The Italian Grand Prix was the destination for our second collaboration with Formula 1Ⓡ and Lewis Hamilton
Tuesday 9 September 2025 By Emma McCarthy
Following on from the success at Silverstone this summer, the second race with Formula 1Ⓡ and Lewis Hamilton took place this weekend at Monza’s ‘Temple of Speed’, home of the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio D’italia 2025, and renowned as one of the fastest circuits on the calendar.
House 44 – our exclusive hospitality suite, named in honour of Hamilton’s iconic racing number – was situated in the F1 Paddock Club™, directly above the F1 Garage, offering guests unparalleled views of the finishing straight that sees drivers reach top speeds of more than 220mph.
As the home of Ferrari – Hamilton’s racing team – the atmosphere at House 44 in Monza was electric. Guests were served the San Lollo Spritz, a signature cocktail designed to celebrate our local House, Soho House Rome, while British singer Rex Orange County performed a special live acoustic set in the suite on Sunday ahead of the race.
Among the weekend’s highlights, House 44 guests were also given exclusive access to the post-race ceremony. Regarded as one of the most iconic podium celebrations in Formula 1Ⓡ, fuelled by the passion of the Italian fans and a legendary spectacle in the sport, members celebrated with the teams as the winners lifted their trophies.

Next month, House 44 will head to the Mexico City Grand Prix, renowned for its high-altitude circuit and vibrant party atmosphere. In November, you can join us at the Las Vegas Grand Prix to witness drivers streak down the world-famous Strip at night. And finally, we’ll be heading to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for the high-adrenaline, high-stakes season finale.
Along with a track-side seat to all the action, a House 44 pass also offers members priority access to exclusive experiences throughout the race weekend. Highlights include a guided tour of the circuit on board an open-top truck, with an expert host sharing insights on how the drivers navigate every high-speed turn, and an Aramco F1® Pit Lane walk offering a behind-the-scenes look at the mechanics working in the team garages. The F1 Paddock Club™ tour also gives members the opportunity to roam among a who’s who of sporting legends in between the races, while the photo safari gives them access to a restricted section of the track for an up-close experience of the sights and sounds of the race as the cars roar past.
On Saturday morning, members enjoyed a special Q&A with Hamilton himself, with the driver discussing what it means to race for Ferrari in front of a home crowd and the warm welcome he received from the Tifosi on his arrival in Italy earlier in the week. He also chatted about his career, including his contribution to the sport, the rise of racing-inspired fashion, his off-track ventures, and Mission 44. Of course, that’s not forgetting his special shout-out to his dog, Roscoe.
The following day, Mission 44 CEO, Jason Arthur, and F1 pundit Ariana Bravo also sat down for a Q&A. The pair discussed the work that the Mission 44 team are doing to create opportunities for young people from underserved communities, especially in STEM and motorsport. Arthur touched on Hamilton’s own childhood, and the way his personal experiences and journey to Formula 1® has inspired his work.

A hospitality suite with a difference, House 44 is furnished with signature Soho Home interiors to ensure that members feel at home. Created in collaboration with Hamilton – a Soho House member for over 10 years – the space also features a curated exhibition of racing memorabilia celebrating his legendary career, alongside a curated edit of pieces from his Plus 44 streetwear collection, inspired by race-day nostalgia. All guests at Monza also received a House 44 goody bag, including a Plus 44 cap, the new Soho Home book, Bringing The House Home, Vol 2, and some Cowshed products.
