Lewis Hamilton praised the driver introduction ceremony which took place before the Miami Grand Prix – but had little support from his Formula 1 rivals.
It was made known that, before the Florida race, the procedure would be a little different with some form of ceremony planned. Most details were shrouded in secrecy, but rapper LL Cool J was signed up to host while Will.I.Am produced a new F1 song.
As it turned out, the Black Eyed Peas frontman would be conducting an orchestra on the grid as, one by one, the drivers were introduced to the crowd. It did not go down too well with online fans and most of the drivers didn't exactly react enthusiastically either.
