One of Liberty Media's proposals is to set in motion the prospect of a Miami Grand Prix, with the city commission having granted the approval to go ahead with the plans back in May. One dedicated Formula One fan has put together a mock-up of what the race would look like.

Lewis Hamilton has been a vocal critic of the plans, wanting instead of F1 drivers to design courses themselves.

"I don't get why, for example, in golf you get all the great golfers who design golf courses, and then you've not got any of the top racing drivers ever in history who ever designed a race track," said Hamilton.

"I don't want to make an assumption before we've even driven it, but if there's time, and anyone wants to approach me or any of the drivers, I'm sure we could give some good insight into what the layout's like, and how it could be better."

The Grand Prix is by no means confirmed as being part of the calendar in 2019, but talks advanced following the meeting in May, with the City Commission of Miami releasing the following statement:

"The City of Miami will enter negotiations with the organizers of Formula One racing, following the approval of... a resolution of the Miami City Commission supporting the efforts to bring the Formula 1 Racing Circuit to the city of Miami for the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix from 2019 to 2028, and to direct the city manager to formalize the necessary contractual agreement between the city of Miami and Formula One World Championship Limited."
