F1 Miami GP’s Fake Water in Its Marina Becomes Talk of the Town

MIAMI—Sorry Michelle Obama, James Corden and Josh Allen. Although your presence to watch the inaugural Miami Grand Prix has created a lot of buzz, fans’ attention seems to be drawn elsewhere: the fake water in the marina.

Miami International Autodrome showcases a variety of attractions that that city is known for, strategically placing them around the track to give the sport a Miami feel.
