Though speed will reign supreme this weekend at the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix, it will be Gordon Ramsay and his two Miami restaurants that will be putting the hammer down on flavor.
Both Ramsay’s Lucky Cat Miami and Hell’s Kitchen Miami will be offering special five-course dining experiences during the entire weekend from Friday, May 2 to Sunday, May 4. In addition, chef Ramsay himself will be at the track to provide an amazing dining experience for race fans.
Formula 1 has partnered with the renown chef and long-time friend of the sport. Ramsay will deliver a world-class culinary experience in the Paddock’s most premium hospitality, F1 Garage.

The Paddock, or F1 Paddock Club, is an area of the event at Miami International Autodrome that sits right above the race team garages and lets race fans experience the buzz of pit lane, the roar of the engines and witness the blinding speed as cars go racing past.
F1 Garage is located within the inner sanctum of the F1 Paddock Club and offers fans an even more interactive experience, immersing them in on-track action while enjoying world-class food, beverages and service.
From Friday to Sunday, Ramsay and his team will compliment the race action with cuisine and beverages.
“My passion for F1 is well known but it’s the complexity and pace of the cars, and the talent of the many people building and controlling them, that appeals so much,” Ramsay said. “We’re excited about what we can offer the F1 Garage guests, and we can’t wait to get to the starting line in Miami.”
There will be racing events throughout the entire weekend, but the actual Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix will take place at 4 p.m. Sunday, May 4. Hitting speeds of nearly 200 mph, drivers will do 57 laps on the 3.36 mile course to find out who will be champion.
Though tickets to F1 Garage have sold out for the Miami event, Ramsay’s two local restaurants Lucky Cat Miami and Hell’s Kitchen Miami will be getting in on the action with each offering curated five-course meals.
