The organisers of the Las Vegas Grand Prix are set to frustrate the grid once again this weekend as the driver walk-ons make their return. These proved extremely unpopular when introduced in Miami, although Lewis Hamilton wasn\u2019t totally against the idea.<\/p>\n

F1 introduced the driver introductions to add some fanfare and character to the Miami Grand Prix, which is still finding its feet on the calendar after the first two editions. This year they were hosted by rap icon LL Cool J, although many fans found them to be awkward and cringeworthy.<\/p>\n

Despite facing backlash from the sport\u2019s fans and a plethora of drivers, they will be returning in Las Vegas as F1 looks to go bigger than ever before when it comes to the show and grandeur surrounding this Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Hamilton came out in support of the idea in Miami, much to the contrast of his fellow drivers. “They are trying new things, they’re\u00a0trying to improve the show always, and I’m in full support of it,\u201d he explained after the event.<\/p>\n

“Geez, I grew up listening to LL Cool J, and LL Cool J was there. That’s cool. You look over, you’ve got will.i.am who’s an incredible artist. You’ve got Serena and Venus standing there. I thought it was cool.”<\/p>\n

However, he was very much in the minority. His Mercedes team-mate George Russell said: \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any other sport in the world that 30 minutes before you go out to do your business that you\u2019re out there in the sun, all the cameras on you and making a bit of a show of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
