LDon’t think about Don Johnson anymore. As a reminder, Johnson drove a black fake Ferrari around the Miami Vice film set until the Italians, fearing damage to his image, gave him a white Testarossa. How do we get there? Formula 1 races through Miami this weekend. Or: about the parking lots around the football stadium, which is actually not in Miami, but in the suburb of Miami Gardens.
Why? The marketer of the Miami Grand Prix is also the CEO of the stadium and the Miami Dolphins that play there. If you pay, you buy, that’s how the wheels in Formula 1 have always turned. In any case, everything about the Ferraris that can be seen at the parking lot race is real. Which can’t be said about the, well, “Marina” at the side of the track.
Ten yachts are anchored in a vinyl water world nine miles from the beach. That could change. Sebastian Vettel came to the “Opening Party” in a t-shirt with the motto on it: Miami 2060, including a racing driver’s helmet with a snorkel sticking out of it. And the phrase “Act now or swim later”. Right message in the right place. There are supposed to be people in Florida who think climate change is fake.
