HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Race fever is spreading across South Florida and Formula 1 drivers are out and about.
Only Local 10 News was there Wednesday as Williams Racing’s Carlos Sainz stopped by a Home Depot in Hollywood.
Hundreds gathered there to see the smooth operator.
One Miami mom and her son stood in line since 5 a.m. to meet their racing idol.
“She’s been awake since 4 in the morning to get here at 5 in the morning,” Santiago Mejia said. “It’s really cool to have this experience of meeting Carlos Sainz -- a Formula 1 driver.”
“The speed, the passes, just the dynamics of everything. I love it -- I love the sport for a really long time and can’t wait to go to the race,” Carolina Dammert said.
We have so much more on the drivers and the big race you’ll see right here on Local 10.
