The 2025 Miami Grand Prix saw continued dominance for McLaren as Oscar Piastri won his third consecutive race. Piastri’s now won four of the first six races and he’s gaining momentum as the top challenger for the 2025 drivers’ championship.
He had an NFL star cheering him on Sunday in Miami in Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
The Vikings star voiced his support for the McLaren driver — and his dance moves — on X.
The two met up prior to the race and Jefferson taught him how to do the griddy, a dance move Jefferson’s done after scoring touchdowns many times in his NFL career.
‘No one has ever done it in racing,’ Jefferson said. ‘You’ll be the first one.’
‘Well if I do it this weekend, I’ll do it for you,’ Piastri said, and the McLaren driver kept his word.
Piastri also drove Jefferson around the track in a McLaren road car during the weekend.
Jefferson wasn’t the only one, though, as Piastri also drove Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa around the circuit during the weekend as well. Many Miami players were in attendance for the weekend because the race takes place around Hard Rock Stadium where the Dolphins play their home games.
