Donald Trump attracted significant attention during the Miami Grand Prix for various reasons.
Before the shine of another individual stealing the scene and bringing joy to the fans, McLaren faced harsh criticism before the race in Miami. The Papaya team found itself at the center of controversy when it was seen with a US presidential candidate.
After the race, reports emerged indicating that the 77-year-old man had visited the McLaren garage after receiving an invitation from the team. This invitation sparked anger towards McLaren and Zak Brown, as Donald Trump’s presence elicited divergent opinions due to his political status.
A McLaren fan, who identifies as queer, expressed her disappointment with Zak Brown on her social media account. She expressed her dissatisfaction with the CEO’s decision to welcome Trump into the garage, citing the politician’s history of making derogatory statements about queer individuals.
The whole situation became quite confusing, with other fans joining the conversation and expressing their disapproval of inviting the 77-year-old man to the McLaren garage. Additionally, many fans pointed out that Zak Brown himself had previously stated that politics should remain separate from Formula 1.
During the Miami Grand Prix, Lando Norris achieved a notable first victory. The driver demonstrated exceptional speed on the track, bringing immense pride to both papaya fans and his team. This victory marked McLaren’s first win since the 2021 race in Monza.
En el pasado, Zak Brown hizo una apuesta con otro piloto durante su tiempo en McLaren. La apuesta giraba en torno al piloto australiano ganando una carrera y Brown haciéndose un tatuaje como resultado. Después de la impresionante victoria de Riccardo en Monza en 2021, Brown cumplió la apuesta. Cuando se le preguntó si tenía una apuesta similar con Lando Norris, Brown bromeó diciendo que no le importaría hacerse otro tatuaje, especialmente porque está orgulloso de su equipo y del joven piloto británico. Añadió un comentario sarcástico, mencionando que el diseño de la pista de Miami haría que el tatuaje fuera más doloroso debido a sus curvas en comparación con Monza.
