This weekend marked the first-ever Miami GP in Florida. The weekend was almost like a 3-day party, with fan events lined up over the weekend. In addition to that, the paddock saw celebrities like James Corden, Jeff Gordon, and NFL quarterbacks, Josh Allen and Tom Brady.

Although the racing in Miami was not breathtaking and left more to be desired, the event as a whole was spectacular. It proved to be a huge commercial success for the investors. One notable individual to benefit immensely from the Miami GP is Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.

Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel said, “Based on where the expenses were headed, we’re not going to make money this year. It was important to us to deliver a great event.”
