The British Grand Prix was the first of a seven-race calendar, going onto become one of just two – along with Italy – to have held a GP in every year since.

To celebrate the event, the FIA and F1 owners Liberty Media will demo a host of classic cars from the sport before each session.

These automobiles will include every single car that has won a championship along with their driver if possible.

There are also reports that Mick Schumacher will drive Ferrari’s F2004, which has been labelled the best car his father and record seven-time championship winner, Michael, ever drove.
