Lewis Hamilton declared "it's not my job" to make Formula 1 more interesting as Max Verstappen claimed he was only booed at the Miami Grand Prix because he and his team are dominating the championship.
Organisers of the race tried a new pre-race show in Miami, introducing the drivers to the crowd one by one. THe crowd responded with varying enthusiasm to each driver with home hero Logan Sargeant and Mexican racer Sergio Perez among those greeted with the loudest cheers.
There were plenty supporting Verstappen as his name was read out by rapper LL Cool J. But a smattering of boos could also be heard from the grandstands – possibly linked to Miami's large Hispanic community which would most likely have been cheering for Perez to win.
