‘A trip of a lifetime’ – F1 Unlocked Miami competition winners reflect on their experience at the Miami GP

F1 Unlocked brings fans closer with unforgettable moments and F1 fan experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Watch and read about their experience below.

Trey and his family did the Miami Grand Prix like a VIP thanks to their F1 Unlocked competition win, with three days in the amazing Vista Club hospitality, complete with a Paddock Tour, seeing drivers up close, three days of racing, hotel and flights.

How did you hear about/enter the competition and have you been to a race before?

I heard about the competition through the F1 app and ads on Instagram specifically. I had never been to a race before, it was always something I had hoped to get an opportunity to do someday, but this was so cool to experience with my wife Allie and sister-in-law Alyssa and her husband Anthony. 

What was your reaction when you won?

I was so excited to get the initial email that I had won. I thought it was too good to be true, but I was so beyond excited to get the initial email and phone call! 

What was your highlight of the weekend?

The highlight for me was getting to see the paddock with Naomi Schiff and getting to see the behind-the-scenes things. We had a wonderful host from F1 as well that gave us a lot of access downstairs in the paddock area as well. Getting to see the F1 Academy cars up close as well was super cool and fun to see the difference. 

Who was your favourite team/driver that you saw?  

I was super excited to see anyone, I am a big Alpine Fan so it was amazing to see their garage area. We got to see several drivers, but seeing Charles Leclerc walk by us in the paddock was so cool after the Sprint race leading up to Qualifying. 

Can you sum up your weekend in a sentence?

It was the trip of a lifetime, and such an amazing experience to have the access we were given to the track and paddock. 

Would you recommend F1 Unlocked to a friend?

I would absolutely recommend F1 Unlocked to everyone, anytime you see a contest enter! You never know if you will be chosen, you can’t win if you don’t enter! 

Thank you again for the amazing trip it was just such an incredible experience!
