Williams announces 2026 F1 Miami Grand Prix grandstand takeover

Williams has announced that it will be taking over a grandstand at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix.

Fans of the Grove outfit will have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the grandstand, which will include a special edition Atlassian Williams Racing cap and team flag and an entry to win a meet and greet with either Alex Albon or Carlos Sainz at the team's fan zone in Downtown Miami.

“Everyone at Atlassian Williams Racing is incredibly excited for the Grandstand Takeover in Miami and to see all our fans wearing Williams blue in The 305," Marcus Prosser, marketing director of Williams, said. 

“This Grandstand Takeover is the latest opportunity to get unparalleled access to the team, building on our phenomenal Fan Zones in city centre race locations across the world in recent years and our unique online offering.

"There is so much to look forward to in 2026, and with Miami being the first American race on the calendar it is the perfect opportunity to do something special as we race around the home of the Miami Dolphins.

“Announcing this unique collaboration ahead of the Miami Dolphins' game in Madrid, Carlos' hometown, brings together three hugely-passionate fanbases that demonstrates the truly global nature of our sport and unites our fans from Madrid to Miami.”

This is our way to connect supporters across the world and we can’t wait to welcome Atlassian Williams Racing fans to Miami Gardens for another spectacular event in 2026.”
