The Miami GP is one of the biggest events on F1 calendar. The first American race of the season garners attention from many celebrities. However, fans were surprised to see former US President Donald Trump visit the F1 paddock this weekend.

Trump entered the Miami paddock just before the Grand Prix went underway. The American politician seemed to be a guest of McLaren for the weekend, even shaking hands with McLaren CEO Zak Brown. Donald Trump was present in the Woking-based team’s garage for the race.

Additionally, the former US President met with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. Trump appeared to be discussing some important topic with the duo with Brown watching the background. It must be noted that a fundraiser for Trump’s election campaign at the Miami GP was blocked before the start of the weekend.

Fans not happy to see Donald Trump at Miami GP

Fans on X were far from happy to see the former US President in the Miami paddock. One user took a dig at Donald Trump, claiming that the American was trying to convince Ben Sulayem and Domenicali that he was not corrupt. The user wrote, “The “I am totally not corrupt” club.” While another fan asserted that they were speechless to see Trump in the McLaren garage.

Moreover, one fan reckoned that it was “unbelievable” to see Donald Trump have a chat in the McLaren garage during an F1 race weekend. On the other hand, another user claimed that Mohammed Ben Sulayem and Trump were twins. The user hinted at the allegations made against the FIA President a few weeks ago. Although, Ben Sulayem was cleared after an investigation.

Certainly, Donald Trump grabbed eyeballs by attending the Miami GP. The former US President seems to be making public appearances in the run-up to the 2024 US elections. However, it seems that Trump’s presence was not appreciated by fans online. Nevertheless, the American politician made a mark this weekend.
