A key discussion on the proposed Miami Grand Prix has been pushed back to August to allow the city to gain more feedback from downtown residents.

The City Commission set aside a discussion on July 26 on Miami's 10-year deal to host a Formula One race, which it has been negotiating since a successful vote in May. The meeting was set to include a request for public funding from Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature, despite previous suggestions the entire race would be privately funded -- Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has played a key role in securing the deal with F1.
