Legendary F1 team to make Silverstone return
A legendary F1 team will make a comeback for a unique event at Silverstone later this month, showcasing all cars raced by the 34 F1 champions.
The classic motorsport weekend, now called the 2025 Silverstone Festival, is set for August 22-24, coinciding with the sport’s 75th anniversary.
Team Lotus, known for its six drivers’ titles and seven constructors’ titles, will display four cars at the festival, including those driven by Jim Clark and Mario Andretti.
Event director Nick Wigley called the display “an ambitious challenge that no one has ever attempted before,” featuring a nearly complete collection of championship-winning cars.
The festival will also highlight a large collection of Ayrton Senna’s race cars and include exhibits from Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Fernando Alonso.
A variety of F1 machinery spanning 75 years will be exhibited, culminating in the display of the first-ever championship-winning car, the Alfa Romeo 158 driven by Giuseppe ‘Nino’ Farina in 1950.
