This is all about giving our fans the opportunity to get closer to the teams, cars and drivers they love.”

Exciting! Maybe it’s also a test for ways they could hold a London GP when Silverstone stops…. Love seeing that many F1 stars in one place! Eddie, DC, Jennie, Jake, Martin – can’t wait! I’ll be watching!
