Like every event in Miami, Miami Race Week has evolved into a plethora of events, both official and unofficial, including plenty of parties and activations around the city. The Miami Grand Prix itself is also more than just racing; it has a party-like atmosphere that attracts the glitterati, who will find plenty of food and beverage options waiting for them at the Autodrome, including plenty of Miami chefs and restaurants.
If your focus is more on what's happening on the track, don't worry; all your favorite racers will be there: Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, and, of course, Max Verstappen.
