Formula 1 drivers live out of carry-ons and carbon fiber, bouncing from one time zone to the next with little room for routine. Home, for many of them, becomes a flexible idea rather than a fixed address. Still, the drivers who spend serious time in the sport tend to build places around the world where life slows down just enough to feel normal again. These homes aren’t about excess as much as balance, offering familiarity and comfort in a career defined by speed. For Pierre Gasly, that work-life balance now includes a sunlit corner of Miami, far away from pit lanes and podiums.
The French Formula 1 driver recently signed on at Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, sitting right between the Miami Design District and Midtown. Gasly’s sky home spans 3,712 square feet with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, and it’s easy to see why the space works for someone who spends half the year on the road. A private elevator opens directly into the residence, while a 1,163-square-foot terrace stretches toward Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami.
The building itself was designed by Arquitectonica, with interiors by Yabu Pushelberg, and it feels calmer than flashy. Natural materials, soft textures, and layers of greenery style the interiors, drawing inspiration from Miami’s tropical environment. The 49-story tower will include 338 residences, ground-level retail, and a selection of shared spaces designed for everyday luxury living.
Food, unsurprisingly, plays a central role. Jean-Georges’ culinary influence shines throughout the residence, from casual grab-and-go spots to more intimate dining spaces, all tied together by a relaxed, residential approach. Downstairs, the abc kitchens will serve the ground floor, while upstairs, pools, lounges, and quiet corners offer places to unwind. With Wynwood, the Design District, and several bayfront parks just a short walk away, Gasly’s Miami home is a thoughtful base centered around it all. For a driver always chasing the next destination, that sense of ease might be the real luxury.
