Every Formula 1 race weekend is like a celebration of sorts for the host city and circuit. Banners go up, crowd attractions are put in place and there is plenty of foot traffic around the circuit. This makes every race weekend an attractive money-making opportunity for the hosts of the Grand Prix. This is exactly why companies invest huge sums of money to market a singular race weekend. Additionally, each penny that goes into marketing pays dividends, thanks to the current soaring popularity of the sport. This is why sponsors of the Miami GP are already putting in efforts to welcome Lewis Hamilton and Co. for the second edition of the race.
The Miami GP will commence on May 6th and conclude on the 8th. There is still a fortnight to go and the preparation for the Miami GP is in full swing for the race weekend. For starters, categorized under “Event Supporters” Dutch beverage company Heineken is making its presence felt.
