British motorsport legend and 1996 Formula 1 World Champion Damon Hill visited ExCeL London today (20 August) to preview the Formula 1 Exhibition ahead of its official UK debut on 23 August.
The event will take place at Immerse LDN, ExCeL’s new immersive entertainment district located on the Royal Dock venue’s new-look waterfront.
Having already toured Madrid, Vienna, and Toronto, the London exhibition promises to be the biggest yet. Featuring contributions from leading F1 teams and drivers, the exhibition spans six purpose-built rooms filled with race cars, memorabilia and interactive experiences.
The event showcases seven iconic Championship-winning cars, including Lewis Hamilton’s record-breaking 2018 Mercedes AMG, Max Verstappen’s 2021 Red Bull and Ayrton Senna’s 1988 McLaren MP4/4.
Timothy Harvey, lead curator and producer of The Formula 1 Exhibition said: “With seven of the sport’s greatest race cars, new artefacts, displays and interactive experiences, the London show promises to be our best yet. We hope the story of Formula 1 continues to inspire new audiences and remain hugely grateful to all the drivers, F1 teams and private collectors who continue to support the project.”
