Formula 1 News: Powerhouse Line-up for Autosport Business Exchange Miami
The FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX and Motorsport Network today announced a special race-week edition of Autosport Business Exchange (ABX) – Motorsport Network’s global leadership series and forum for the business of racing – presented in Miami for the first time in an official partnership with a Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Set against the first U.S. race of the 2026 Formula 1 season, the event will convene influential voices from across Formula 1, business, technology, entertainment, and culture. The line-up will include Stefano Domenicali, Eddy Cue, Mary Barra, and Tom Garfinkel.
The collaboration combines the power and influence of two platforms that shape the sport in different ways: the Miami Grand Prix, one of Formula 1’s most visible and culturally magnetic weekends, and Autosport Business Exchange (ABX), Motorsport Network’s global leadership series for crucial conversations shaping the business of racing. Now in its second season, ABX has cemented itself as the premier global forum shaping the sport’s future with impactful events in London, Monaco and New York.
The partnership creates the kind of room race week rarely allows—exclusive discussions among dynamic leaders, influential voices, and decision-makers, all unfolding trackside.
Katharina Nowak, President, FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX, said:
“The Miami Grand Prix is more than a race; it is a platform where sport, entertainment, business, and culture come together in a way that feels distinct to this city, and increasingly central to Formula 1’s momentum in the United States. Partnering with Motorsport Network to bring ABX to Miami during race week adds a meaningful new dimension to that vision, creating a shared stage for the ideas, alliances, and influential conversations shaping what comes next at the intersection of racing, business, and culture.”
Werner Brell, CEO of Motorsport Network, said:
“Autosport Business Exchange convenes the most important conversations in the business of racing and we do it in the moments that matter most. The Miami Grand Prix is a defining event on the calendar, especially this season, as racing picks up again after a five-week hiatus. It also marks the first U.S. race of 2026 bringing the sport’s commercial, cultural, and global momentum into sharp focus. More influence. More relevance. More ambition. Bringing ABX into the heart of race week, in partnership with Miami Grand Prix, gives us the right setting to surface the leaders, trends, and ideas defining what comes next.”
PROGRAMMING
This Miami edition of Autosport Business Exchange will explore how Formula 1’s next era is taking shape in real time—from the leaders shaping the sport across racing, media, and experience to the brands, technologies, and commercial ambitions using Miami as a launch pad for what comes next. At a moment of substantive change across regulation, fan experience, partnerships, and platforms, the conversation will turn to how innovation is influencing every layer of the sport.
As a featured part of the agenda, Women Drive will bring one of the event’s most compelling conversations to the stage. A special edition of the Miami Grand Prix’s ongoing franchise, it will explore leadership, influence, and visibility at a moment when power and cultural relevance are being redefined across motorsport.
