F1 25 Miami Setup: Best Dry and Wet Car Setup

The best F1 25 Miami setup runs wings at 12 and 10, the differential at 100% on throttle and 35% off, suspension at 41 and 5, ride height at 21 and 46 and front brake bias at 55%. It is a low downforce setup built for the two long straights, with the brake bias further forward than at almost any other track.

The numbers come from F1Laps, which reports what the 100 fastest setups at this track have in common. I read them on 5 October 2026. I have not tested this exact setup in the game, so take it as community data. The reading of it is mine.

These values are for the 2025 cars in the base game.

Tyre pressures are the same left and right in both sets.

Why this setup works in Miami

The Miami International Autodrome is a temporary circuit around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. It is 5.412 km with 19 corners. The lap has three very different parts: a fast, flowing run from turn 4 to turn 8, a slow and tight section from turn 11 to turn 16 with the chicane at 14 and 15, and two long straights that end in the big braking zones at turns 11 and 17.

Wings at 12 and 10. Only Monza, Las Vegas, Spa and Baku run less front wing, and Jeddah runs the same 12. Five tracks run less rear wing. The straights into turns 11 and 17 are where the lap time is, so the setup gives up grip in the slow section to gain speed there. You can compare it with every other track in my F1 25 setups for every track.

Differential at 100% and 35%. Fully locked on throttle, like at 19 of the 24 tracks. It gives the best drive out of turns 8, 16 and 17, which all lead onto a straight. The off throttle value of 35% is on the high side: only Imola runs more, and only Australia and Canada run the same. It keeps the rear stable when you lift through the fast section with so little wing on the car.

Suspension at 41 and 5. The front is at 41, like at 14 of the 24 tracks. The rear is soft at 5, though only five tracks go stiffer than that. A soft rear helps traction out of the slow corners and lets the car ride the kerbs at the chicane.

Anti-roll bars at 8.5 and 12. The rear bar is stiffer than the front, which helps the car rotate in the slow corners. Even so, 16 of the 24 tracks run a stiffer rear bar than this.

Ride height at 21 and 46. Low at the front for the straights, with enough rake to keep the rear off the kerbs.

Brake bias at 55%. This is the highest value in the game. No track runs more, and only Monza and Austria run the same. At 17 of the 24 tracks it is 54%. My reading: with this little rear wing the rear is light under braking, and a bias one point further forward keeps it in line into turns 11 and 17.

Tyres at 29 and 21.3 psi. High front pressures, a normal rear.

How to drive it

Carry speed from turn 4 to turn 8. This is the flowing part of the lap and the car has little wing, so be smooth. One steering input per corner. Turn 7 and 8 is one long left that opens onto a straight: sacrifice the entry and get on the throttle early.

Brake in a straight line for turn 11 and turn 17. They are the two heaviest stops and the two overtaking places. With 100% brake pressure and low wings, the front locks if you turn while you are still hard on the pedal.

Be patient at the chicane. Turns 14 and 15 are slow, blind over a crest, and the kerbs are tall. Stay off them. Whatever you gain by cutting, you lose when the car bounces and you get on the throttle late for turn 16.

Turn 16 decides the back straight. It leads onto the longest straight on the lap. A clean exit here is worth more than a late braking move anywhere else.

Mind the walls. It is a temporary circuit and the walls are close on the exit of the fast corners.

How to adjust it to your driving

Change one thing at a time and drive three clean laps before you judge it.

• The rear is loose from turn 4 to turn 8. Add two clicks of rear wing, from 10 to 12. That is what the wet set runs.
• The rear snaps when you get on the power. Lower the on throttle differential from 100% to 90%. The wet set goes down to 82.5%.
• The car pushes wide in the slow section. Lower the off throttle differential from 35% to 30%, or add two clicks of front wing.
• The car bounces at the chicane. Raise the rear ride height one click and soften the front suspension by two or three clicks.
• The front locks into turn 17. Move brake bias back from 55% to 54%. If it still locks, take brake pressure down to 95%.
• You are on a controller. Start from the same numbers and lower the on throttle differential to 80 or 85%. A trigger gives you less control of the throttle than a pedal. My F1 25 controller settings cover the calibration side.

Wet setup for Miami

Compared with the dry setup:

• Rear wing goes from 10 to 12. The front stays at 12.
• The differential goes to 82.5% and 40%. More open on throttle so the rear does not snap, more locked off throttle so it stays stable when you lift.
• The suspension softens at the front and firms up at the rear, from 41 and 5 to 39 and 8.
• The anti-roll bars meet in the middle, from 8.5 and 12 to 10 and 10.
• Rear ride height goes up from 46 to 47.
• Front tyre pressures drop a lot, from 29 to 25 psi. The rears go from 21.3 to 21.5 psi.

Brake bias stays at 55%. Camber and toe do not change.

Miami setup for the 2026 Season Pack car

The 2026 cars arrived in F1 25 with the 2026 Season Pack. They have their own setups, and a 2025 setup does not carry over. F1Laps files these cars under F1 26. These are the dry and wet sets for Miami as I read them on 5 October 2026.

The dry set is a long way from the 2025 car: far more wing (37.5 and 20 against 12 and 10), a front anti-roll bar at 1, a higher front ride height and brake bias at 57%.

Be careful with these numbers. The wet set runs less wing than the dry one, which is the opposite of what you would expect. The 2026 data on F1Laps still moves from one day to the next at several tracks, so treat this as a starting point and check the source before a league race.

FAQ

What is the best setup for Miami in F1 25?

Wings 12 and 10, differential 100% on throttle and 35% off, camber -3.50 and -2.00, toe 0.00 and 0.10, suspension 41 and 5, anti-roll bars 8.5 and 12, ride height 21 and 46, brake pressure 100%, front brake bias 55%, front tyres 29 psi and rear tyres 21.3 psi.

What wing level should I run in Miami in F1 25?

12 at the front and 10 at the rear in the dry. In the wet the fast setups keep the front at 12 and raise the rear to 12.

Is Miami a low downforce track in F1 25?

Yes. Only Monza, Las Vegas, Spa and Baku run less front wing in the fastest setups. The two long straights matter more than the slow section.

Why is the brake bias 55% in Miami?

It is the highest value the fast setups use at any track, shared with Monza and Austria. With low wings the rear is light under braking, and a forward bias keeps the car stable into turns 11 and 17. That explanation is my reading of the data.

Does the F1 25 Miami setup work on the 2026 cars?

No. The 2026 Season Pack car runs wings at 37.5 and 20, the differential at 100% and 47.5%, suspension at 41 and 4 and brake bias at 57%. Use the 2026 table on this page.

Is this setup good for a race or only for time trial?

It is built from the fastest laps, so it leans toward one lap pace. For a race, add one or two clicks of rear wing and lower the on throttle differential to 90% to look after the rear tyres.

Where does this setup come from?

From F1Laps, which analyses the 100 fastest setups its users have driven in Miami. I read the numbers on 5 October 2026. They can move when the game is patched.
