Sky Sports F1 reporter Craig Slater has revealed the repercussions of his viral 'swim' in the Miami Grand Prix marina. During a piece on the inaugural Miami race and its now-famous fake water, the journalist pretended to backstroke his way across the fake marina in front of the camera. Speaking in a Reddit AMA, Slater admitted the trouble he got into despite it being spur-of-the-moment fun rather than a dig at the event.
“I got in a lot of trouble for that, I have to say," he wrote on the Formula 1 Reddit page. "I hadn’t intended to jump into the water. I knew it was a thing because there had been people that planted images of themselves on images of the fake marina, but the actual swimming bit, I jumped in and the camera panned off.
