Overview
- The FIA announced Thursday that Miami (May 1–3) and Montréal (May 22–24) will host Rounds 2 and 3 alongside Formula 1.
- The move follows the April cancellations of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to unrest in the region that disrupted safety and logistics.
- The additions restore a 14-round season and close what would have been a long break between the Melbourne opener and Monaco.
- Formula 3 will not race in Miami or Montréal, returning instead on the Monaco Grand Prix weekend in early June.
- The Montréal weekend clashes with the Indianapolis 500, ruling Hitech TGR driver Colton Herta out of an Indy 500 entry.
