The Miami race is known for attracting many celebrities.
The Formula 1 event is notorious for its fair share of controversies, and the weekend in Miami was no exception. Several off-track incidents occurred, including one involving a prominent political figure. Rumors circulated that the Republican candidate had planned to hold a fundraising event at the race.
Several weeks before the Miami event, a close friend of Donald Trump organized a fundraising event on his behalf. However, the Grand Prix organizers were not pleased with this idea and invalidated the friend’s access pass. This led to speculation that Trump would not be present at the race amid these allegations.
To everyone’s surprise, the former president was seen in the paddock, attracting a lot of attention.

The 77-year-old received a warm welcome from fans and was seen acknowledging their support. He waved to the crowd and expressed his gratitude for the reception he received. Trump seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the race spectacle and even had a conversation with the event’s boss.
There were several theories about the cancellation of Trump’s friend’s ticket. Experts and investigators believed that this happened due to the pass being used for political purposes, which violated the terms and conditions of its purchase.
Before the race, the track’s CEO expressed his firm stance against any political activities.
The track’s CEO made it clear that the event should not be used for fundraising or political campaigns. He emphasized that it is a social gathering and their goal is to ensure everyone enjoys the race without turning it into a political matter.
