Formula 1: Miami Grand Prix sends cease and desist letter to prevent Donald Trump fundraiser during race

The Miami Grand Prix is looking to prevent a fundraiser being held for former President Donald Trump at Sunday’s race.

Race organizers sent a cease and desist letter to Steven Witkoff, a prominent fundraiser for the GOP nominee. Per the Washington Post, Trump is planning to attend the race, and Witkoff’s golf club had advertised a trip to the race in a suite that would have been an event for Trump.

“It has come to our attention that you may be using your Paddock Club Rooftop Suite for a political purpose, namely raising money for a federal election at $250,000 per ticket, which clearly violates the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix suite license agreement,” read the letter, which was obtained by The Washington Post. “If this is true, we regret to inform you that your suite license will be revoked, you will not be allowed to attend the race at any time, and we will refund you in full.”


Trump has resided in South Florida since leaving the White House in 2021 after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. Witkoff, 67, is a real estate developer and longtime supporter of the former president.

The local community voted against the F1 takeover of their community streets and the extreme noise and petroleum fumes impacting the entire community for two weeks.

The RW county commission ignored the community vote and handed over the community to F1.

Screw the plebes.

The owners of sports facilities don’t look kindly on someone using their luxury suites to raise money for someone else.
