Lewis Hamilton is launching an F1 Soho House pop-up at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
After debuting earlier this year at the Miami Grand Prix, House 44 is now making its way around six international race locations, with its grand finale landing in Yas Marina Circuit from December 5 to 7, just in time for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025.
So, what's House 44? Imagine a private Soho House, dropped right into the middle of the most exclusive part of a Formula 1 race weekend. It's a luxury suite dressed in signature Soho House style, with unbeatable track views, world-class hospitality, DJ sets, curated art and a mixed drink list that includes a special non-alcoholic serve made with Hamilton's own Almave blue agave drink. It's also a place where F1's elite – including Hamilton himself – just might pop in for a drink and a chat.
The name House 44 is a nod to Hamilton's racing number – a number he's had since his karting days and one that's come to represent one of the most decorated careers in motorsport history.
As a longtime Soho House member, Hamilton's fingerprints are all over the suite, from the design and drinks menu to the curated showcase of memorabilia and Plus 44 fashion pieces from both current and archive collections.
But House 44 isn't just a viewing lounge. Guests will also be able to sign up for behind-the-scenes access experiences across the weekend, including pit lane walks, guided tours of the Paddock and even open-top track rides with expert commentary.
There's also the chance to watch the post-race podium celebrations from up close – one of the most coveted spots at any Grand Prix.
Expect a high-energy off-track atmosphere too, with live DJs, acoustic sets, a bespoke food menu blending local flavours with global inspiration and a specially curated art collection by Hamilton himself. Think of it as a race-weekend house party, with a touch more horsepower.
Hospitality packages for House 44 Abu Dhabi start from Dhs45,577 and include three-day suite access, trackside experiences (subject to availability), full food and drinks and access to all the House 44 exclusives. Experiences like the pit lane walk and Paddock tours are available to book at reception on arrival and are first-come, first-served – so don't sleep on it.
In addition to Abu Dhabi, House 44 is popping up at Silverstone, Zandvoort, Monza, Mexico City and Las Vegas – but this is your last chance to catch it for the 2025 season.
Tickets must be booked through the official link and not via the Soho House app. Details on race-day transport will be shared by email after booking.
So, if you've ever wondered what it's like to spend a Grand Prix weekend in the fast lane – and in signature Soho House style – House 44 in Abu Dhabi is your golden ticket.

McLaren boss offers Brad Pitt second chance to hit 322 km/h
2 July 2025 19:55 LONDON (Reuters) Brad Pitt's F1 movie is topping the box office charts worldwide but the Hollywood A-lister is not done with Formula One, or his fictional big screen character Sonny Hayes, Pitt has been offered a second chance to don race overalls and lap at 200 mph (322 kilometres per hour).McLaren F1 Chief Executive Zak Brown told Reuters on Wednesday that Pitt had a standing offer to "come out and play" - and expected the 61-year-old not only to take him up on it but also take his passion for racing drove a Formula One car for the first time with McLaren at Austin's Circuit of the Americas last month, after driving F2 cars disguised as F1 cars for the movie, and has been raving about the experience ever since. He did have one regret, however. "Ask me how fast I went. Three mph short of 200 mph (322 km/h)," Pitt said at the New York premiere. "I want to go back. I want to hit 200."Brown indicated that it could be arranged."He did a great job, he can drive a race car," he said at a McLaren event for the team's army of fans in London's Trafalgar Square, with title-chasing drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris."I've traded notes with him, it was the time of his life. I feel like he's a racer now, so anytime he wants to come out and play he's more than welcome to. And that's a standing offer."When asked if he expected Pitt to take him up on it, Brown replied: "I wouldn't be surprised looking at the level of enthusiasm that he had. I sent him his data, and he wanted to understand and learn. So yeah, I bet he will.""I wouldn't be surprised if one day you saw Brad Pitt racing some sort of sports car," said Brown. "Paul Newman always used to say he was a racing driver, and an actor in his spare time."He (Pitt) is clearly in good physical shape. He had no physical limitations."Pitt would not be the first Hollywood heartthrob to go racing for real. Patrick Dempsey, star of medical drama Grey's Anatomy, has raced Porsches at Le Mans as did the late Paul Newman, who also founded Newman/Haas Racing.

F1 CEO: Plan in place but 'not even thinking' about Middle East race changes
Formula One has a contingency plan to keep the show on the road should the season-ending races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi be affected by conflict in the Middle East, says chief executive Stefano Domenicali. The Italian, who is meeting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street along with several drivers and team principals on Wednesday as part of an event to mark the 75th anniversary of F1, emphasised there was no current concern those races might not be held. Qatar is due to host the penultimate round of the championship on November 30, with Abu Dhabi following on December 7. Yas Marina Circuit has been a title decider in the past. Iran responded to US participation in Israel's 12-day air war against Iran last month by firing missiles at an American airbase in Qatar, just across the Gulf from Iran. Airline services in the Middle East were heavily disrupted, with some countries closing airspace for a period. Domenicali said Formula One was in daily contact with promoters in the Middle East, who he said remained relaxed, and was closely monitoring the situation. 'To say something on that is very, very difficult,' he said on Tuesday when asked if he felt there was a real risk of the races not happening. 'So far, we don't have this kind of signal and so we are really hoping not. So I don't want to even think about it, mainly for the bigger picture and not for the racing itself … and of course, in case of, we have a plan. 'But let's hope this will not be even thinkable.' Qatar and Abu Dhabi are the last two races in a triple-header on successive weekends that starts with Las Vegas on November 22, with the cars then moving straight to the Middle East. While weather conditions in December would make it tricky to host replacement races at some European tracks, there are warmer options such as Portugal's Algarve circuit, which was used during the Covid-19 pandemic. 'Europe is big, the temperatures are quite mild in certain areas,' said Domenicali, who agreed one circuit might host both races. 'Definitely, we cannot go in places where there will be snow. But as I said, I am not even thinking about that. 'We are not worried at all that this will have an effect on the championship.' Formula One raced in Saudi Arabia in 2022 despite attacks launched by Yemen's Houthis on an oil facility near the Jeddah street circuit. Domenicali said Formula One was there then because it was sure of the guarantees of safety but recognised situations could change fast. 'We just need to be always ready and monitor the situation,' he said.

Premium luggage brand RIMOWA debuts CTV campaign in the UAE
In partnership with Spark Foundry and ThePubverse by ArabyAds, RIMOWA, a global premium luggage brand, has launched its first premium Connected TV (CTV) campaign in the UAE. The campaign debuts across LG's Home Screen environment, designed to reach high-net-worth individuals with high-impact Roadblocks and native display formats. This strategic media launch marks RIMOWA's entry into full-screen CTV storytelling in the region.

The campaign's creatives feature global celebrities such as Lewis Hamilton, Jay Chou, and Rose, which aims to support the brand's modern relevance and luxury edge. 'With RIMOWA, the goal wasn't just visibility, it was intention,' said Fred Rizkallah, Senior Director of Business Development at ThePubverse 'We worked closely with Spark Foundry to create a Connected TV experience that feels considered, not intrusive, one that reflects the quiet confidence of a brand built on quality and purpose.'

The ad placements were curated to align with affluent audience segments using LG's ACR data, reaching users who opt into premium content experiences and ad-free services.

The campaign features a mix of LG CTV Roadblocks, owning the entire screen during peak exposure times, and native run-of-site placements that maintain sustained visibility in high-end digital environments. 'Connected TV gives us a rare opportunity to tell meaningful stories in the spaces where people are most relaxed and receptive,' said Rand El Ghoussaini, Media Manager at Spark Foundry. 'With RIMOWA and ThePubverse, we created an experience that mirrors the brand's essence: thoughtful, refined, and built to resonate with today's luxury-minded audience.'
