The 6th Formula 1 Grand Prix of the season is organized in Miami. The races that take place in the United States are often the scene of a parade of stars of all kinds. And the sprint race this Saturday, May 4, did not break the rule. Between Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Elon Musk, it was also possible to meet Zinedine Zidane.
But the famous footballer wasn’t just there to wander around the paddock. He notably had the honor of distributing the trophies to the winner of the sprint race, Max Verstappen, as well as to the two other drivers who arrived on the podium, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez.

The former Real Madrid coach even made a small mistake by heading towards the Mexican driver for the second place trophy, while he returned to the Monegasque. He quickly corrected his actions and ended up striking up a conversation with the Ferrari driver.
