Fans stand on the track and its fencing after Sunday's Grand Prix of Miami. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The city with the meanest drivers in the nation welcomed the circuit with the keenest drivers in the world Sunday, and the whole thing felt veryFormula One, cosmo and glam right down to the little Lavazza espresso cups in some of the team lounges, had come to Miami, which pretty much likes to absorb cosmo and glam into its blood stream.
“Organization was great, loads of people, good weather,” said Leclerc, the Monacan who finished second but stands first overall in the standings. He liked seeing some evidence of increased interest in the sport.“Actually,” Verstappen said, “the helmet we had in the race, we needed in the paddock.”For 57 laps around 19 turns right by the Florida Turnpike, drivers tried rudely to refrain from letting others pass, and while that’s part of the game, seldom has it mirrored so aptly a host city.
“The music,” Caroline said of Miami. “In every stage, you felt like it’s a party. More flavors, more colors, more music,” which sounded like more Miami.Alan thought that while the track was “supposed to be a street circuit, [it] still felt like a regular circuit with a lot of open areas and passing zones.”
