    F1 Festival Zooms Into Miami With Test Runs, Mark Ronson and Diplo
    Jesse Scott | October 16, 2018 | 9:51am

    In South Florida, people who think they’re hotshots zoom by their fellow drivers on roads all the time.

    But this weekend, some actual hotshots in truly fast AF vehicles are coming to town to wow us all. The F1 Festival made its world debut earlier this year in Shanghai, subsequently hitting London; Marseille, France; and Milan, Italy.

    And now, Miami is set to host the final fest of the year.

    “It’s all about getting the younger generation and families into the F1 vibe,” says Charlotte Fourest, a consultant for the F1 Festival based in the South of France. “Everywhere we have been, people have been so impressed, getting to experience it all.”

    So, what exactly will you experience at the F1 Festival? Basically, everything that makes a Formula One race awesome — except a big ol' competitive race itself. From 3 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, October 20, there will be live car runs from Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and Renault Sport Formula One Team along Biscayne Boulevard. A handful of renowned drivers (names TBA) will also be on-site for interviews.

    “We have a lot of surprises for everyone, for drivers and performances,” Fourest says. “So, stay tuned, for sure.”

    Closing out Saturday, the new project between Mark Ronson and Diplo, known as Silk City, will rock Miami for the very first time. Sunday’s festivities are anchored by a live screening of the Formula 1 Pirelli 2018 United States Grand Prix, taking place in Austin, Texas.

    Throughout the weekend, if you want to feel the rush yourself, there will be F1 simulators and even a Pirelli Pit Stop Challenge, where you can try to change out a set of wheels as quickly as possible.

    There will also be grub and beverages galore to keep race fans happy at a Hard Rock Food Village and Heineken bar.

    Like the hella-fast rides that will soon own our streets, this weekend is sure to zoom by.

    But have no fear, the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix is well in the works for 2020. So you may want to take the festival for a spin this year (and maybe in 2019 too, according to Fourest) before the big race arrives in a couple of years.

    F1 Festival. Noon. Saturday, October 20, and Sunday, October 21, at Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; formula1.com. Admission is free.

    Now it may not happen at all?

    F1's 2020 Miami plans in tatters

    Miami's formula one plans are in tatters.

    Earlier, Liberty Media had targeted a street race on the South Florida coast, but those plans were delayed until 2020.

    "We aim to run the first Miami grand prix in 2020," F1 commercial boss Sean Bratches said in July.

    But now a dark cloud is hanging over those plans as well.

    Germany's DPA news agency reports that the Miami City Commission "voted unanimously" to "indefinitely" delay the F1 race contract negotiations.

    "According to media reports, this does not mean the Miami plans are at the end," the media report noted.

    At the most recent meeting of its World Motor Sport Council on Friday, the FIA, Formula 1's governing body, confirmed the calendar for the sport's 2019 season.

    There will be a record 21 grands prix, which will be only the third time in F1 history that such a high number has been held, the previous being in 2016 and the current 2018 season.

    Sadly, organizers of the proposed Miami Grand Prix weren't able to submit a sufficient bid in time for the 2019 season cutoff. And Miami could also miss out hosting a race in the 2020 season as there are rumors Vietnam already has an agreement in place for a new race.

    Below is the calendar for the 2019 Formula 1 World Championship:

    March 17 - Australian Grand Prix
    March 31 - Bahrain Grand Prix
    April 14 - Chinese Grand Prix
    April 28 - Azerbaijan Grand Prix
    May 12 - Spanish Grand Prix
    May 26 - Monaco Grand Prix
    June 9 - Canadian Grand Prix
    June 23 - French Grand Prix
    June 30 - Austrian Grand Prix
    July 14 - British Grand Prix
    July 28 - German Grand Prix
    August 4 - Hungarian Grand Prix
    September 1 - Belgian Grand Prix
    September 8 - Italian Grand Prix
    September 22 - Singapore Grand Prix
    September 29 - Russian Grand Prix
    October 13 - Japanese Grand Prix
    October 27 - Mexican Grand Prix
    November 3 - United States Grand Prix
    November 17 - Brazilian Grand Prix
    December 1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

    Note, some dates are still subject to change.

    In other motorsport news, Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher, secured the title for the 2018 Formula 3 European Championship at the final race held over the weekend at Germany's Hockenheimring. The title puts him in among a select band of racers, many that have gone on to F1 careers. The list includes current drivers Lewis Hamilton, Romain Grosjean, Nico Hülkenberg, Esteban Ocon and Lance Stroll.
