Miami GP president Tyler Epp acknowledges the commercial impact was immediately evident when the announcement was made. Hamilton's influence extends beyond racing, with his status as a global ambassador for motorsport combining powerfully with Ferrari's prestigious brand presence in South Florida.

The event organizers are introducing one-day grandstand tickets for the 2025 race, responding to fan demands for more flexible attendance options. This change reflects their commitment to adapting to spectator needs while maintaining the race's unique Miami character.

The Grand Prix continues to see steady growth, particularly in the South Florida market. The addition of year-round motorsport events at the circuit, integrated with the existing football and stadium schedule, has helped strengthen local engagement. The event's success is driven by strong attendance from South Florida, Latin America, and the broader United States market.

Epp emphasizes that Formula 1's allowance for Miami to maintain its distinct identity has been crucial to its success. The race's ability to express local culture while delivering a world-class F1 experience has resonated strongly with fans, contributing to its sustained growth and popularity.
