Julia Mervis Takes Us to the F1 Miami Grand Prix

With a few sun-soaked days at the Miami Grand Prix behind her, Julia Mervis has officially earned her F1 stripes. “I’m trying to think how I would sum up the vibes: electric, speedy, and very, very hot,” she tells ELLE. This past weekend, all eyes were on frontrunner Oscar Piastri, but the content creator also heard whispers that Max Verstappen just welcomed a new addition to his family—a heartwarming moment in an already exhilarating season.

While she’s keeping a close eye on the race, it’s Lando Norris who has her especially excited. Why? Her best friend, a die-hard McLaren fan, has a soft spot for the driver.

The biggest lesson Mervis has learned on her F1 journey? The Grand Prix isn’t a sprint—it’s a full-on marathon. After 24 hours navigating the circuit in four-inch stilettos, she’s swapped them for sneakers, because the miles between the paddock and the track are no joke.

Watch as Mervis immerses herself in the atmosphere, chats with attendees about their standout outfits, and takes in every thrilling second of the high-octane weekend.
