Formula 2 made history last weekend by competing in the United States for the very first time at the Miami Grand Prix—and series boss Bruno Michel is already dreaming of a bigger American footprint. Despite the logistical hurdles, Michel says North America is a key part of the championship's future growth.

The series scrambled its schedule after cancellations in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, landing in Miami for a thrilling double-header. Both the Sprint Race and the rain-soaked Feature Race delivered edge-of-your-seat action, with three-way battles for victory on the final lap. It was exactly the kind of drama that makes Formula 2 a must-watch for motorsport fans.

"I had been talking to Montreal a bit earlier about the future," Michel explained. "Montreal had asked if we could come for 2026, but I said no—our calendar was set. But once we started optimizing costs for a North American trip, it made perfect sense to also discuss Miami. We could ship all the freight to America, then truck it from Miami to Montreal."

He laughed, adding, "It was simple to think about, but organizing it was much more complicated!"

Formula 2 and its predecessor, GP2 Series, have traditionally run alongside Formula 1 in Europe and the Middle East. The championship only expanded to Australia in 2023. Now, with Miami and Montreal on the radar, the series is testing the waters of a truly global calendar.

But Michel is careful about growth. He's long been focused on keeping costs manageable for young drivers, who already need substantial budgets to compete. "I don't want to go much above our current 14 events," he said. "Otherwise, costs will go completely crazy."

When asked if Miami and Montreal could become permanent fixtures, Michel was cautiously optimistic. "We are discussing. Montreal is a serious conversation. Miami is more complicated because they already have strong support races. And logistically, it's tough. But we'd love to expand our presence in America."

For now, Formula 2 fans can look forward to the series debuting in Montreal later this month—and maybe, just maybe, a regular spot on the North American racing calendar is on the horizon.
