The inaugural Miami Grand Prix saw Formula 1 enter a world of glamour, celebrity, and gimmicks - including police escorts to the podium and football helmets for those that finished in the top three.
While the occasion was welcomed and celebrated by some, former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone did not enjoy the spectacle. F1 visited the NFL franchise Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium for round five of the 2022 championship, and it did not disappoint for many.
It became a must-attend event for celebrities from all walks of life as F1 looked to take advantage of the insane increase in popularity seen in the United States due to Netflix ’s docs-series Drive to Survive.
