Grand Prix Weekend Guide
Grand Prix weekend is here! Whether you’re heading to the track, looking for plans on the day or hosting a viewing party at home, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the thrill of Formula 1 racing with friends, and celebrate in style. From what to wear to food and cocktails that scream “race day,” here’s your ultimate guide to making the most of the weekend.
HOSTING A VIEWING PARTY AT HOME?
Turn up the heat at your party with our Ferrari inspired cocktail recipe and playful food ideas.
FERRARI FUSION RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
30ml Abosult Vodka
15ml Green Apple liqueur
15ml Strawberry syrup
30ml Cranberry Juice
15ml Lemon Juice
Apple cheek
METHOD
Cut your apple cheek in to thin slices, spike onto a bamboo skewer and fan out. Dip your cocktail glass into a shallow dish of sugar to create a rim. Pour a dash of lemonade into your glass. Shake all other ingredients with ice in a shaker and strain into your glass and top with your apple garnish.
PIMP YOUR PARTY FOOD
Why not have some fun on race day and serve up some red hot snacks? Think beetroot slider buns, buffalo chicken, red velvet cupcakes & bloody mary’s. Turn it up a notch and create some cute checkered flag packaging to serve them in!
TRACKSIDE STYLE TIPS
Heading to the to the Grand Prix and don’t know what to wear? The F1 isn’t just about the fast cars—it’s also a chance to look slay whilst staying comfy all day long. Check out our tips for what to wear to race day at Albert Park.
- Think casual meets cool. Channel your inner F1 fan and throw on some team merch—whether you’re supporting Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull, or McLaren. Keep things chic by mixing these pieces with elegant separates: a baseball cap with a linen set, for example, or a team T-shirt tucked into crisp denim.
- Don’t have any merch? Channel the colours of your favourite team, pops of red or blue with a neutral base to show your support and get into the vibe.
- Expect to be on your feet a lot, so make sure your footwear is comfortable. Go for a pair of stylish sneakers that can take you from the track to the afterparty without missing a step.
- If you’re heading to more than one day, build your wardrobe up to the Sunday. The first day of F1 is a practice session, which calls for casual attire. Wearing a fitted tee with some high waisted jeans and boots is a great practice day look. On qualifying day, go for a look that’s a touch dressier, mixing it up with maxi skirts or sundresses. Save your favourite outfit for race day
