Too much going on in Miami, honestly, as much as I like the idea, I do not see it happening. No way Miami is paying the extortion money to host an F1 race.
They really really do not need it. Unless it was during the off season (right now) which happens to be peak Hurricane season, so I do not see this happening.

I agree the fees F-1 charges are insane
BUT MIAMI IS WANTED BY F-1 and was a NO fee deal to hold a race
instead of a 10-20-30 million fee LIBERTY was GIVING MIAMI THE RACE FREE
so just expected to provide track and other set up costs locally covered
without a huge fee on top of the real costs
and some how the local political leaders are blowing it BIG TIME
the ONLY other no fee race is monte carlo
