When Nina Dobrev first stepped foot at a Formula One event more than ten years ago, she did so as a curious onlooker, with little idea that she’d one day become a passionate follower of the sport. Like many recent fans, her deeper dive into the F1 universe came via Netflix’s hit docuseries Drive to Survive. The high-stakes drama, behind-the-scenes rivalries, and sheer talent on the grid captivated her instantly—and she hasn’t looked back since.
Fast-forward to 2025, and Dobrev is now a full-fledged F1 enthusiast, no longer just watching from the sidelines. Over the weekend, she brought her signature effortless style and enthusiasm to the Miami Grand Prix, attending as a guest of Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0%, a proud sponsor of Scuderia Ferrari HP. It was more than a brand appearance—it was a celebration of her genuine love for the sport and support for one of its most storied teams.
Dobrev’s connection to F1 runs even deeper thanks to her friendship with Lewis Hamilton, the legendary seven-time World Champion who now races for Ferrari. Their camaraderie is well-documented, and her support for him and the Ferrari team has only strengthened her ties to the motorsport world.
Whether it’s the roar of the engines or the precision of pit stops, Dobrev is fully invested. Her presence at Miami not only highlights F1’s growing popularity among a broader, younger audience but also illustrates how pop culture and high-octane sports are becoming increasingly intertwined.
