Williams Formula 1 driver Alex Albon discussed the evolution of the Miami Grand Prix, and how the event at the Hard Rock Stadium has grown on him over the years.

The Miami Grand Prix was introduced to the F1 line-up in 2022 and has since been handed a contract extension, which will keep it on the calendar until 2041.

During a Williams video with former F1 driver David Coulthard, Albon explained about the growth of the championship in the United States: "It's amazing. It's changed so much. But to be honest with you, everyone is really friendly. I think Americans generally have a very positive demeanour.

"Honestly, Miami's warmed up to me a lot. The first year when we came to Miami, I don't know if it was just that it was the first year of Formula 1 coming here for, I don't know, ever. But just having that sense of it's a show, kind of what Vegas felt like in year one.

"But then as time has gone on, I feel like they've improved the structure of the races and just the teams, the way they've sorted themselves out coming to Miami as well. It's enjoyable now. I really enjoy it. And actually, we talk about this a lot, Lily and I, I think I could live here quite easily."
