Miami Grand Prix Disaster As Track Floods Weeks Ahead Of F1 Return: "Seb Was Right All Along"

The Miami Grand Prix circuit is completely covered in water with just three weeks to go until the event.

The Miami Grand Prix is set to take place on 5-7 May, however, questions are now been raised as to whether it will be going ahead with reports of the track severely flooding.

With just three weeks to go until the event, crew members working on the circuit have released photos of the track completely covered in water, halting all of the preparations. 

A Reddit user shared:

"My friend is part of the crew getting the Miami track ready for this year's race. It's all flooded today."

Other F1 fans were quick to pick up on recently retired Sebastian Vettel's arguments that Miami would be "under water" soon and that action needed to be taken. One fan shared a photo of the four-time champion to Twitter wearing a t-shirt which says the city will be under water by 2060. They wrote"

"Seb was right all along"

Other fans tried to add humour to the reports, joking about the fake water used in the inaugural grand prix last year. The event organisers have confirmed "real water" for this years grand prix. Another Twitter user commented, jokingly:

"They weren’t kidding when they said real water was coming"

No comments have been made yet as to whether the event will still be going ahead so all eyes will be on the developments in Miami over the next coming weeks. 

The next important F1 date is the 28-30 April which is when racing gets underway again for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
