The first Miami weekend saw a huge fanbase including the celebrities who came to enjoy the race. Miami was the proof of the huge effects Drive to Survive has brought to North America.

Especially the orange flags over the grandstand presenting the Mclaren base came to support Lando and Ricciardo. With Lando having a crash with Pierre and  Ricciardo out of points it was a tough race in general but the craze for Formula 1 was humongous.

Andreas Seidl says that he was happy to see the push for the sport in America and it was a very great thing to witness for the first time in 28 years.
