Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, said: \u201cWhile it has not been possible to go ahead with the two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia this month, and we look forward to being back with our passionate fans there as soon as possible, it is great news for our fans, the drivers and the teams that Formula 2 will be racing in Miami and Montreal.<\/p>\n

“Bringing the championship to North America via Miami and Montreal for the first time marks an important step in its continued global growth, strengthening the pathway alongside Formula 1 and connecting with new audiences. I thank all those who worked tirelessly to make these rounds possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts remain with all those affected by the ongoing events in the Middle East and we continue to hope for a swift return to stability. We look forward to racing in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bruno Michel, FIA Formula 2 CEO, said: \u201cWe always love to race in Sakhir and Jeddah, and we wish them well and look forward to returning to both as soon as circumstances allow. We are now going to Miami and Montreal for the second and third rounds of the 2026 season, respectively.<\/p>\n
“I would like to thank Stefano Domenicali and Formula 1 for their support in making this possible, and also the FIA, the promoters of the Miami and Canadian Grands Prix, and of course my team, who have worked hard to put in place two new Rounds in such a short amount of time.<\/p>\n
“It was not an easy thing to do, but bringing F2 to North America for the first time is really fantastic. It\u2019s something we have been wanting to do for a long time, and it enables us to ensure we\u2019re back racing as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
