Miami GP circuit: why F1 drivers still dislike it, and how it could be improved

“It’s probably at the bottom of my list of preferred circuits,” said Lewis Hamilton, the dismissive tone and matching facial expression indicating that no elucidation would be forthcoming.
 
Pity the poor scribbler who had clearly accepted a commission from some outlet or other to write a story talking up the Miami race, spending the most recent grand prix weekends doggedly working the rounds of press conferences for positive quotes. Some drivers saw the motive behind the otherwise incongruous line of questioning and generously did their best to facilitate; the majority were lukewarm at best.
