At The Track — 2026
Ferrari Paddock Club
Walking into the Ferrari Paddock Club, I expected to spend most of the afternoon looking at cars. Instead, I ended up remembering the conversations far more than the machinery. Surrounded by the energy of race weekend, fans gathered for a rare glimpse into the moments beyond the racing.
Beyond the track, the magic of Formula 1 comes alive.
Before the race, the official Melbourne Grand Prix winner’s trophy arrived at the club, giving fans the chance to see one of motorsport’s most iconic symbols up close before it took centre stage on the podium.
The excitement continued as Lewis Hamilton returned to the Paddock Club for an interview, sharing his thoughts on the weekend before signing memorabilia for lucky Ferrari fans. Charles Leclerc also joined the room, discussing the season ahead and offering a more personal glimpse into life beyond the track.
The faces behind the helmets.
Away from the roar of the engines and the pressure of the race, the Ferrari Paddock Club captured the moments in between; the conversations, connections, and memories that make a Grand Prix weekend unforgettable.
The moments between the racing are what make the weekend unforgettable.
Pit Lane Walks
With sunshine replacing last year’s rain, the 2026 pit lane walks offered a rare chance to step inside the world of Formula 1. Walking alongside the garages, fans could get closer than ever to the cars, teams, and preparation behind the race.
A glimpse behind the garage doors.
Seeing the Ferrari cars sitting outside the garage was a highlight, while watching the Williams team practice pit stops right in front of us revealed the speed and precision required from every crew member. Walking past the McLaren garage and seeing the car up close was another unforgettable moment.
Where every second matters.
On race day, we had the perfect view of Charles Leclerc’s (#16) pit stop. In a flash, the Ferrari crew surrounded the car before sending it back onto the track, a moment that showcased the teamwork and precision behind every race.
Seconds of chaos. Perfectly executed.
Being so close to the action offers a completely different appreciation for Formula 1, not just the speed of the cars, but the people and passion that bring each race to life.
