“No Respect for the Legends”: Fans Left Fuming After Roger Federer’s Security Misbehaves With F1 Royalty Over Simple Request

The Miami GP race weekend is finally over. Stars from all walks of life descended upon the venue to register their presence and, just like last year, the event turned out to be a star-studded affair. Even the race went smoothly as Max Verstappen, beating all odds, won the race after beating his own teammate Sergio Perez. However, a moment of disrespect for a legend of the sport has left fans with a sour taste in their mouths.

The Miami GP is officially a 2-year-old fixture on the F1 calendar now and has turned out to be a celeb favorite. Just like last year, the crème de la crème made their way to the paddock right from the Friday. Vin Diesel and his The Fast and the Furious co-star Michelle Rodriguez started it all when they had a meet and greet with McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. As the race came to an end, tennis legend Roger Federer made his way to the track. Close to him was 3-time F1 world championship winner Sir Jackie Stewart. But the moment turned out to be an embarrassing one for him.

F1 fans come down heavy on Roger Federer’s security for disrespecting a legend of the sport

Roger Federer was there to attend the main race and had a great time. Being a top athlete, he had access to special privileges like hanging on the track after the race got over. Jackie Stewart wanted to meet the man who he probably admires a lot. Roger’s security, however, probably did not know who he was and blocked him and told him to turn away.

As fans saw the scenes on the live broadcast, they were left fuming. Take a look at how they reacted to the disrespect Sir Jackie Stewart went through.

One fan felt that the Miami GP has turned out to be just a “Hollywood production” and the actual race action has taken the back seat.

Even Liberty Media took the brunt of fans’ anger. Fans even called out the behavior of the celebs who don’t know F1 and the legends of the sport.
