Miami Grand Prix organisers would have no concerns about running back-to-back races with Canada in the future in an attempt to help Formula 1 achieve sustainability targets.
With F1 aiming to be net carbon zero by 2030, addressing travel between races on the calendar will be a must moving forward.
Grouping races by region seems to be the most logical route to cutting down on the movement of people and freight during the course of a season which currently has a record 24 races across the globe.
While most of the European races run consecutively, there are still plenty of flyaway grands prix, with contracts and agreements locking certain cities into hosting at specific times of the year.
Looking at the 2025 calendar, Miami’s race date of 4 May falls between the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – itself the last of a triple-header – before F1 then heads to Imola.

While Miami might have very little wiggle room when it comes to rescheduling in the calendar, Epp would have no issues becoming a double-header alongside Canada.
“It is a larger F1 question, we don’t get to dictate that,” he said.
“We are in a spot where we don’t have a lot of movement, but we are in line with Formula 1 and the rest of the industry with sustainability.
“I think they [F1] have some things in the works, but our date is pretty firm. We don’t know until we see it, I wouldn’t mind it necessarily.
“One of the things that F1 does not get enough credit for is they let each promoter be distinct and unique. Going to a race in Miami is much different to going to a race in Montreal or in Vegas. It is why people travel to different races.
