Before attending the 2024 Miami GP, it seems like Tom Brady visited a race track to test out his karting skills. At the Wayfarer Raceway, the NFL legend jumped in a kart, shooting an ad for brand partner Ray-Ban. As he would later share his experience, he dubbed his performance his “best Charles Leclerc” impression.

As some fans may already know, Ray-Ban’s involvement in Formula 1, particularly with the Scuderia, has been a long-term deal. One of Ferrari‘s most well-known sponsors, iconic drivers such as Kimi Räikkönen, often sported the brand’s products. Brady’s time in a kart as well as his presence at the Miami GP only go on to show his love for motorsport.

Tom Brady’s love for motorsports extends beyond Formula 1. He was present at Le Mans 2023, witnessing Ferrari’s historic return and subsequent win at the event, breaking Toyota’s hold and marking their own return to the event.

Alongside him was NBA star LeBron James, and the two became one of the key highlights of the event. Incidentally, present at the event was Charles Leclerc, the driver whom Brady joked about imitating in his latest post. At the moment, Brady is in Miami, taking part in the Miami GP buildup.

This time around, he was seen in the Williams paddock, cheering on for the local hero, Logan Sargeant. While Sargeant’s performance in sprint qualifying may see him start in the last row, fans have high hopes of seeing the only American driver on the grid succeed. With the presence of a legend of Tom Brady’s caliber, Logan Sargeant will have plenty of motivation to put on a show for the Miami crowd.
