Donald Trump attracted significant attention during the Miami Grand Prix for several reasons.
Before the shine of another individual stole the scene and brought joy to the fans, McLaren faced harsh criticism before the race in Miami. The Papaya team found itself at the center of controversy when 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 voiced her dissatisfaction with the CEO’s decision to host Trump in 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 triumph since the 2021 race in Monza.
Dans le passé, Zak Brown a fait un pari avec un autre pilote pendant son temps chez McLaren. Le pari portait sur le pilote australien remportant une course et Brown se faisant tatouer en conséquence. Après la victoire impressionnante de Riccardo à Monza en 2021, Brown a honoré le pari. Interrogé s’il avait un pari similaire avec Lando Norris, Brown a plaisanté en disant qu’il n’aurait aucun problème à se faire tatouer à nouveau, surtout parce qu’il est fier de son équipe et du jeune pilote britannique. Il a ajouté un commentaire sarcastique, mentionnant que la configuration du circuit de Miami rendrait le tatouage plus douloureux en raison de ses virages par rapport à Monza.
