F1 Miami Grand Prix celebrity sightings: Serena and Venus Williams, Tom Cruise, Vin Diesel, LL Cool J and more

F1 has invaded Miami, and the stars have followed.

On the Sky Sports pre-race broadcast, former IndyCar and NASCAR driver turned analyst Danica Patrick remarked that the list of celebrity guests topped 57 pages.

Here's a rundown of the stars present to see and be seen in the paddock and on the grid:

LL Cool J welcomes all 20 drivers to the grid

Martin Brundle gets his redemption with Paolo Banchero

After last year's cringe moment, when former F1 driver and Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle mistook 6-foot-10 basketball player Paolo Banchero for 6-foot-2 NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the two had a lovely moment on the grid.

Serena and Venus Williams

Serena and Venus Williams are often spotted at F1 events in the Americas, and Sunday in Miami was no different. Unfortunately for Brundle, he again scored a double-fault in trying to interview the sisters on his grid walk.
