The 2024 Miami Grand Prix roared into Florida last weekend, bringing high-octane action and star-studded glamour to the Sunshine State. Amidst the revving engines and burning rubber, an unexpected encounter between Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and former first daughter Ivanka Trump captured attention at the pre-race festivities.

On Thursday, May 2nd, Florida witnessed the glamorous launch party for the highly anticipated Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix, set to take place on May 5th at the Miami International Autodrome. The dynamic duo of Hill and his teammate Jaylen Waddle arrived at the American Express Presents Carbone Beach bash in their G-wagon, ready to join the semi-rave party alongside other notable personalities.

Unlike some of the more formally dressed attendees, Hill and Waddle opted for a casual Florida style, resembling characters from the popular video game Grand Theft Auto. They were prepared to tear up the dance floor with a subtle swagger, while prominent figures like Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner made their presence felt.
