Here’s why McLaren had Donald Trump in its Formula 1 garage during the Miami Grand Prix
McLaren Racing accepted a request for Donald Trump to visit its garage at Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix as a gesture of respect for the office of President of the United States. Trump, a former US president and 2024 Republican presidential candidate, visited the Miami race with heightened security due to an ongoing trial. During his visit, Trump was accompanied by McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown and other notable figures in the motorsport world. The team clarified that McLaren is a non-political organization, but they accepted the visit to showcase their engineering prowess in motorsport. Although a presidential campaign fundraiser linked to Trump was initially planned at the event, it was ultimately blocked by race organizers.
