Event Highlight: Formula One

Miami’s ascension as a global cultural powerhouse is undeniable. From the electric energy of Art Basel to the star-studded spectacle of the Formula One Miami Grand Prix, this city has solidified its status as a world-class destination. Occupying an exclusive waterfront location in the city is Onda Residences, an architectural marvel that offers its residents easy access to the action. As the sleek supercars roar through the Miami International Autodrome, just minutes away, Onda’s inhabitants can bask in the luxury of their Italian-crafted homes, savor the panoramic views, and revel in the luxury of being part of this global phenomenon. 

First held in 2022, the Formula One Miami Grand Prix rapidly became one of the most anticipated events on the racing calendar. Held each May at the Miami International Autodrome, a purpose-built 3.4-mile circuit that weaves through the grounds of Hard Rock Stadium, this high-octane spectacle attracts the world’s top drivers and their diehard fans. 

In 2024, the race reached new heights, with British prodigy Lando Norris claiming his first-ever Formula One victory, edging out reigning champion Max Verstappen in a thrilling duel. The event shattered viewership records, drawing an unprecedented 3.1 million U.S. television viewers, a clear indication that America’s love affair with the sport has only just begun. 

The race extended far beyond the circuit, with a whirlwind of exclusive events and extravagant parties — every corner of Miami pulsed with exclusive grand prix revelry and the city’s top restaurants and chefs pulling out all the stops. The ultra-exclusive Once Upon a Kitchen took indulgence to new heights with a $2,500 per person six-course affair curated by legendary chef Massimo Bottura alongside Juan Manuel Barrientos of El Cielo and Bernardo Paladini of Torno Subito. Major Food Group’s Carbone Beach emerged as the crown jewel, a four-night affair from May 2-5 that featured a $3,000-per-person entry fee. Guests indulged in Carbone’s signature Italian cuisine, immersive theatrics, and live performances from The Chainsmokers.

But it wasn’t just the opulent prix-fixe options — pop-ups and collaborations brought unique culinary events. DraftKings hosted a one-night $350 “Wagyumafia” dinner at Gekko with renowned beef expert Hisato Hamada, while Oslo’s Himkok—ranked 10th best bar in the world by William Reed’s annual World’s 50 Best Bars list, renowned for its house-made spirits and wild- foraged ingredients —took over Julia & Henry’s, bringing a taste of the fjords to Miami Beach. From Michelin-starred extravaganzas to exclusive tasting menus, Miami’s culinary talents were on full display. 

Holding court amidst Miami’s roiling energies, Onda Residences grants its residents unparalleled access to the white-knuckle thrills of the Formula One Grand Prix. Within the exquisitely appointed homes, proprietors host extravagant fêtes, surrounded by the cultural spectacle that descends annually upon Miami during the Formula One race.
