Hundreds of thousands of people are heading to South Florida this weekend for the Miami Grand Prix, and local business owners are anticipating the boost. NBC6’s Niko Clemmons reports

Formula 1's highly-anticipated Miami Grand Prix proved to be a success at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

After an exciting battle, McLaren's British driver Lando Norris secured his first-ever win in Formula 1.

An emotional Norris thanked his family and crew on team radio after he took the checkered flag. “I love you all. ... We did it!”

Max Verstappen started the race from the first position and managed to maintain his lead initially. However, a safety car intervention in the middle of the race allowed Lando Norris to overtake Verstappen and take the lead. When the race resumed, Verstappen was unable to catch up to Norris, who drove away to win the race.

Despite the internal issues and problems faced by his team, Verstappen has been ruling the world of Formula 1 for the past two seasons. In this race, he finished second, while Charles Leclerc from Ferrari secured the third spot on the podium.

Sunday held the main event -- with the race starting at 4:00 p.m.

Over 275,000 attended the sold-out race weekend, with Donald Trump and other celebrities mingling with fans in the paddock.
