Formula 1 descends on Miami as Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Co soak up the Florida sunshine ahead of star-studded event

The Formula One circus makes its next stop in sunny Florida this week for the Miami Grand Prix.

This will be the third time this race has been run – with the previous two races dominated by Red Bull Racing.

Max Verstappen, who won both races, is back in Miami with the hopes of a three-peat on his mind.

Of course, Red Bull would be just as happy if his teammate Sergio Perez continued their run of dominance on this track.

But other drivers have shown up as well – including Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes and both Ferrari drivers: Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

This marks the sixth race of what has already looked like another season of Red Bull dominance.

Both Verstappen and Perez are atop the driver standings – with the Dutchman on 110 points and his Mexican counterpart at 85 points.

Behind the both of them is the Ferrari duo of Leclerc and Sainz on 76 and 69 points respectively.

Verstappen has won all but one race – the Australian Grand Prix, where Sainz took home the top prize.

Like other years, the Miami Grand Prix should be a perfect opportunity for celebrities to come out and soak up some sun and breathe in some burning rubber (if they ever get that close to the track).

Among the planned appearances includes Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, as the power couple have confirmed their attendance.

Kelce will be joined by his fellow Kansas City Chiefs star, quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He’ll be joined by his wife Brittany.

It’s unclear if 45th President of the United States Donald Trump will be showing up after a planned fundraiser he wanted to set up at the race was shut down by race officials for violating the suite agreement.

A cease and desist letter was sent to a friend of the former president, saying, ‘It has come to our attention that you may be using your Paddock Club Rooftop Suite for a political purpose, namely raising money for a federal election at $250,000 per ticket, which clearly violates the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix suite license agreement.

‘If this is true, we regret to inform you that your suite license will be revoked, you will not be allowed to attend the race at any time, and we will refund you in full.’
