Goodwood Festival of Speed hosts a big party to mark 75 years of F1 –

Given the marketing pressure that has gone into it, you would probably have to be living under a rock not to know that Formula One is currently celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. We are told that quite often, and the imminent premiere of the live-action film starring Brad Pitt is only part of this great effort. But we can also expect F1 to also take over one of the biggest motorsport festivals of the year, as Goodwood Festival of Speed will host a major F1 festival this year.

The event will see drivers from the current era and past bring a collection of F1 cars to the site’s famous hill climb, while a number of famous and iconic names will also appear.

As for who we are sure will attend, we are told that Alain Prost, Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mika Hakkinen, Nigel Mansell, Mario Andretti, Jacques Villeneuve, Gerhard Berger, Mark Webber, Jacky Ickx, Ricardo Patrese, John Watson, Johnny Herbert, Haas drivers Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon, Aston Martin designer Adrian Newey, F1 representative Ross Brawn, designer Gordon Murray, Karun Chandok, Derek Bell, Emanuelle Pirro, Jamie Chadwick, David Brabham and Arturo Merzario.

As for the cars appearing, we can look forward to the Williams FW14B, McLaren MP4/4, Lotus 79, Haas VF-25 and Haas VF-16.

Goodwood takes place between July 10 and 13, and you can watch the proceedings live on the Goodwood YouTube channel.
