The 2024 Formula One season arrived in Miami, Florida this weekend! And, several A-listers descended on the Florida hot spot for the most glamorous event of the season.&nbsp;The Grand Prix is scheduled for&nbsp;May 5, 2024, at the Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens.

Tom Brady, Kendall Jenner, NFL star Patrick Mahomes, Ed Sheeran, Kendall Jenner, Camila Cabello, and Taylor Zakhar Perez - all were spotted witnessing the&nbsp;car racing spectacular in Miami over the weekend.&nbsp;

Ed Sheeran went on a special tour of the Oracle Red Bull racing garage ahead of the sprint qualifying round on May 3. Sheeran also spoke to Sky Sports’s Ted Kravitz and revealed that he is heading to do a hot lap with George Russell.

"I'm just about to do the hot lap with George Russell, which will be fun," Sheeran told Kravtiz. "I met Verstappen last time, who was lovely; I'm meeting [Charles] Leclerc later, and it's good."

The singer also revealed that he’s a fan of Drive to Survive, a series that documents the hectic and competitive lives of Formula 1 drivers. "I watched all of 'Drive to Survive, and I guess that’s like the best crash course that you can do in it is just watch that, and most people that I know that love it now are into it through that," the singer said.&nbsp;

"It’s nice, man; it’s a circus, though. It’s like so much going on,” Sheeran continued&nbsp;

Saudi Arabia on Thursday said that it will host its first Formula One Grand Prix for the first time next year with the Red Sea city of Jeddah set to host a night race.&nbsp;

"Hosting this event is part of the 'Vision 2030' project, with the support of our leadership and especially His Highness the Crown Prince," Sports Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki said, referring to the kingdom's transformation plan.

Saudi Arabia has been locked in for the 2021 season as part of the record 23-race F1 programme as the motorsport seeks to bounce back stronger after a shorter 2020 season that has been hampered due to COVID-19 pandemic.

"We hope to overcome this pandemic and that people will be able to attend, but things aren't clear yet in this regard," Prince Abdulaziz told a press conference.

Formula One has been under the spotlight over staging a race in Bahrain and the addition of Saudi Arabia might escalate scrutiny from human rights watchers.

Saudi Arabia, along with rival Qatar, is also competing to host the 2030 Asian Games.&nbsp;

Under de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s “Vision 2030” master plan, Saudi Arabia is aiming to clean up their image of rights abuses and export of hardline technology.

Critics say that in a country where two-thirds of the population is under 30, the sporting drive is aimed at blunting public frustration over economic downturn and soaring youth unemployment.

"Saudi Arabia has worked hard at 'sportswashing' its reputation -- trying to use the glamour of sport as a public relations tool to improve its international image," Amnesty International said earlier this year.

Saudi Arabia set to host F1 GP for first time in 2021

Three names synonymous with glory and success will grab attention for contrasting reasons this weekend when the once-legendary Nurburgring hosts a Formula One race for the first time in seven years.

Lewis Hamilton will be seeking, at the second attempt, to equal Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 wins while the seven-time champion German's son&nbsp;Mick is set to make his F1 debut in Friday's opening practice with Alfa Romeo.

Alongside them, Sebastian Vettel – the last winner at the historic venue in 2013 – will be bidding to avoid any banana skins as he embarks on his closing chapter with Ferrari, having admitted on Wednesday that his spell with the Italian team has been a failure.

All three men and the rest of the travelling F1 circus are expected to face severely cold conditions with rain and low temperatures forecast for the weekend's inaugural Eifel Grand Prix.

For Hamilton, there is more at stake than a chance to claim another record as he presses on in pursuit of equalling Schumacher’s haul of seven drivers' championships.

After his disappointment at the Russian Grand Prix, where he was handed two controversial five-second penalties on his way to a fighting third and a subsequent outburst, in which he claimed there was a conspiracy to slow him down, he will be seeking to reclaim his dominance and dignity.

Like Vettel, he is a former winner at the track which, in a previous incarnation as the feared ‘Nordschleife’, witnessed the birth of the ‘Silver Arrows’ in 1934, when Manfred von Brauchitsch won the International Eifel Race.

Hamilton triumphed in 2011 with McLaren, powered by a Mercedes engine, but he has not claimed victory in the Eifel mountains since joining the current Mercedes works team.

Mercedes have registered only one F1 win at the venue – delivered on the daunting ‘old’ circuit by Juan-Manuel Fangio in 1954 – and may not find it easy this weekend despite their absolute dominance since the start of this Covid-19 affected season.

Hamilton goes into the race with a 44-point lead in the drivers’ title race ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas, who won in Sochi two weeks ago and remains determined to close the gap on the six-time champion.

"I won't give up and we'll keep pushing,” he said, mindful that Hamilton is expected to react to his testy defeat in Russia, since when the defending champion has kept a low profile, with a typically inspired display.

<h2>- 'Surreal' -</h2>

&nbsp;

Formula Two championship leader Mick Schumacher will not be the only one of Ferrari’s junior drivers in action at the German circuit as his rival and colleague Briton Callum Ilott is due to drive for Haas on Friday morning.

Schumacher, 21, said it will be a special experience to make his debut on home German soil. He leads Ilott in the F2 title race and both will be vying to impress in the hope of landing an F1 seat next year.

Ahead of his debut, Vettel gave Schumacher a warm welcome. "It was surreal to see him in his father’s Ferrari at Mugello," he said. “He is just a nice young man and, knowing who his father is, and what he meant to me, it was very special.

"This situation is very difficult for him, but I think he is coping with it in a mature way for someone so young.”

Schumacher added: “It looks like it is going to be wet – every time I test a new car, it is always wet! I hope I can do a few laps and do my best.”

Vettel, who regarded Michael Schumacher as his racing hero, said he had failed at Ferrari because he failed to win a title. “That was my mission,” he said. “So, I have failed. I didn’t manage to do that.”

His former team Red Bull are likely to mount the main challenge to Hamilton and Bottas, in their 2020 ‘black arrows’ cars, with Max Verstappen leading the way just days after engine-suppliers Honda announced they will withdraw from F1 next year.
