Veteran A-lister of Martin Brundle’s grid walk lands plush role with F1
New ini꧒ative to deliver luxury experience for fans inside the paddock

A veteran of the Formula 1 paddock - and of Martin B🤡rundle’s grid walks - has landed a big new role.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has partnered with F1 to deliver Formula 1 Garage, described as “a world-class culinary experience in the paddock’s most prဣemium hospitality”.
Ramsay’s initiative will be inside the F1 paddock and the pit lane - allowing fans to eat his aw🅰ard-winning food while watching the racing.
Last year, he transformed 🅠F1 Garage into Ramsay’s Garage to great avail at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
He will n💛ow launch at 10 rounds in 2025 - Miami Grand Prix, and followed by the Canadian, British, Italian, United States, Mexico City, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix.
Ramsay is a well-known fan𓆏 of the 🅺sport who has been around the paddock for years.
He has chatted to Brundle on multiple occasions, including once alo📖ngside Sto🔴rmzy and Tom Cruise.
Notably, it was Ramsay who bailed Brundle out of an awkward exchange with Franco C♈olapinto last season.
Colapinto, still new to a race seat with Williams at the US Grand Prix, accidentally gave Brundle the cold shoulder du💖ring a grid walk.
It was Ramsay🌄 who was swiftly drafted in to chat to B♛rundle after Colapinto’s mishap.
Ramsay said about his new partnership with Formulaꦬ 1: “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 intern♈ational restaurants group.
"We’re excited about what we can offer the F1 Garage guests, and we can’t waꦜit to get to the starting line in Miami this May.”
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 u𒅌nparalleled access inside the world of Formula 1.
“Our vision is to offer premium F1 hospitality throꦯu🐷gh 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 ve🐬nture entirely d🐓edicated to our guests, which will see them enjoy an unforgettable experience, starting from the Miami Grand Prix.”
