The Miami Grand Prix build-up was not a winner with the majority of the F1 drivers... Norris Verstappen Russell
There was a generally negative reaction from the drivers to their grand Miami pre-race entrances, Lando Norris and George Russell leading the charge.
It was not something though which went down well with many of the drivers, McLaren racer Norris for example claiming that “none of the drivers like it”, stating that they have a “limit” to what they can deal with and such initiatives push that boundary. “We’ve said you can’t just keep putting things in and making us do more and more. There’s not one other sport where you do this. We do so much. There’s a limit to how much we should do. We’re here to focus on doing the job and not just be in front of a camera all day.”
“I can appreciate it’s the entertainment world, and we’re open to changes, but we wouldn’t want to see it every weekend. “They’re trying new things, they’re trying to improve the show always, and I’m in full support of it. But, if it is to continue, then he proposed that long-standing events like the “drivers’ parade” must be scrapped, while also calling for initiatives like these driver introductions to spread across the calendar, not just be specific to Miami, as “the Miami fans aren’t better than in Italy, or Spain, or Japan – we need to make everyone have the same show before the race.”
