Formula 1 has teamed up with multiple Michelin-starred chef and long-time friend of the sport Gordon Ramsay.

Ramsay will line up on the grid with Formula 1 to deliver a world-class culinary experience in the Paddock’s most premium hospitality, F1 Garage.

Located within the inner sanctum of the F1 Paddock and Pit Lane, F1 Garage offers fans an unparalleled interactive experience, immersing them in on-track action while enjoying world-class food, beverages and service.

F1 Garage will return for 10 Grands Prix in 2025, starting in Miami, and followed by Monaco, Montreal, Silverstone, Monza, Austin, Mexico City, Las Vegas, Qatar and the season finale in Abu Dhabi.

At F1 Garage, guests get up close and personal with the cars as they roll into the Pit Lane, before they delve behind the scenes of Formula 1, with exclusive experiences including Paddock, Truck and Garage Tours, Support Race Grid Walks and the F1 Podium celebrations.

They are also treated to special appearances throughout the weekend from F1 Ambassadors, former world champions and drivers past and present.

Ramsay and his team of Executive Chefs will curate a menu of gourmet dishes inspired by each weekend’s Grand Prix and infused with locally sourced ingredients.

Meanwhile, expert mixologists will craft signature cocktails, offering a distinctive selection of drinks that complement the exceptional dining experience.

Formula 1 further stated that the new experience will build on the unprecedented success Ramsay has brought to the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix where he has hosted guests in the Paddock.

In 2024, he transformed F1 Garage into “Ramsay’s Garage” where fans experienced three days of diverse cuisine, including live cooking stations from guest chefs and a pop-up of his world-renowned Lucky Cat restaurant, all overseen by Ramsay himself.

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO, Formula 1, said, “We are thrilled to begin such an exciting collaboration with a world-renowned chef like Gordon Ramsay. F1 Garage is a one-of-a-kind experience in our sport, offering fans unparalleled access inside the world of Formula 1.

“Our vision is to offer premium F1 hospitality through a unique journey not only on the track, but also at the table, with standards of excellence that reflect the passion and soul of our sport.

“We cannot wait to begin this joint venture entirely dedicated to our guests, which will see them enjoy an unforgettable experience, starting from the Miami GP.”

Ramsay said, “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.

“In many ways F1 is like a high performing professional kitchen, so this is the perfect partnership for us and our growing international restaurants group. 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 this May.”
