- Hamilton determined to help Mercedes ‘to get back to the front’
Lewis Hamilton has hailed the growth of Formula One in the United States as a remarkable success story for the sport, describing it as a dream for F1 to be racing again at the Miami Grand Prix. The British driver likely faces another trying weekend at the Hard Rock Stadium circuit this weekend but also reiterated his determination to help his Mercedes team return to the front of the grid.
This weekend’s Miami Grand Prix is the second time Formula One has been held in the city after the circuit made its debut last season. It is the first of three races in the US this season. The US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas will follow in October and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, taking place on the Strip and that being organised and promoted by the sport’s owners Liberty Media, will take place in November.
