F1 heads to the Goodwood Festival of Speed
Friday 3rd July 2009
No fewer than six of the F1 teams will take part in this weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed, which kicks off on Friday.
Ferrari, McLaren, Brawn GP, Williams, Toyota and Red Bull are all expected to attend the annual motorsport celebration, which this year will include a tribute to Williams team boss Sir Frank Williams.
Throughout the weekend a number of Williams Grand Prix cars and former drivers, including Damon Hill, Alan Jones, David Coulthard and Jacques Laffite, will be present, culminating in tribute to Sir Frank in the Goodwood F1 Paddock Assembly Area on Sunday.
"It will be great for me, and for all of the people that have been a part of Williams, or supported the team over the years, to be there to see a broad selection of our cars, past and present," said Sir Frank.
Meanwhile, F1 hopeful Bruno Senna will also be making an appearance as he puts his late uncle Ayrton Senna's legendary McLaren Honda MP4/4 through its paces.
"Driving this hugely powerful turbo engined 'monster' will be a great experience for me on one of my weekends off from my Le Mans Series programme," said Senna.
"It is hugely motivating to drive such an historic car and especially to be trusted by the same people that ran Ayrton to all those victories back in the 80's.
"An F1 car from this era is not too similar to a current F1 car, and Goodwood is not exactly a Grand Prix venue either, but I am sure this fun weekend will only serve to wet my appetite again for F1."

"Chances are all of you who are going to Goodwood this weekend wont see this message. But to those of you who will have a great weekend I envy you all enjoy."

"graham669- believe me, however far it is, Goodwood is worth the journey. It's the only place where you can get really close to the F1 teams, cars, and drivers. In the past I've literally bumped into Damon Hill and Jackie Stewart. It's a superbly organised event and I'd urge every Formula 1 and motorsport fan to try and get to it at least once. There's nothing quite like it."
