Miami Grand Prix organisers are confident the new track surface will now improve over time, after it elected not to waterblast it ahead of last weekend’s Formula 1 race.The asphalt at the Hard Rock Stadium track was re-laid by circuit specialists Tilke for this year’s Miami Grand Prix, following problems in the inaugural 2022 event.

I think this climate with the sun and the humidity, and some other things will affect the track but, as it ages, it's supposed to get better.” Max Verstappen“I think it improved quite a bit over the weekend,” said the Red Bull driver. “I was a little bit afraid, of course, with the rain that it would be a bit worse, but most places were quite okay.
