How F1 Took Over Miami's Hard Rock Stadium

Event Planning & Execution - Formula 1 initially desired a downtown Miami race with yacht views for television appeal [1] - The Miami race organizers created an artificial water scene using plywood to mimic Monaco's yacht aesthetic [2] - The artificial water scene went viral, initially drawing criticism but later embraced as part of the event's fun and unserious nature [3] - The Hard Rock Stadium was not originally built for F1, requiring the racetrack to be constructed around existing infrastructure [3] - Temporary infrastructure, such as tennis courts, were rapidly converted for the race, involving 24-hour shifts [4]
