The F1 Miami Grand Prix will not feature the pre-race drive♑r introductions that caused a stir last year.

In 2023, e🍸very F1 driver on the grid was int🧸roduced to an adoring crowd before the grand prix in a ceremony led by rapper LL Cool J.

The unique show was 💎not a resounding success, and was met with scathing criticism from many fans watching on ✤TV and from the grandstands.

Additionally it required drivers to spend extra time in the hot s💝un before the race, which did not go down well.

But before Sunday’s 2024 grand prix, 🍎the pre-race show has been🌸 rethought.

There will be no drꦜiver introductions, for a start, report.

Instead, a giant screen will 🃏run through the 20 drivers who will race.

Marc Anthony, a six🦄-time Grammy winner, will sing the American national anthem🏅.

Musicians Ed Sheeran, John Summit, Kaytranada and Steve Aoki have also performe�ဣ�d during the weekend.

Guenther Steiner has told drivers to embrace the changing format for the💮 showpiece Miami event.

The former Haas ꦓteam principal is now an ambassador for the Miami Grand Prix.

He said: "I think the drivers need 🌄to ▨understand that they're in a unique spot.

"If ไsomething is new, it's easier to be negative than positive.

“Even if you don't enjoy it, put your best effort into i♊t because it makes a lot of people hap🐓py.

"Obviously, racing needs to be the most important thing, but you can giv🥀e people a lot of entertainment outside of the racing.

"Maybe 20 years ago, we just wanted to go and see a race, but now kids want to have a full experience and I think Miami has brought that ✃to t💞he calendar.

"Promoters saw that this works because you attract people to the sport, which is ꧋what we want."
