The Miami Grand Prix attracted notable figures from the world of sports and entertainment.
The Miami Grand Prix is a relatively new race on the F1 calendar, but it quickly gained popularity and became one of the most beloved events, greatly boosting the sport.
This year, the event drew 3.1 million viewers on ABC News’ Sunday broadcast, a significant increase from the 2.6 million viewers who watched last season. It even surpassed the competing NASCAR event.
Since its inception, the Miami Grand Prix has been an occasion that attracted famous people. This year was no exception, with Zinedine Zidane, Lindsey Vonn, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Ed Sheeran, and Donald Trump among the notable names present. The Miami GP is gradually establishing itself as the must-attend event for celebrities.
Popular YouTuber and gamer FaZe Banks, who attended the event, told TMZ Sports that the weekend festivities were amazing and even compared them to the Super Bowl.
Banks was a special guest thanks to Raising Cane’s owner Todd Graves and had an incredible weekend.
Banks’ claim that the Miami Grand Prix was bigger than the Super Bowl is based on the fact that Hollywood elite and prominent sports leagues were present at the event. The only other event where this is noticeable is the Super Bowl.
It’s an unparalleled experience, as the entire city of Miami is buzzing throughout the weekend, local businesses offer special promotions, and numerous parties are organized to celebrate the event.
This year, the most sought-after party was the American Express Carbone beach party, where celebrities headed after the Miami Grand Prix.
The race still cannot be compared to the Super Bowl. The reason is that this year’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers had a global audience of 62.5 million and 123.4 million viewers just in the United States.
The Super Bowl is far ahead of the Miami Grand Prix in terms of viewership, but the race is steadily gaining popularity.
According to Reuters, at its peak, 3.6 million viewers were watching the event live. The weekend ended with Lando Norris from McLaren winning his first Formula 1 race.
