Formula 1 lights up Downtown Miami

Formula 1 McLaren Car Race Downtown Miami

Formula 1, the pinnacle of world motorsport, lit up downtown Miami on Saturday, October 20th playing host to the final F1 Festival of 2018. The event ran alongside the Formula 1 Pirelli 2018 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Unleashing the spectacle of F1 for fans in the USA, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and two-time F1 World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi in a McLaren put on an impressive display of iconic F1 cars from past and present.

The F1 Miami Festival featured a thrilling live car run down Biscayne Boulevard in the heart of the city. This combined with performances from chart topping double act Silk City – the collaboration of Diplo and Mark Ronson – and international Latin music star, Abraham Mateo succeeded in bringing fans closer to the action on the grid than ever before.

Miami is the fifth international city to host an F1 Festival after London, Shanghai, Marseille and Milan. The initiative forms part of Formula 1’s ambition to attract new followers and engage more deeply with existing fans of the sport.
