The Miami Grand Prix has announced an expansion of the Paddock Club hospitality with a new extension overlooking Turns 1, 2 and 3 at the Miami International Autodrome.
The major development was officially announced by Tom Garfinkel, managing partner of the Miami Grand Prix, during the final panel of the Autosport Business Exchange Miami today.
Stretching from the start/finish straight down to Turn 1, the new 115,000-square-foot extension will provide fans with tiered seating and views over Turns 1, 2 and 3. The three-storey building will be introduced in 2027.
"The expansion of our Paddock Club is another example of innovation and investment in our event and growing Formula 1 in the United States," Garfinkel said.
"We wanted to not only make the Paddock Club bigger to meet demand, but differentiate the experience into something new and unique."

Once the extension is completed, the Miami International Autodrome's total Paddock Club footprint will increase to an impressive 305,000 square feet, including a rooftop terrace. This means that over 9,200 guests will be accommodated in the hospitality area, making it one of the biggest Paddock Clubs on the F1 calendar.
The upgrades will also include the Precision Drive Club, which is a bespoke, permanent space for the exclusive members' organisation. The Precision Drive Club will include facilities such as a workshop with access to the pitlane, coaching and simulator labs, race control, a private members' lounge and meeting rooms.
The Paddock Club extension will sit among multiple different viewing options for fans, including the Heineken Silver Veranda, the Hard Rock Beach Club, the new MSC Yacht Club, the Podium Club and Vista at Turn 1.
The Miami Grand Prix signed a contract extension with F1 to remain on the calendar until 2041.
