This gives the world of F1 plenty to talk about apart from the sport in terms of celebrity spotting, their activities around the track, and some juicy content. Today we are bringing something similar featuring none other than DJ Khaled.

As seen on Aston Martin’s Instagram page, the highly popular and successful American music producer visited Miami International Autodrome.

Khaled communicated exactly that in the video where he is motivating the Aston Martin men before the showdown in Miami.
