This week on Box Box F1 Pod we are talking all things Miami Grand Prix. Starting with the off track happenings like the celebrities! There was a wild James Marsden that appeared on the side of the track (or was that world Tennis champion, Roger Federer?? Hard to tell.) Plus an 11th team is joining the grid, Alfa Romero. I hear they’re giving out hot laps! Not to mention everything that happened on track, like Max’s incredible double overtake and Fernando’s continued domination of the track (and our hearts). And even though Red Bull might still be the new Mr. 305, the one positive from this weekend is that there were no signs of Chuck this year (although the pre-race interviews might have actually been worse).
