a reason they needed to put it in. So possibly we're kind of stuck with it.

"i hope no longer. i'm bound there may be another manner round it. but as Daniel observed, I don't consider there's plenty of ways round it."

AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly found the design to be "basically fun", albeit "a bit too bumpy" in areas, and made the same element in regards to the chicane, comparing it to method E.

"flip 1, turn 3, turn 5, it be just reasonably bumpy, however then after that, I in fact just like the high-velocity section," Gasly spoke of.

"you could cut over the kerbs and raise quite a lot of velocity there, via there it's fairly first-class.

"i am now not a enormous fan of that system E chicane, very tight chicane there. I select high-pace corners, notably with the automobiles that we now have.

"however universal, I must say it be a extremely cool song to pressure on."

Lewis Hamilton posted on his Instagram account after qualifying: "I really basically like this track [in] Miami. Chicane is the best thing that can also be more suitable however in any other case, adore it!"
