The Miami GP powers a billion-dollar engine of entertainment But some are still weighing whether the trade-offs are worth it On a humid Sunday afternoon in 2022, a who’s who of Hollywood’s rolling credits, Silicon Valley tech tycoons and the internet’s favorite micro-celebrities sat comfortably in shaded trackside VIP suites as 20 cars jolted past. Formula One, America’s latest sporting obsession had finally carved out a home in South Florida and it fit Miami’s over-the-top image Four years into F1’s 20-year stay in the 305 the event has solidified itself as a place to see and be seen: everyone from Kardashians to A-list actors to sports stars has lined up for a joy ride around the turquoise circuit’s 19 corners This Sunday’s race will be no different. But a few hundred feet outside Hard Rock Stadium’s walls sits a different side of Miami, one that isn’t even within city limits. And Hard Rock’s history is an example of how much stadiums can have an effect on the people who live near them in the US. is a thriving African-American city – an economic haven for Black Miamians forced out of other neighborhoods as Miami built up and out bring in $60,000 a year and more than 13% of the city’s 110,000 people live in poverty While residents may not position themselves outside the stadium this Sunday F1’s move to Miami Gardens followed a pattern: events that whiter and wealthier neighborhoods opposed – like the world’s largest hip-hop festival – ended up at Hard Rock Stadium The Miami Grand Prix is just the latest example F1 proposed a race in downtown Miami in 2018 just as the sport began to swell stateside Residents in a majority-white neighborhood filed a cease-and-desist order citing traffic and noise concerns The potential for an F1 grand prix down Biscayne Boulevard was quickly squashed by the city council Organizers pivoted their sights to Miami Gardens the largest predominantly Black neighborhood in Florida historically redlined communities as a dumping ground for undesirable spectacles is routine across the US and is “the path of least resistance” an associate professor at Florida State University who centers his research on how stadiums exacerbate environmental inequalities “The decision doesn’t escape me that [the Miami GP] was proposed downtown and they said Residents with addresses lining the stadium sued then-Miami-Dade County mayor Carlos Giménez, F1, Hard Rock Stadium and the Miami Dolphins for racial discrimination led by former county commissioners Betty Ferguson and Barbara Jordan raised similar arguments as downtown Miami homeowners including traffic and public health concerns “We really believe it’s environmental racism,” Ferguson said at the time He recommended locals who had concerns stay inside their homes and wear earplugs has measured air quality and noise across the circuit’s campus each year The results show that noise and air pollution from 2022 to 2024 passed EPA and OSHA industry standards “The air pollution figures are actually lower following the Miami GP than other events because we provide so many alternate transportation and ride-share options to reduce cars on the local roads,” a race spokesperson said “That doesn’t mean that therefore there is no effect because they were unable to show noise pollution,” Kellison says Despite locals saying they would continue to work within the political system for justice haven’t posted since the inaugural grand prix The Guardian spoke to a number of people who said they oppose the race “The political system is probably not in [people who oppose the GP’s] favor right now,” Madeleine Orr a sport ecologist who founded the Sport Ecology Group with Kellison Over the past two years, Miami mayor Francis Suarez garnered backlash for attending the Miami GP once with Florida’s wealthiest man and a second time with his private equity firm Some of the same county commissioners who voted against F1’s presence in the community officially declared 4 May “Formula One Day” last year One of those elected officials included Oliver Gilbert who said: “It’s not a place to dump events that are toxic to people.” Supporters make the economic impact argument: stadiums funnel money into the local community through job creation and tax revenue boosts along with transforming cities into more livable and desirable spaces by bringing more efficient buildings and natural disaster prevention to neighborhoods Hard Rock Stadium is a top employer in the city and the 2025 F1 race will credential 18,000 people Fifteen locally owned restaurants will partner with the track The first three years brought more than $1bn in economic impact and boosted bottom lines for the sport – the 2024 Miami race shattered F1’s viewership record The F1 ruling body’s current environmental standards do not require circuits to think about a race’s impact on host communities she believes the sport is working in good faith to consider how its presence could affect locals Orr will join the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) University as a visiting sustainability professor this year There have been efforts to make sure the race benefits the local community Before Hard Rock started hosting the grand prix the stadium and the event promoter outlined a set of conditions with the Miami-Dade County Commission The Community Benefits Agreement requires F1 to host the race “in a manner that provides substantial economic and community benefits that directly support city residents and locally-owned businesses to participate in the event and promote the city as the first majority African-American city to host a Formula 1 race.” That means providing $5m in community funding and committing to noise mitigation air quality monitoring and racing outside of school hours “F1 in Schools” included opening the sport’s paddock to local students and interns for STEM programming the partnership has settled into a rhythm of community engagement: hosting a “Business of F1 Community Workshop,” creating scholarships for students at Miami Gardens’ two local universities handing out 1,500 free tickets per year for residents and diverting food waste to local food banks The stadium lessened traffic concerns with a $17m investment in tunnels and pedestrian bridges it has allocated a portion of parking revenues to a local neighborhood association a Miami Gardens resident who moved to the area before the stadium was built and focuses instead on the benefits the stadium has brought to the community “It’s not like the [engines] that used to be loud,” Reyno said Orr says bringing a grand prix to a city raises questions we are going to necessarily have a carbon footprint,” she says “But what are the exchanges we can have with the community What kinds of tech transfer can we bring and then leave here What kinds of solutions can be implemented at this place?” But not everyone was convinced by the Community Benefits Agreement Kellison says some questioned whether the agreement was “enough to compensate for the disruption that [the race] is going to cause just quality of life for a weekend.” Two county commissioners voted against the agreement Even before the starting lights go out on Sunday afternoon and engines screech to life the stadium’s community efforts have righted its reputation “Even given what I know and who I work with I will probably side with residents on this,” she says “I don’t know that I would want it in my backyard.” Kellison, who wrote and edited a book about the topic, draws a blank when it comes to the ideal place for a stadium. “I’ve been thinking about this for as long as I’ve been studying sport, and I don’t have an answer,” he said. Some locals proposed that the GP take place 47 miles south But residents there have also raised noise and public health concerns “I think it’s important to recognize the fact that this is not just an isolated group of naysayers who are ‘not my backyard’ people and would oppose everything,” Kellison says “If they’ve been talking about events at the stadium or around the stadium site for a number of years Calling in from his office on Florida State University’s campus Kellison pauses and recalls a line he read once that stuck with him: “Race tracks aren’t meant to be in neighborhoods.” Leer en español An MDT spokesperson identified the driver as Oshane Griffiths refused to let a man board the bus Sunday morning near Miami Gardens Drive and Northwest Seventh Avenue with a Citi bike he believed was stolen the bus driver shot him and another passenger A witness told Local 10 News that the second man Miami Gardens police said the driver was detained for questioning but was not facing any charges as of Saturday morning They later identified the men killed as Ejaash Carter The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office is investigating the shooting bus drivers are not allowed to be armed while working Copyright 2025 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved Chris Gothner joined the Local 10 News team in 2022 as a Digital Journalist TV Listings Email Newsletters RSS Feeds Closed Captioning / Audio Description Contact Us Careers at WPLG Terms of Use Privacy Policy Public File FCC Applications EEO Report Do Not Sell My Info 1.0 Host Exhibit Copyright © 2025 Local10.com is published by WPLG INC.

reporter.  A Miami Gardens man was arrested in Cape Coral Wednesday after police say he placed more than 50 gift cards on the racks of a local business in an attempt to drain the funds once purchased According to Cape Coral Police Department officials officers were called to a business in the 1600-block of Del Prado Boulevard South for a “suspicious circumstance.” A loss prevention officer at the location pointed police to a black Kia Forte that was driving away telling officers the driver of the vehicle placed several compromised/counterfeit gift cards on their racks An officer stopped the vehicle in the parking lot and identified that driver as Garcia Gallego “The investigation on scene revealed that Loss Prevention Officers watched the suspect (via CCTV) go into the store then conspicuously place numerous compromised gift cards throughout their gift card rack,” said CCPD officials in a release “This is a common scam in which suspects will preciously steal the gift card account number and pin information Once the gift cards are legitimately purchased the suspects will then remotely drain the funds from the cards and leave the unsuspecting customer with a zero balance.” Garcia Gallego is alleged to have placed more than 50 gift cards on the gift card rack which ranged in price from $20 to $500 dollars Managers at the store removed all gift cards from the display CCPD stated its investigation revealed that Garcia Gallego visited other businesses in Cape Coral to commit the same crimes Detectives in the Economic Crimes Unit searched the suspect’s car and found a large bag with over 200 compromised gift cards Police said these gift cards were packaged in small bundles and placed into several numbered plastic bags “Several of the gift cards located at both the business and in the vehicle showed signs of being tampered with,” the release states “Garcia Gallego confessed that he gets paid to drive to a new city every week to distribute hundreds of compromised gift cards,” the release states “He also admitted to distributing hundreds of gift cards at additional locations in Cape Coral The Cape Coral Police Department has been able to identify these locations and we are currently working on notifying management at these stores We are also working to notify neighboring agencies.” Garcia Gallego was in custody at Lee County Jail To reach CJ

station Monday to face four felony charges in connection with a deadly late-March crash had alcohol and marijuana in his system when he struck and killed a cyclist on Miami Gardens Drive while driving at more than double the posted speed limit They said he then walked away from the scene Leer en español According to an arrest report from the Miami Gardens Police Department on March 30 near Northwest Seventh Avenue as the cyclist “attempted to cross the roadway from north to south.” The victim ― whose name was not included in the report ― would later die at HCA Florida Aventura Hospital Norman parked his damaged vehicle near Northwest Sixth Avenue and walked towards 182nd Terrace The report states that police encountered Norman’s fiancée at the crash site after he called her and told her to come to the area Police said Norman then came back to his vehicle handed his fiancée his wallet and car keys and “immediately put his hands behind his back.” A statement he allegedly made to police after doing so was redacted from the publicly-released MGPD arrest report “had blood on his shirt and several scratches and cuts to his left forearm area.” Police said Norman smelled of alcohol and his blood alcohol content would later test at 0.10% They said data from Norman’s vehicle showed he was driving 91 mph one second before impact and 85 mph at the point of impact; the speed limit on Miami Gardens Drive is 40 mph Investigators also said he was “never issued” a driver’s license A Miami-Dade judge found probable cause Tuesday to charge Norman with one count of leaving the scene of a crash causing death DUI manslaughter and driving without a license causing death Records show he was ordered to be held without bond A bill to end a dispute over hefty water service surcharges between a pair of Miami-Dade cities is headed to a likely final vote in the Legislature after Senate members amended and passed it by an overwhelming majority Senators voted 36-2 for the measure (HB 11) which is meant to bring parity to the way North Miami Beach delivers water to Miami Gardens It’s a complicated situation. Miami Gardens receives water from the Norwood Water Treatment Plant But the door to future surcharges needs to be firmly shut who is carrying legislation to do that for the second consecutive year it’s taxation without representation,” he said HB 11, which Jones amended so that it contains language from his companion bill (SB 202) specifying that it only applies to Miami Gardens and North Miami Beach The new language would specify that a municipality operating a water and/or sewer utility plant can still levy an up to 25% surcharge to cover the extra cost of providing its services to another municipality — unless the facility rendering the services is in the recipient municipality Senate Democratic Leader Jason Pizzo of Hollywood and Pensacola Republican Sen He said Article VII, Section 18 of the Florida Constitution requires any legislation that causes a local government a significant financial loss — calculated by multiplying 10 cents by Florida’s population presently about $2.34 million — to include a statement of fiscal impact and the posture of this situation is that a group of people got together and went ahead and formed a city (Miami Gardens) and incorporated around a structure and if anybody’s feelings are hurt and think I’m a racist for my position Section 18 of the Florida Constitution generally provides that the Legislature can’t just pass a law that makes counties or cities pay for something unless it is determined that the law is important to the whole state The legislation must also either apply equally to everyone enable the local government to create a new funding source to raise the money or pass with a two-thirds majority in the Senate and House Proposals that won’t cost a locality much are exempt according to attorneys involved in the lawsuit and information Pizzo brought him Rosalind Osgood urged their Senate colleagues to be respectful of each other and refrain from name-calling Osgood said she was “deeply sorrowful” for how Pizzo was treated over a “difference of votes ‘We have to move forward and love and understand that democracy is something we’re going to have a difference of opinion” about “But what we’re not going to do is hate each other and call each other names that are inappropriate.” Garcia agreed and apologized for laughing after Pizzo said “We are so mindful and respectful of each other Jesse Scheckner has covered South Florida with a focus on Miami-Dade County since 2012.

Marttos was originally in school to be a plastic surgeon But after watching Senna lose his life in a crash in 1994 Marttos decided to change course and become a trauma surgeon I realized I was supposed to become a plastic surgeon,” said Marttos Marttos says that his first trackside assignment was a truck race in Brazil where a fiery crash forced a driver to leap and roll out of his burning vehicle He said he ended up face-to-face with the shaken driver — and with his own future in trauma medicine He’s now used his experience to design a fully functional training bay that mirrors the one used at the race track It’s modeled after the meticulous choreography of a pit crew — only with much higher stakes Marttos leads the team of doctors from JMH who work the Miami Grand Prix Gabriel Ruiz is part of that team — and he’s also a race car driver himself “It also serves as a kind of relaxing thing for me to be working this job He also built his own race car from scratch That dual

attendees took in the scene sitting comfortably in shaded trackside suites Some dipped their feet in a pool at the Hard Rock Beach Club the signature day club at the Miami International Autodrome that provides a tropical backdrop for some of the most popular music acts in the city Hard Rock Stadium organizers are used to hosting some of the biggest events in sports: The Super Bowl College football’s national championship game Formula One is just the latest annual star-studded spectacle As F1 has gained popularity in the U.S. in recent years — thanks in part to the popular Netflix series “Drive to Survive” — the Miami Grand Prix has become one of the more appealing stops on the F1 calendar infusing racing weekend with festival-like concerts and parties to draw more people to the track not on television,” said Tom Garfinkel “I think you become a fan at the event So if we can create a great festival atmosphere here for casual fans and then they come they’re going to fall in love with the racing.” Las Vegas was added to the schedule in 2023 and F1 also makes a stop at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin But Miami Grand Prix feels its emphasis on music entertainment and Miami’s culture is what sets its race apart “At the end of the day when you think about that Miami culture you’re thinking about great culinary offerings,” said Keith Sheldon Hard Rock’s president of entertainment and brand management “and you’re also thinking about amazing music.” “Certainly other F1 races have done a great job bringing in amazing musicians and bands and performers to help elevate the offerings,” Sheldon added “But I think that Miami really makes it a part of every race There’s just so much happening around music and entertainment.” In the fourth year of the event’s 20-year stay in Miami a mix of pop and Latin acts filled the entertainment lineup to appeal to both a local and global audience Around 275,000 people were expected to attend the three-day race weekend

Miami Grand Prix auto race Sunday (AP) — The first time Oscar Piastri arrived at the Miami Grand Prix as a Formula 1 driver he was in the slowest car in the field and only narrowly avoided finishing last Fast-forward two years and Piastri and McLaren Racing have come full circle Piastri maintained his advantage in the F1 championship fight by winning at Miami on Sunday for his fourth win through six races this season Piastri has won three consecutive F1 races for McLaren Racing where he and teammate Lando Norris are trying to dethrone four-time defending champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull with Norris on top last season for his first career F1 victory the hard work that’s gone in,” Piastri said of McLaren I think we got lapped twice and to now have won the Grand Prix by over 35 seconds to third is an unbelievable result of the hard work of every single person.” Piastri is the first McLaren driver to win three consecutive F1 races in 28 years; Mika Hakkinen did it with a win in the 1997 season finale and then victories in the first two races of 1998 He widened his lead over Norris in the driver standings to 16 points while Verstappen trails Piastri by 32 points The Red Bull and McLaren were side-by-side and Norris was trying to edge ahead of the Dutchman Norris said Verstappen forced him off track and there was nothing he could do but try to avoid running into a wall — but F1 took no action against Verstappen But it really just how it is with Max — it’s crash or their pass.” Verstappen was unapologetic after fading to fourth and insisted he raced within the rules so I also wanted to have a bit of fun out there,” Verstappen said adding McLaren’s strong start to the season is “not frustrating at all.” “We are here to win and today we were miles off that so it doesn’t really matter,” Verstappen said Norris recovered from the early incident and picked his way back toward the front but not before Piastri took control away from Verstappen on the 14th of 57 laps McLaren has decided it will allow Piastri and Norris to race each other cleanly without team orders and Norris was cleared to challenge his Australian teammate for the victory Norris was able to close

into another car on the opening lap and then crashed on the second lap — a showing that won’t quiet chatter the rookie is on the verge of being replaced at Alpine by Franco Colapinto There have been media reports in Argentina that Colapinto will replace Doohan at F1’s next race It was dismissed at the start of the Miami weekend by Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes who indicated “as it is today” the Australian would still be in the seat at Imola “I think it was a sponsor from Argentina off-camera giving his view on Franco I’m sure there’s a lot of people in Argentina who’d like him in the car this Sunday,” Oakes said about the speculation “We’ve been pretty open as a team that that’s just noise But it’s natural that there’s always speculation there Jack is our driver along with Pierre (Gasly),” he continued who didn’t complete two laps Sunday and finished last has yet to score a point this season through six races His best finish was 13th at the Chinese Grand Prix Andrea Torres

is thrilled to be back home reporting for the station she grew up watching who is from Miami and graduated from Florida International University also interned at Local 10 while she was in college The Emmy Award-winning journalist joined the Local 10 News team in 2013 She wrote for the Miami Herald for more than 9 years and won a Green Eyeshade Award — Oliver Bearman considers the Miami Grand Prix a highlight on the Formula 1 calendar for many reasons The typically sunny weather of South Florida The fanfare of an event that draws plenty of celebrities and athletes And it's the first of three F1 races held annually in the United States an opportunity for his Haas team — the only American-led organization currently competing in the international open-wheel series — to race on home soil a 19-year-old rookie driver who will be racing at the Miami International Autodrome for the first time on Sunday acknowledged that it will be a challenge for his team "I expect a difficult weekend," Bearman said particularly that I haven't been here and it's a sprint (race) weekend And I wouldn't say those are particularly simple shots either but I expect that if I have a good feeling with the car I hope to be able to get as much as I can out of it." The Miami GP is the first opportunity of the season for Haas to compete in front of its home fans but the weekend got off to an uneven start caused an early end to Friday's practice with a crash was given a warning for impeding McLaren's Lando Norris during the session Bearman started at the back of the grid but zipped through the field for what would have been an eighth-place finish and a point for Haas but he was hit with a five-second penalty after the race for an unsafe release and stripped of the point That was followed by a disappointing showing in qualifying later that evening where the British driver again finished last in the field Haas will have a good chance at scoring points Sunday Ocon qualified ninth for his first top-10 starting spot since joining Haas this season He said it was his best qualifying session of the year but the team still had work to do after Bearman's surprising outing And even though you try and put the cars together in the same setup we still see big differences in those cars Mostly inconsistent since its debut season in 2016 Haas improved its on-track performance the past year under Ayao Komatsu who replaced longtime team principal Guenther Steiner for a change of direction after several dismal seasons Haas finished seventh in the constructor standings in 2024 with 58 points its best result since finishing fifth with 98 points behind drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen in 2018 Haas still has never won an F1 race or scored a podium finish but there is excitement about its trajectory behind the new lineup of Bearman the prodigy who raced as a substitute for Ferrari last year before joining Haas as a full-time driver winner of the 2021 Hungarian GP with Alpine and the only grand prix winner to race for Haas "Esteban and Ollie have been instrumental in providing direction and working with the team every day," Komatsu said "not to mention some of the incredible race drives they've produced already." In a busy start to the 2025 season with five races in six weeks Haas has placed in the top eight in three races and is currently sixth in standings with 20 points He and Ocon jointly accumulated 14 points at the Chinese GP in late March when disqualifications boosted Ocon from his seventh-place finish to fifth and Bearman from 10th to eighth Bearman has already established himself as a solid points scorer for Haas as the team continues its climb His debut at the season-opening Australian GP was spoiled by a crash but he scored points in three straight races after that "He's a super quick driver," Ocon said of his teammate I think that's straight away the thing I saw (at first) he's above any rookies that I've seen in the past He's much more prepared than I was when I arrived in F1." Ocon has taken points finishes in all three of his races in Miami with his best coming at the inaugural race in 2022 when he was eighth Sunday will be his first Miami race with Haas This document may not be reprinted without the express written permission of Chattanooga Times Free Press Material from the Associated Press is Copyright © 2025 audio and/or video material shall not be published rewritten for broadcast or publication or redistributed directly or indirectly in any medium Neither these AP materials nor any portion thereof may be stored in a computer except for personal and noncommercial use The AP will not be held liable for any delays errors or omissions therefrom or in the transmission or delivery of all or any part thereof or for any damages arising from any of the foregoing Christina Vazquez Brett Knese – Miami Gardens police are searching for a man who they said shot his elderly mother-in-law on Monday Leer en español officers responded to the 4400 block of Northwest 203rd Terrace just before 11:30 a.m and found an elderly Hispanic woman suffering from an apparent gunshot wound identified only as the victim’s son-in-law shot the victim before taking off in a blue Ford F-150 The victim was airlifted by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital for treatment “There is no threat to the residents of this community,” Miami Gardens police spokeswoman Diana Delgado said “This is a domestic incident that is being handled by our investigation.” “We don’t know what caused him to fire a shot at the mother-in-law but the son-in-law did fire a shot at the mother-in-law who does reside at the residence,” Delgado said Mayra Camaro told Local 10 News she spoke to a man who rendered aid to the woman who was shot The guy who found her said she was talking and she was answering him all the questions and everything,” she said told her about 8-to-10 months ago when he moved out “They had gotten separated because he has a problem with the mother,” she said ‘I know you do.’ (He was) very calm -- never seen him angry Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS Christina returned to Local 10 in 2019 as a reporter after covering Hurricane Dorian for the station Murrow Award-winning journalist and previously earned an Emmy Award while at WPLG for her investigative consumer protection segment "Call Christina." MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Charles Leclerc said he "felt a bit like a passenger" when he crashed his Ferrari SF-25 on his way to the grid ahead of Saturday's Sprint race in Miami Formula 1 drivers exited the pitlane and made their way around the Miami International Autodrome under heavy rain Leclerc lost control of the car in the left-hand kink Turn 10 section sending him heavily into the wall and ending his race before it had even begun I can only blame myself for it," the 27-year-old Monegasque told Sky Sports "Going out with [intermediate tires] in those conditions was probably not the best choice "I felt a bit like a passenger because it's in a straight line and it's not like you are pushing in a straight line so I was just cruising until I completely lost control of the car because of the aquaplaning and I had no way out of it so..." Now I need to move on because there is qualifying in a few hours then I hope we can recover from a difficult beginning of the day." Charles Leclerc crashed out before the sprint race on Saturday as teammate Lewis Hamilton finished third. Clive Rose/Getty ImagesSoon after footage appeared of Leclerc in the wall a radio message from Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton was aired on the broadcast: "I don't know how you put us out on inters here." Yet Hamilton would go some way toward salvaging Ferrari's Saturday once the Sprint got underway the 40-year-old Briton had moved up to sixth thanks to Leclerc's exit before an early change to slick tires on a drying track saw him climb up to third by the time he took the checkered flag And yet his surprising Saturday success very nearly didn't happen Speaking in the post-Sprint news conference Hamilton told members of the media that he very nearly followed Leclerc into the wall on his sighting lap "When we all went out for the [sighting] lap but obviously Charles had that moment," Hamilton said "I had exactly the same moment because I was right behind him and somehow [the car] just stopped going towards the wall right at the last moment to come from that to then get these points The seven-time world champion's Sprint podium saw him move within one point of Andrea Kimi Antonelli – An Amber Alert was issued Tuesday for a young boy from Miami Gardens Leer en español 9-year-old Liam Smith was removed from his “school transportation” by his mother Police said 45-year-old Tameeka Budwah was last seen driving a 2000 four-door Honda Civic with Florida tag RJVL88 He was last seen wearing his school uniform -- a light blue shirt and dark blue pants Anyone with information on Smith’s whereabouts is urged to call Miami Gardens police at 305-474-6473 or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at 1-888-356-4774 David Dwork joined the WPLG Local 10 News team in August 2019 David has covered South Florida sports since 2007 Fla -- Alex Albon and Liam Lawson have both lost their points-finishing positions at the Miami sprint after accumulating penalties for different incidents Albon and Lawson had been two of the star performers of Saturday's shortened event, finishing fourth and seventh respectively But both have dropped out of the top eight -- the points-paying positions under the sprint format -- for five-second penalties That has changed the order behind the front three to: George Russell The sprint was plunged into chaos in the final laps as the wet track dried out prompting a rare need for a pit-stop in the 18-lap contest Proceedings finished under the safety car when Lawson tangled with Fernando Alonso sending the Aston Martin driver into the wall Stewards found Liam Lawson (behind) responsible for Fernando Alonso gliding into the wall. Bryn Lennon - Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty ImagesThe stewards found Lawson was "predominantly at fault" for the collision stating: "Car 30 was attempting an overtake on the outside of Car 14 into Turn 11 Although being able to pull fully alongside the front axle of Car 30 was not ahead of the front axle of Car 14 at the apex as required per the Driving Standards Guidelines Therefore Car 30 was not entitled to be given room at the exit." That verdict came with a five-second penalty Lawson was also handed one penalty point on his super licence The stewards were busy in the intervening period between sprint and grand prix qualifying with Alex Albon also being looked at for how he drove under the safety car in the closing laps Drivers are required to stay within a certain time for safety reasons earning himself a five-second penalty which saw him shuffle down to 11th although it was made clear he had not done anything maliciously The verdict said "The driver of Car 23 was below the minimum time set in the ECU in three consecutive sectors at the beginning of the Safety Car period which is in breach of Art "The Stewards note that the track conditions were not ideal and that no unsafe or dangerous situation was created by the driver and therefore do not issue any penalty points "Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Chapter 4 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules Residents in the City of Miami Gardens are rallying against a proposed resolution seeking to extend council term limits from two four-year terms to three introduced by Councilwoman Katrina Wilson at last week’s meeting limits elected officials to two terms to encourage fresh leadership Wilson initially introduced the proposal for a third term in June 2024 but it faced strong opposition from residents and the city’s Charter Review Committee The proposal that Wilson reintroduced at last week’s meeting would authorize city officials to draft ballot language for a charter amendment to be put before voters at a special election this year Tensions quickly escalated following the councilwoman’s remarks who was first elected in 2018 and is now in her second term after winning re-election in 2022 believes an additional term would allow elected officials more time to complete projects and policies without frequent leadership turnover “I've learned and seen that it takes a lot of time to get things done,” Wilson told The Miami Times after the meeting projects that are started remain unfinished because the person who’s elected is now gone.” Dozens of residents opposed the resolution arguing that the city's charter should remain as is and now you want three,” said Janice Coakley Wilson said that residents who can't attend and voice their views at meetings should still have the right to vote on the proposal She emphasized that the decision to allow councilmembers a third term would ultimately be up to the voters “I’m not suggesting that you’re wrong in your position at all; I’m not suggesting that the third term means that I think that I should have a third term,” Wilson said “We can’t decide in this dais to get a third term yet the misrepresentation of the people is that we are trying to vote ourselves a third term.” A particularly heated exchange took place when Wilson publicly criticized resident Karen Hunter-Jackson for having “ugly politics,” sparking a confrontation between the councilwoman and the former council candidate “Why are you calling me out by name and making this personal?” asked Hunter-Jackson who ran for seat 5 during last year’s election and lost The tensions ultimately led to chaos in the council chambers with the sergeant-at-arms attempting to restore order and police being called in to assist who chaired the meeting in Mayor Rodney Harris’ absence ended up calling a recess due to the outburst The meeting did not continue after Stephens’ call The dispute nevertheless continued outside the chamber doors Many people were concerned that the ongoing disagreement would harm the city's public image particularly as Miami Gardens strives to overcome outdated and damaging stereotypes in recent years Coakley and others argued that extending the term limits would undermine Miami Gardens' founding principles and waste taxpayer money A special election could cost up to $200,000 you need to leave and let somebody else continue or start their own project,” Coakley told The Miami Times Coakley also raised concerns about local priorities suggesting that the funds for a special election would be better spent on community needs such as education and services for seniors voicing his doubts over the proposal’s fairness “You're saying that people who may want to run for office have to wait almost 20 years to do so I don't think she would be pleased if she was still alive to know that there are individuals who are pushing their personal agenda only because they want to remain in office.” READ MORE: New development project set to bring economic boost downtown Opa-locka Hunter-Jackson told The Miami Times that the reasons behind the resolution weren’t valid enough Martin Luther King would have loved to see his dreams come to fruition He didn't get to enter the promised land because they realized that their mission was greater than them but it was about the people,” Hunter-Jackson said She said that she had previously suggested that the council hold a meeting with residents before putting the item on the agenda “If indeed you wanted to see how the residents felt about a possible third term there's a ‘Meet Me Monday’ — how about a town hall meeting so was your intent really to find out what the residents felt about this or was it using the opportunity of a special election?” Wilson said that she had previously discussed the charter review during her "Meet Me Mondays.” She also said she addressed it at a Charter Revision Committee meeting though the audience is not allowed to provide any input there “One of the ways that I could get a discussion with them is to put it on the agenda,” Wilson told The Miami Times Despite pulling the item after the initial controversy last summer Wilson said the pushback she faced from residents became overwhelming residents came out saying they didn’t want a third term,” she said But they kept showing up and saying the same thing I started feeling like I was being bullied." “It's one thing to advocate for what you believe in but it's another thing for people to begin to make you feel uneasy about voicing your concern,” she added She said she felt that residents were attacking her integrity “I sat there for two and a half hours while they expressed themselves who herself clapped and chanted amid residents in the hallway following the meeting said that she is not proud of the behavior she and the residents exhibited she said she’d like to remind everyone that she is also a human being Whether the third-term item will be brought back to the agenda is a matter that Wilson herself says she’s currently unsure of She also mentioned that the $200,000 price tag would only apply if a special election were held including the question on the 2026 general election ballot would only cost up to $6,000 If the council decides to go with the latter then those members whose terms end next year — including herself — would not be up for reelection Miami Gardens residents are determined to have their voices heard and the council need to wake up and listen to the residents,” Coakley said This story was produced by The Miami Times, one of the oldest Black-owned newspapers in the country, as part of a content sharing partnership with the WLRN newsroom.
