Formula 1 Stops Trump Fundraiser; Miami Grand Prix Connection To Dolphins Owner Draws Attention
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Formula 1, owned by Liberty Formula One (FWONA, FWONK), halted a Trump fundraiser at the Miami Grand Prix, citing a violation of their suite license agreement. The event's cancellation and the connection to Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, who also owns the Grand Prix, spotlight the race's significance. Ferrari (RACE) unveiled a special car design for the event, celebrating its 70th anniversary in North America. The race, airing on ABC and ESPN+ owned by Disney (DIS), is expected to draw significant viewership. DraftKings (DKNG) lists Max Verstappen as the favorite to win. The growth of Formula 1 in the U.S., partly attributed to Netflix (NFLX), enhances the value of related assets.
