How to enjoy the Miami Grand Prix on a budget

You can also watch the race at home or at one of several watch parties happening around the city.

Esplanade at Aventura will have a giant screen broadcasting the Grand Prix on Saturday from noon–5pm and Sunday from 3:30pm–6:30pm. There will also be F1 car simulators and themed cocktails.

Racing Fan Fest, a free F1-themed event, returns to Wynwood from Thursday through Sunday with a Red Bull Racing model car, a pit-stop challenge and screens to watch the race.

Bodega South Beach will host an F1-themed party Saturday night with a guest DJ spinning into the morning. On Sunday from noon–2pm, there will be $5 draft margaritas for Cinco de Mayo.

There will also be watch parties at the Clevelander, Tacology, Playa, Cantina la Veinte and Mau Miami.

Williams Racing — home to the only American driver in F1 today, South Florida's own Logan Sargeant — will bring back its pop-up shop at 700 Lincoln Road this week.

• Try out the team's driving simulators, see the FW46 show car on display and hear directly from Sargeant, fellow driver Alex Albon and former F1 champion Jenson Button during Q&A sessions beginning Tuesday afternoon.

💭 Martin's thought bubble: I attended the Miami Grand Prix in person last year, and it was amazing, but bouncing around the different events in the city was just as fun.
