My F1 experience turned out to be one of the most memorable races in recent history, and not just because of Piastri’s clinical performance. Traditionally, drivers take a pre-race lap in a flatbed truck to wave at fans; in Miami, the truck was replaced by life-sized F1 cars made entirely out of Lego.
