India, May 4 -- The Miami Grand Prix 2026 became a star-studded event on Sunday, May 3, 2026, and none of the celebrity arrivals caused more excitement than Lionel Messi's. After playing for Inter Miami in their MLS game against Orlando City, the Argentine star showed up at the Miami International Autodrome in a very high-profile manner. Messi, switching from the football pitch to the fast lane, went straight to the Mercedes AMG Petronas paddock as their special guest. Wearing a sleek, technical "J1" inspired outfit that beautifully combined high fashion and the paddock's industrial vibe, the GOAT's presence was the ultimate viral moment of the race weekend.
