Moët Hennessy and Formula 1 launch fine dining experience that travels the race track. Moët Hennessy and Formula 1 unveil The Out Lap, a 12-seat moving fine dining experience debuting at Spa in 2026. What it means for corporate hosts. Moët Hennessy and Formula 1 have unveiled The Out Lap, a hospitality concept billed as the world's first moving fine dining experience staged on a grand prix circuit, with its debut set for the Formula 1 Moët & Chandon Belgian Grand Prix 2026 at Spa-Francorchamps. For UK firms that use grand prix weekends to entertain clients, the launch signals a fresh tier of corporate hospitality, one that puts guests on the track itself rather than in a suite overlooking it. With Spa a short hop from the UK via Brussels, the Belgian round is already a fixture in many SME entertainment calendars, and this adds a headline option at the top of the market. Twelve seats and a travelling dining room. The concept takes its name from the lap a driver completes from the garage to the starting grid. Guests, limited to just twelve per experience, board a travelling dining room that moves directly through the circuit, following a bespoke route designed around each grand prix and stopping at the track's most celebrated locations. At each stop, a former racing driver shares personal memories of the circuit's defining moments. Every chapter of the journey is matched with a dish created by a leading chef and paired with wines and spirits from the Moët Hennessy portfolio. Each edition is designed to be unique, with every circuit inspiring its own route, stories and menu. The approach reflects a wider shift in corporate entertaining, with venues reporting that most corporate events now include experiential elements rather than conventional wining and dining.

The inaugural edition takes place at Spa-Francorchamps, home to legendary corners including Eau Rouge, Raidillon, Pouhon and La Source. Moët Hennessy has invited Yannick Alléno, the world's most Michelin-starred chef and chef ambassador for race title partner Moët & Chandon, to create an exclusive menu conceived to be experienced in motion. The choice of a marquee chef taps into changing appetites among wealthy travellers, who are increasingly looking beyond the traditional fine dining format in favour of experiences they cannot buy elsewhere. After Belgium, The Out Lap will travel to the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix, the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia and the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Gran Premio de España, with each stop offering a new interpretation of the concept. Part of a ten-year luxury push into F1. The Out Lap is a flagship expression of the ten-year global partnership between LVMH and Formula 1, announced in 2024 and launched in 2025, which brought Louis Vuitton, Moët Hennessy and TAG Heuer into the sport. Formula 1 has framed the deal as a bridge between global sport and entertainment. The experience draws on Moët Hennessy houses including Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, Belvedere Vodka, Glenmorangie, Whispering Angel, Volcan de mi Tierra and French Bloom. Pricing and booking details have not yet been announced, but with twelve seats per edition, demand from corporate hosts is likely to far outstrip supply. F1 hospitality has been moving steadily upmarket, from track-side suites to official afterparties built around corporate entertainment programmes, and The Out Lap sets a new benchmark for what a grand prix invitation can look like.

Flexjet and Formula 1 team up: what it means for owners. Grid walks and paddock passes used to be the kind of access money couldn't easily buy, even for people who own a piece of a jet. That changes now. Flexjet has signed a multi-year deal naming it the Official Private Aviation Supplier of Formula 1, announced at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix weekend. Flexjet is folding paddock culture directly into its ownership product, merging two industries built on precision, speed, and global logistics. Discover more Air Travel Recreational Aviation For Flexjet's fractional owners and jet card holders, the partnership opens doors that used to require F1 paddock connections most people simply don't have. And for the broader private aviation industry, it signals something bigger: motorsport has become the preferred playground for a younger, faster-moving class of private flyer. What the deal actually covers. Discover more Personal Aircraft Recreational Aviation Aviation Industry Under the agreement, Flexjet will manage executive travel for the Formula One Group, flying team executives and staff around the globe using sustainable aviation fuel through its existing sustainability program, a meaningful commitment given how much F1's calendar has expanded, with races now stretching across five continents in a single season. But the part that will matter most to current and prospective owners isn't the executive charter piece. It's the hospitality layer built on top of it. * Paddock access: Flexjet owners get behind-the-scenes entry to areas normally reserved for teams and sponsors * Starting grid access: A rare, up-close view of the cars and drivers moments before lights out * Trackside hospitality: Access to premium F1 hospitality venues at select races, with the kind of amenities you'd expect at a five-star property, just parked trackside * Digital content series: A collaborative production exploring how each organization runs global logistics at scale None of this replaces the actual travel product. It layers on top of it, turning a fractional share into something closer to a lifestyle membership. Why Formula 1, specifically. Flexjet Global CEO Andrew Collins has pointed to internal booking data suggesting the average age of the company's private flyers has trended notably younger since 2020, a shift that, if it holds across the industry, would mark a fast change for a business that spent decades courting retirees and corporate executives in their sixties. (Editor's note: Exact figures should be confirmed against Flexjet's official statements before publication.) Formula 1's audience skews younger, more international, and increasingly female, a demographic shift the sport has cultivated aggressively since its Netflix-fueled resurgence. Aligning with that audience makes sense for a company trying to attract the next generation of fractional buyers, not just retain the current one. A fleet built to keep pace. The timing lines up with Flexjet's own expansion. The company reports a fleet size in the hundreds of aircraft, with additional deliveries scheduled this year, and says its transatlantic flying has climbed significantly year over year. (Editor's note: Confirm precise fleet count, delivery numbers, and growth percentage against Flexjet's official fleet page or press materials before publication.) That growth tracks closely with F1's own international sprawl. Races in Miami, Las Vegas, and Qatar have joined the calendar in recent seasons, and Flexjet's owners increasingly fly the same routes the sport does. That overlap isn't a coincidence. Both are chasing the same client. That buyer moves fast and globally, and cares less about legroom than about who else is in the room. How this compares to other lifestyle tie-ins. Private aviation companies have flirted with sports and entertainment partnerships before, but most stuck to branding. This one goes further by trading logo placement for actual experiential access. | Partnership Type | Typical Perk | Flexjet and F1 | | Sponsorship branding | Logo on car or trackside signage | Not the focus | | Hospitality suite access | General grandstand or suite tickets | Paddock and grid access | | Content collaboration | Rare, usually one-off | Ongoing digital series | Chairman Kenn Ricci has been vocal about wanting Flexjet to feel less like a transportation vendor and more like a lifestyle brand. This deal is the clearest evidence yet of that strategy in motion, prioritizing ultra-luxury access over the kind of tail-fin branding other operators still lean on. What owners should watch for next. Details on exactly how many races will offer this access, and how owners request it, haven't been fully published yet. Expect Flexjet to roll out specifics race by race, likely starting with marquee events like Monaco, Las Vegas, and Abu Dhabi, where hospitality infrastructure is already built for high-net-worth guests. If you're a current fractional owner or jet card holder, it's worth reaching out to your account rep now rather than waiting for a mass email. Access to something like the starting grid is going to be limited, and early movers will likely get first pick on race selection. Owners who book early will find out fast whether that promise holds up at Monaco next May, when hospitality demand and paddock capacity will collide for the first time under the new arrangement.

Mission 44 and Lewis Hamilton host 40 students at Silverstone for an inspiring F1 experience inside Mission 44: Lewis Hamilton gives 40 students unforgettable access to Formula 1. Mission 44 was present at Silverstone last weekend to continue its mission of breaking down the barriers that limit opportunities for talented students while increasing inclusion across STEM fields and motorsport. Working alongside Formula 1, the foundation brought together teams, partners and industry experts at the Igniting Inclusion Summit to explore the steps needed to improve access to and support for talented students from underrepresented backgrounds who aspire to careers in racing. Red Bull's Pierre Waché denies Max Verstappen's growing frustration rumours Five years after the publication of the landmark Hamilton Commission report, Accelerating Change, the Igniting Inclusion Summit provided an important opportunity to reflect on the progress made in widening access to Formula 1 while also setting out a clear vision of what still needs to be achieved. A special conversation with Lewis Hamilton and an unforgettable visit to the Ferrari garage. Last Thursday, 40 students from Mission 44 partners AFBE-UK, upReach, Stevenage Borough Council and Silverstone UTC gathered at the Silverstone UTC campus for a special meeting with Mission 44 founder Lewis Hamilton. Speaking with the students, the British driver reflected on his journey to Formula 1 and explained why creating greater opportunities for young people remains at the heart of Mission 44's work. The students then shared their own thoughts on what needs to be done to improve access to STEM careers and help build a more inclusive motorsport industry for future generations. The group later headed into the heart of the Formula 1 paddock for an unforgettable afternoon, enjoying an exclusive visit to the Scuderia Ferrari garage. In addition to touring the garage, the students had the opportunity to see the LEGO Formula 1 mini cars that would take part in the Silverstone driver parade on Sunday. They also met the engineers and designers behind the project, asking questions about the creative process, the technical challenges and the teamwork required to bring these one-of-a-kind racing cars to life. Back at Silverstone UTC, the day concluded with an interactive session led by IBM, a Mission 44 partner. During the workshop, the students explored how emerging technologies - including artificial intelligence, data and digital innovation - are shaping the future of motorsport while opening up exciting new career opportunities. Since its launch in 2021, Mission 44 has worked closely with schools, charities and industry partners such as Formula 1 to create more inclusive pathways into STEM careers and motorsport, already achieving significant and encouraging results.
