What Is the Prize Money and the Ranking Points Awarded at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix? In the 2025 Formula 1 season, including the Miami Grand Prix, the allocation of prize money and championship points is structured as follows: Prize Money Distribution Formula 1 distributes its prize money based on the Constructors’ Championship standings at the end of the season, rather than awarding money for individual race results. This means that while the Miami Grand Prix contributes to a team’s overall performance, there isn’t a specific prize purse for winning this particular race. The total prize pot is typically around 50% of F1’s commercial rights profit. For example, in the 2023 season, the prize money distribution was estimated as follows: • 1st Place (Red Bull): Approximately $140 million • 2nd Place (Mercedes): Approximately $131 million
