Chef Nic Wood shared his excitement surrounding the Formula 1 inspired menu, saying, “Formula 1 racing has always been a passion of mine, and I wanted to bring that same excitement and energy to Deli QT. Each sandwich is crafted with care, using the freshest ingredients and flavours that I love, creating a winning combination for our guests.”

In collaboration with St Hugo, Australian Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo, and his signature creation, Ric Red by St Hugo, take the spotlight. Drawing inspiration from moments of joy, this unique blend, curated by Ricciardo, promises a burst of flavor for guests to savor.

Chief Winemaker at St Hugo, Peter Munro adds, “We bucked convention with Ric Red to deliberately create a unique blend that has captured Daniel’s personality in our St Hugo wine that everyone knows and loves and can’t wait for F1 fans to savour the drop.”
