🙅‍♂️ F1 driver BACKLASH over Miami GP intros

F1 went over the top with dramatic driver introductions for the Miami GP, and most of the stars of the show weren’t fans of it

Of course Hamilton enjoyed it. Dude is a walking PR department.

[@DazeMusicTV]

Hamilton: "what did max say? Yeah the opposite of that"

[@fw--kx6sk]

Formula 1: "No more grid girls!"

[@Phox123]

The fucking dead silence when each of them walked out ☠️

[@MrNessKwik]

I wish Kimi was still there just to see what he would have done 😂

[@Lastname6955]

Fernando's point is a good one. If F1 think it's so great, then they're basically saying they prefer the American fans to every other country

[@stephenw3506]

Why are all US sports events over-shadowed by the showbiz parts that don't add to the sport itself?

[@TangoNevada]

My biggest issue with it was that it was most likely the first time LL Cool J said their names in his life.

[@BigMacMick]

From fake marinas to a cringe worthy drivers parade.... Welcome to the Miami GP

[@cajunstrat]

As an American I was embarrassed by it. Even worse is the drive to the podium.

[@patrickracer43]

Vegas gonna have all the drivers introduced like they in the main event of WrestleMania

[@timmyb7734]

Drop this GP immediately. America has no right to have 3 GP's.

My biggest problem with it, was that the most respected F1 commentator anywhere in the world, AND a 3 time F1 world champion, weren't allowed inside that area. But tennis players, rappers and actors were welcomed with open arms. The day Sir Jackie Stewart gets man handled for being anywhere on the F1 grid is a day when we know they've all lost the fucking plot!

[@fernando_chadlonso]

If this is how Miami is like, imagine Vegas........

[@boredstudent]

Max Verstappen said this was "not necessary" and I can wholeheartedly agree with him.

[@JeremyHansPatrick]

It was so bad, let alone the fact that there were intros, the announcer clearly didn't know any of them and sounded like he googled them just before the race. Introducing Leclerc as "competed for a race last year" is criminal

[@Sovereign_54]

If Kimi had been on stage, He would’ve walked right through the stage, not stopped, not waved, not smiled, literally just walked by. He would’ve ghosted every single person on the stage, including the stage itself…

[@roredd7493]

seb timed his exit perfectly.

[@jetorixjones]

Of course Hamilton loved it 😂

[@ImaginaryKiddo]

Lewis was sad it didn't include a Ru Paul Drag Race.
