Although the racing in Miami was not breathtaking and left more to be desired, the event as a whole was spectacular. It proved to be a huge commercial success for the investors. One notable individual to benefit immensely from the Miami GP is Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross Secures a Massive Paycheck From the Miami GP?
The entire Miami GP was a 3-day extravaganza for the fans. Even though it was a massive undertaking by the Miami Dolphins, they more than delivered on their promises. Although, they claimed they would not be making any profit by hosting the event. At least not for the first 2 years.
Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel said, “Based on where the expenses were headed, we’re not going to make money this year. It was important to us to deliver a great event.”

However, recent reports from the Orlando Sentinel suggest that Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is set to make bucket loads of cash from the race weekend. The outlet claims that the Miami GP will bring revenue equaling a full season of home games for the Dolphins.
However, the true numbers have not been revealed and all these reports are hearsay and speculations. F1 has a 10-year deal with the NFL franchise and will feature on the calendar until at least 2031.
Who is the Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross?
The Miami Dolphins are a professional football team that competes in the NFL. Dolphins play their home games at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which was also a part of the Miami GP this weekend. The franchise is owned by American billionaire Stephen Ross.
Just a quick appreciation tweet to Stephen Ross, @TomGarfinkel, and the entire Hard Rock/Miami Dolphins teams:
You put on an amazing F1 race today. And I was so proud that Miami and our home stadium were represented so well TO THE WORLD!
