The F1 Miami Gran🌃d Prix will not feature the pre-race driver introductions that caused a stir last year.

In꧙ 2023, every F1 driver on the grid was introduced to an adoring crowd before the grand prix in a ceremony led by rapper LL Cool J.

The🦋 unique show was not a resounding success, and was met with scathing criticism from many fans watching on TV and from the grandstands.

Addit💮ionally it r💟equired drivers to spend extra time in the hot sun before the race, which did not go down well.

But befo🅰re Sunday’s 2024 g🤪rand prix, the pre-race show has been rethought.

There will be no driverꦓ introductions, for a start, report🍒.

Instead, a giant screen will run through the 20 drivers wh🐈o will race.

Marc Anthony, a six-time Grammy☂ winner, will sing the American national anthem.

Musicians Ed Sheeran, John Summit, Kaytranada and Steve Aoki have also p🀅erfor𝔍med during the weekend.

Guenther Steiner has told drivers to embrace the changing ꧟format for the showpiece Miami event.

The forme🥂r Haas team principal is now an ambassador for the Miami Grand Prix.

He said: "I think the drivers need to unde🌊rstand that they're in a unique spot.

"If somet🃏hing is new, it's easier to be nega💙tive than positive.

“Even if you don't enjoy it, put your best e🎉ffort into it because it makes a lot of people happy.

"Obviously, racing needs to be the😼 most important thing, but you can give people a lot of entertainment outside of th💎e racing.

"Maybe 20 years𒉰 ago, we just wanted to go and see a race, but now kids want to have a full experience and I think Miami has brought th𓆏at to the calendar.

"Promoters saw that this works ✃because you attract people to the sport, which is what we want."
