Located in the Formula 1 Pit Lane, the Mercedes fan hub will offer visitors the chance to immerse themselves in a real F1 pit lane and garage, where you\u2019ll be able to test yourself with the challenge of a pitstop on the W09 \u2014 the car in which Lewis Hamilton won 11 Grands Prix on his way to the 2018 World Championship \u2014 under the expert guidance of team mechanics past and present.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll be able to test your skills on driving simulators, while there\u2019s the chance to get crafty by making your own grid pass, and make the most of limited edition merchandise. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
Away from the stand, the W13, winner of the 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix, will be driven up the Hill by Mercedes\u2019 third driver Fred Vesti, who\u2019s no stranger to the 1.16-mile course. The W13 delivered George Russell his first F1 race win, and will be decked out in the 2026 livery for its runs up the Hill on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very excited to be attending this year\u2019s Goodwood Festival of Speed,\u201d said Vesti. \u201cIt will be my third time at the Festival; I can\u2019t wait to be in the car, taking on the hillclimb, and experiencing all that Goodwood has to offer. It\u2019s such a special event, and the Hill is like nothing else!\u201d<\/p>\n
