F1 seek to hold street race in Miami

Ross described Miami as'a first class global city and said it would be the perfect place for F1

Formula 1 has announced a proposal to host a future race in the city of Miami for the 2019 season.

Among the stakeholders is USA businessman Stephen Ross, the principal owner of the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium.

But the Dutch report suggests Formula One - which was sold to new owners for $4.4 billion two years ago and aims to expand more into the United States - is already preparing to set up shop in South Florida next season.

The Miami Herald website reported a 10-year deal was under consideration, with the Commission due to meet on May 10 to authorise city manager Emilio Gonzalez to negotiate a contract by July 1.

"Miami's status as one of the world's most iconic and glamorous cities, combined with its robust tourism infrastructure, makes Miami the ideal destination for Formula 1 and its fans", said Sean Bratches, F1's managing director for commercial operations.

A vote in favour of hosting a leg of the Formula One World Championship would effectively make the race a formality.

AAA offers Tipsy Tow for Cinco de Mayo
Santa Rosa police reported that in 2016, on average someone died every 50 minutes in a drunk-driving crash. On Cinco de Mayo weekend, that equaled 51 lives lost in drunk-driving crashes in the nation.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez called next week's vote "the first step" to working out details, with a final vote more possible over the summer.

Ross, 77, owns the Miami Dolphins NFL team and the team's home at the Hard Rock Stadium north of Miami.

When asked by Motorsport.com about the push for the race in Miami - which could be added as early as 2019 - Carey reassured F1's fans that new grands prix would not come at the expense of core European races. On Wednesday morning, Formula One confirmed that the organization wants to work out an agreement with the city.

"From football and soccer to tennis and motorsports, Miami deserves only the best in music, food, art, fashion, and sports and entertainment, and that is exactly what we plan on delivering with a Formula 1 race", Ross said. The US was barred from the F1 extravaganza from 2008 until 2012. A Miami street race would be the first F1 street race in the US since 1991 in Phoenix.

Liberty Media have long desired to grow their brand in the United States and see this as the ideal opportunity.

But the Azerbaijan Grand Prix victor was keen to reiterate that his side are continuing to make improvements to their auto during this week off racing.
