If you're a fan of A-list celebrities and high-octane excitement, get ready for a weekend to remember. The iconic nightlife brand 1OAK, a favorite haunt of stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Kendall Jenner, and more, is set to electrify Montreal this weekend with their presence at the Formula 1 Grand Prix. This isn't just any event—it's an unforgettable experience that combines the thrill of Formula 1 racing with the glitz and glamour of 1OAK’s legendary parties.
For three days, from Friday, June 7, through Sunday, June 9, 1OAK is taking over the renowned F1 Paddock Club™, offering guests an unparalleled VIP experience. It’s not just about watching the race; it's about immersing yourself in the world of Formula 1 from the most exclusive vantage point possible. Think of it as a front-row seat to the action, with a side of world-class hospitality and a dash of star power.
As we gear up for the race, one question lingers in everyone's mind: Can anyone challenge the dominance of Mercedes, the team that's been setting the pace in the 2019 season, with a perfect record of winning all six races so far? The suspense is building, and the stage is set for an epic showdown in Montreal.

The 1OAK F1 Paddock Club Suite is designed to be the ultimate VIP experience for Formula 1 enthusiasts. Not only do you get to watch the race from the best possible location, seated directly above the team paddocks, but you also get a taste of 1OAK's world-famous party scene. The excitement doesn't stop there. Following the races, 1OAK will keep the party going with a three-night pop-up event at the Ritz Carlton Montreal, powered by Marriott Bonvoy. It's a celebration that spans the track and the city, bringing together fans, celebrities, and dignitaries from around the globe.
To get a deeper understanding of what makes this event so special, we caught up with 1OAK founders Richie Akiva to learn more about the experience they're offering.
Q: What makes the Formula 1 experience unique compared to other sporting events?
A: There’s something truly magical about Formula 1 that sets it apart. The vantage point is unmatched—you're perched just above the teams’ paddocks, giving you an insider’s view of the action. Before the race even starts, you have exclusive access to the paddocks, where you can witness your favorite teams, drivers, and engineers preparing for the big moment. The attention to detail in the catering is top-notch, and there are multiple hospitality environments to enjoy while watching the race unfold. It’s an experience that engages all your senses.
Q: What can people expect if they want the full 1OAK experience?
A: When you choose the 1OAK experience, you're signing up for the works. From morning refreshments upon arrival to a daily assortment of cold-pressed juices and elixirs, gourmet dining, fine wines, and an unlimited open bar with champagne, we’ve got you covered. You’ll enjoy premium seating directly over the team paddocks, paddock and pit lane walks, and a front-row seat to the podium presentations. Plus, we’ve got special guest appearances lined up to keep the excitement going. This is more than just a race—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Q: Who can guests expect to see at the event?
A: While we love to keep surprises under wraps, let’s just say that the 1OAK experience wouldn’t be complete without a few familiar faces. Expect to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in entertainment, sports, and beyond. It’s all part of the magic that makes 1OAK events unforgettable.
Q: How close to the action will fans get inside the 1OAK suite?
A: Our suite offers guests unparalleled access to the drivers, their teams, and the best views of the race. It’s as close as you can get without owning a team. Whether you're watching the cars zip past or mingling with the stars, you’ll feel like you’re right in the thick of the action.

Q: What does 1OAK represent to you?
A: To me, 1OAK F1 is the epitome of a "one of a kind" experience. It’s where the storied history of Formula 1 racing meets the pinnacle of hospitality culture. We bring our world-renowned club culture and the energy of our global crowd to the Formula 1 paddock, creating an atmosphere that’s both exhilarating and sophisticated.
Q: What other sporting events has 1OAK taken over, and what were they like?
A: Over the years, we’ve hosted events in various sectors, primarily around fashion, music, film, and the creative industries. We’ve produced unforgettable experiences during NBA All-Star weekends and the Super Bowl. However, the access we have to the paddock and club at Formula 1 gives us a unique opportunity to blend the excitement of our international productions with the rich history and elegance of premier racing. It’s a perfect marriage of worlds.
Q: How do you create a pop-up nightlife experience at the Ritz-Carlton, and what resources are involved?
A: Creating a pop-up experience that rivals our permanent venues is no small feat, but our team rises to the occasion every time. We bring in our core design elements, courtesy of Roy Nachum and his team of artists, to transform the Ritz-Carlton into a 1OAK haven. We focus on fine finishes, world-class talent, and an atmosphere that feels anything but temporary. Our guests shouldn’t feel like they’re in a pop-up activation—they should feel like they’ve stepped into one of our year-round clubs.
Q: With the decor and ambiance, how does the 1OAK experience differ from being a regular race-goer?
A: The 1OAK F1 suite is a game-changer compared to the typical Paddock Club experience. Our guests will enjoy a sophisticated space equipped with cutting-edge sound and lighting systems, large screen HD TVs, and projections that bring the race to life in ways you’ve never experienced before. It’s a sensory feast that enhances every moment of the event.
The 1OAK F1 Paddock Club Suite, crafted by 1OAK founders Richie Akiva and Ronnie Madra alongside partners Frank Heidinger and Peter Klein, is available in two- and three-day packages, granting access to the exclusive nightlife events.
