Miami Grand Prix: A Star-Studded Affair with Formula 1 Racing and Celebrities
The Miami Grand Prix is set to be a star-studded affair as Formula 1 heads to Florida from 3-5 May for the sixth race of the season. With celebrities like Tom Cruise, Shakira, and Elon Musk attending last year’s event, fans can expect to see more famous faces in the crowd this time around.
Defending world champion Max Verstappen will be looking to extend his dominant start to the 2024 season, having already secured four wins out of five races. The Dutch driver will also be aiming to continue his success in the sprint races, after winning the first one in Shanghai last month.
Last year’s Miami Grand Prix was a hit among celeb spotters, with LL Cool J even introducing the F1 drivers before the race like they were boxers before a big fight. Verstappen emerged victorious in the race and will be a strong contender for a repeat win this year.
For fans looking to follow the action, live radio commentary will be available on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Radio 5 Live for Sunday’s race, as well as on the BBC Sport website and app. Additionally, podcasts like the Chequered Flag and F1: Back at Base will provide previews and behind-the-scenes insights for every race of the season.
The Miami Grand Prix schedule includes practice sessions on Friday, sprint races on Saturday, and the main race on Sunday. With slight changes to the sprint format this season, including qualifying on Friday instead of Saturday, fans can expect an exciting weekend of racing in the Sunshine State.
