Simon Rigg took home a Scuderia Ferrari F1 T-shirt, cap, umbrella, and water bottle after winning a competition at SPAR Bowness, part of the store’s Summer of Fun event marking its first anniversary.
The event featured Charles Leclerc’s 2021 Ferrari F1 car, displayed in the 2025 Scuderia Ferrari livery.

Mr Rigg said: “I am a huge motorsport fan, and I am thrilled to have won the merchandise.
“It was fantastic to see the Ferrari up close for free at SPAR Bowness over the summer as these opportunities are rare.
“A big thank you to SPAR and to Shell for putting the event on.”

While Mr Rigg admits to having a “soft spot for McLaren,” he remains a devoted Ferrari supporter and credits his parents for igniting his passion for motorsport.
He said: “My dad went to the first British Grand Prix held at Silverstone, and my parents used to go to the Monaco Grand Prix every year for many years.
“That started in 1968, the year I was born, so I have gone through life with F1 and motorsport as being a part of it.”
He said: “I have been to several Grands Prix myself over the years and you really cannot beat an F1 weekend – the speed, the noise, sensational driving, and often, in Britain at least, changeable weather that makes the racing that bit more exciting.”
