EXPLAINED - What is Inside F1®?

Get access to an exclusive trackside event with hospitality, interactive presentations and guest appearances. Learn more about attending Inside F1® with F1® Experiences.

What is Inside F1®?

Previously known as F1® Insider Access, Inside F1® is an exclusive event that usually takes place at the circuit on Friday night of race weekend for selected F1® Experiences guests. Normally held in F1 Paddock Club™ or Champions Club after the end of Friday’s on-track action, guests at the Inside F1® event enjoy all-inclusive food and drink, interactive presentations and special guest appearances.

The event is typically hosted by a professional presenter such as an F1® media personality or relevant F1® figure. Inside F1® features a series of interviews on the stage, usually involving a current or former F1® driver.

Why is it worth attending Inside F1®?

Inside F1® is probably your best opportunity all race weekend to get up close and personal with a current or former Formula 1® driver, media personalities, team personnel and more! Each guest will provide unique insights during their Q&A on the stage and will often be happy to answer direct questions from guests. If you are lucky, there is sometimes the opportunity for a selfie, autograph and/or a quick chat with our special guests.

Guests can also meet and interact with other Formula 1® fans in a relaxed social setting while enjoying premium hospitality. If you’ve never experienced F1 Paddock Club™ or Champions Club, attending Inside F1® is a great opportunity to spend time inside some of the best high-end trackside hospitality suites in Formula 1®. You will also be able to sample VIP hospitality prepared by professional chefs, which normally includes finger food, starters, mini mains and desserts. An open bar also serves beer, wine and soft drinks throughout the event.
