Over the past five years, Amex x CARBONE BEACH has become a highly sought after dining experience during the Miami Grand Prix™ weekend, where world-class dining, show-stopping entertainment, and the city's vibrant nightlife collide. Each evening begins with an elegant oceanfront cocktail hour¹, setting the stage for a meticulously curated multi-course dinner by Chef Mario Carbone featuring CARBONE's signature specialties.

"As we begin our first year as the Official Payments Partner of FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX, we're proud to deepen our presence in a city and at an event that means so much to our Card Members," said Bess Spaeth, Executive Vice President of Global Brand Management & Experiences at American Express.
