Miami F1 Grand Prix Weekend

No Comments

Fast cars, sunshine, and celebrities, here is an overview of the exciting race weekend in Miami!

Formula 1’s influence in Miami continues to grow with this year’s Miami Grand Prix garnering international attention and attendance by high profile celebrities. This is the third year of the race with the inaugural prix held in 2022.

As the race got started, Max Verstappen was the heavy favorite (having won both the 2022 and 2023 Miami Grand Prix). Verstappen and Red Bull have been an unstoppable force lately and is the 2021, 2022, and 2023 F1 World Champion.

Verstappen started the race strong but after a crash on lap 29, Norris was able to have a strong launch, overtaking him on strategy using the slower safety car speeds, smartly timed pit stop, and making the most of his tire life to take the lead. Norris’ lead grew to 8 second gap over Verstappen by the finish. This is Norris’ first Grand Prix win and the first win for McLaren in the United States since 2012.

The top five finishers are as follows:

Lando Norris (4), McLaren-Mercedes
Max Verstappen (1), Red Bull-Honda RBPT
Charles Leclerc (16), Ferrari
Carlos Sainz (55), Ferrari
Sergio Perez (11), Red Bull-Honda RBPT

Select members received access to exclusive VIP experiences at the Start/Finish Suites, the Boathouse Club at turn 5, and the Turn 18 Grandstands. Suite and Boathouse experiences included a fixed menu with a variety of complimentary cuisine and drinks throughout the race.

Big name celebrities flooded Miami for the race weekend including Tom Brady, LeBron James, Kendall Jenner, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Donald Trump, Patrick Mahomes, Ed Sheeran, and Rihanna.

Select is proud to have partnered with Formula 1 and we hope our members had a wonderful time at this year’s race.
