As fans tuned in for the pre-race coverage at the Miami International Autodrome, much of the attention wasn’t just on the track—but on the broadcast booth. Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, now a regular contributor for Sky Sports’ Formula One team, drew significant social media attention for her outfit choice.
Some users on social media praised the ensemble as bold and confident, while others questioned whether it matched the tone of a major international sporting event. A few commenters compared the minimalist style of the dress to casual homewear, sparking a broader conversation about fashion expectations for sports broadcasters.
Adding to the attention, Patrick recently posted a photo to social media showing herself with two friends seated casually on a carpeted floor. The caption—“Where was our Mar-a-Lago invite?”—referenced her absence from a high-profile political event. While the post drew its own round of speculation, Patrick has not made any public follow-up statements.
On the racing front, McLaren celebrated a strong performance, with Oscar Piastri claiming the win and teammate Lando Norris finishing second. Mercedes driver George Russell rounded out the podium in third.
While the weekend’s on-track action was full of highlights, it’s clear that off-track moments—including wardrobe choices and social media posts—also played a role in capturing public attention.
