BY JESSE SCOTT H ear those engines revving in the distance? The Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix is pulling into South Florida. The race landed in the 305 for the first time last year, and it was a total spectacle, from its yachts literally docked trackside to plentiful parties around town. Speaking of parties, there are a ton of them leading up to and during the official race happenings. From the Jonas Brothers to Diddy and Deadmau5, here are your options for Miami Race Week. Rick Ross, DJ Snake, Deadmau5, and Tiësto at E11even A mix of mega DJs and one of Miami’s finest will descend upon E11even for what is sure to be a wild five nights. The 24-hour establish- ment’s lineup includes rapper Rick Ross (May 3), DJ Snake (May 4), Deadmau5 (May 5), and Tiësto (May 7). (Saturday’s headliner is still TBD as of press time.)

Sole Ambassador Sporting stars and stripes on his helmet, Sargeant is the lone U.S. driver on the F1 grid — and the first full-time American racer since California-born Alexander Rossi in 2015. Sargeant has said that he doesn’t feel any additional pressure as the only American F1 driver. “Hopefully I can represent [the country] well and make them proud,” he said in an interview with Formula1.com. Fresh Face at Williams Last October, Sargeant made his Formula 1 practice debut with Wil- liams Racing at the United States Grand Prix in Texas. Sargeant was an enticing scouting target: last year, he won two races in the Formula 2 championship, where, unlike Formula 1, the racecars are all the same, putting the focus on driver skill. While Williams originally planned to wait until 2024 to debut Sargeant, the British Formula 1 team announced last fall that it would be parting ways with driver Nicholas Latifi and replacing him with Sargeant. In November 2022, Sargeant was confirmed as a Williams Racing driver for 2023 to race alongside Alex Albon. He made his F1 race debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix in March 2023, finishing twelfth. Florida Boy at Heart Although he now lives in London, Sargeant told The Ringer that he grew up watching NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon and fishing off the Florida coast with his family and friends. He roots for his hometown NFL team, the Miami Dolphins, as well as the Florida Panthers, and like many South Florida natives, he has a favorite seaside eatery: Cafe Martorano in Fort Lauderdale. Before returning to South Florida, Sargeant is scheduled to race halfway across the globe, on the edge of the Caspian Sea, at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit on April 30.
