The Miami Grand Prix is famous for its mix of high-speed racing, American culture, influencers, celebrities, and now even notable political figures. On track, the race itself provided a lot of excitement and drama. McLaren, a team that had been unlucky earlier in the season, seemed to find a strand of good luck during the Miami Grand Prix. A timely safety car incident played perfectly into their strategy, allowing driver Lando Norris to use the situation to his advantage. Lando Norris showcased his skills during the 57 Laps and secured the victory. An unexpected appearance by former President Donald Trump sparked attention and even bigger controversy. He was seen shaking hands with various individuals before the race. Reportedly, he asked to visit the McLaren garage before the event. This request was granted, and Trump appeared, shaking hands and talking to drivers and team members. However, the encounter did not go very smoothly. Clips documenting this encounter between the drivers and the former president appeared awkward. Many fans noted the forced nature of these interactions, leading to a significant backlash in the press. Critics argued that the politicization of the event detracted from the sport and created an uncomfortable atmosphere for the drivers and the audience.
