Miami GP: Fans baffled by 'water' in fake F1 marina

The Formula 1 roadshow is heading somewhere new for the upcoming race. Miami will host a Grand Prix for the first time from 6th-8th May after its delayed addition to the race calendar.

From the looks of some of the pictures, the race organisers could have done with a little more time to iron out the kinks in the design around the circuit.

The designers have drawn inspiration from the glitz and glamour of the Monaco Grand Prix, whilst also looking to recognise Miami’s own beachfront.

Local resident objections prevented them from being able to incorporate the marina as they would have wished.

The faux marina they have gone for instead, was perhaps their attempt at a nod to that heritage. Sadly, social media hasn’t been quite so kind in their assessment with many users being critical.

Fake water to go with the fake marina. Whilst others have likened it to a throwback to racing games of yesteryear. Some have been able to be a little more light-hearted and are almost disbelieving of the pictures and laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
