MIAMI – Formula One has been and gone for another year, but Miami's Hard Rock Stadium is now in a race to get ready for the soccer World Cup starting next month.

Argentine ​great Lionel Messi was in the Miami Grand Prix paddock at the weekend, visiting ‌Alpine F1 ‌driver and compatriot Franco Colapinto before Sunday's grand prix and treading ​the green static-charged carpet laid out over the stadium's field of play where teams had their tented hospitality units.

Within hours of the race ending, the focus was already on starting ⁠the transformation to something more familiar to Messi — real grass and a playing surface fit for the ⁠48-team tournament.
