F1 rocks up in London for last minute pre-Silverstone roadshow

It’s not a sight you see very often, but on the Wednesday before the British Grand Prix, nineteen drivers turned up for an event in London, with several cars participating in a street demo around the iconic Trafalgar Square. There was a stage, where musical performances took place, interviews with drivers occurred, and Valtteri Bottas sprayed the crowd with champagne.

Almost all of the drivers were on hand to drive their cars, walk through the streets and shake hands with the crowd, or appear on stage. Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button also made an appearance. It was live-streamed online and on TV, and, whilst not perfect, it generally did a great job to get everyone excited for the weekend ahead.

Lewis Hamilton was the missing driver from the line-up, preferring to take a break from what he calls an intense season so far, but championship rival Sebastian Vettel said it was “really, really special… It’s great fun going so close to the people and you can see them cheering and waving.”

Ex-Renault chief Frederic Vasseur joins Sauber as team principal

Sauber have only been parted from ex-team principal Monisha Kaltenborn a few short weeks, but they have now found a replacement in the form of Frederic Vasseur, who was previously with the Renault team. Vasseur spent one season with Renault, but has plenty of experience in other racing categories.

He begins his duties at Sauber just after the British Grand Prix weekend, and is excited about the opportunity, saying: “I’ve been impressed by the facilities in Hinwil and by the talent and ambition of the workforce, and I very much look forward to complementing the team with my experience and determination… I am convinced that all together we will achieve ambitious targets.”

Sauber split with Monisha due to “diverging views of the future of the company” so have presumably found in Vasseur a like-minded soul. There is still speculation over whether their engine supply deal with Honda will go ahead, but in the meantime, they are shoring up their squad for the rest of the season.
