The Florida Event has praised chaos since the inaugural race was held three years ago and it was decided to build the circuit in the hard rock stage of the city, the home of local NFL team de Miami Dolphins.

It almost didn’t happen at all, after a handful of residents in the neighborhood had brought a lawsuit about complaints about noise pollution – although this was thrown away by a judge.

An improvised circuit was paved together – but it turned out to be a guy, had to pop up twice before the race and there was a serious grip.

Many of the drivers have drained it, with Sergio Perez Make a label of “a joke” and Lando Norris who accuses the designers of normal “winging it”.

But it would turn out that the job would be the least of the driver’s concerns.

Come 2023, the spectacle was even more intense, to their dismay.

Meanwhile, in the background, Black Eyed Peas Singer will.i.am performed a black-clad 30-piece orchestra.

No wonder when the drivers found the showbizzy spectacle ‘distracted’.

“I don’t think there is another sport in the world that 30 minutes before you are going to do your business that you are in the sun, all cameras on you and make a bit of a show,” said George Russell.

“None of the drivers like it,” added Lando Norris.

“We do so much publicity for the fans [but] As drivers, we all just want to sit down and concentrate on what we should concentrate on. “
