F1 star George Russell criticizes 'the American way' of pre-race festivities after Miami Grand Prix
Fox News
Formula One driver George Russell was not pleased with the driver introductions ahead of the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday, saying "I am here to race."
Ryan Gaydos is a senior editor for Fox News Digital.
However, Russell told reporters afterward there were better uses of his time in the 30 minutes before the race.
"I guess it’s the ‘American way’ of doing things during sport," the British driver said Sunday. "I am here to race. I’m not here for the show, I’m here to win. I don’t think there is any other sport in the world that 30 minutes before you go out to do your business, you are out there in the sun, all the cameras on you and making a bit of a show of it. I can appreciate that in the entertainment world."
