No sport has had a rebrand quite like Formula One. Once a relatively niche sport for dads that refuse to sit down when they watch television, it’s now a global sport proper. Everyone seems to be getting involved. Factor in a summer blockbuster starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris (the very clearly named F1, just in case you’d been living under a rock), and the art of driving really, really fast has never been so popular.
Competition season hits almost every corner of the globe, too. Miami has a Grand Prix. Abu Dhabi and Vegas, too. But for all the air miles, it’s Silverstone that is still the GOAT when it comes to style. And yes, F1 has been plugging into the menswear world too.
From the best to ever do it Lewis Hamilton to on-track moments from the days of yore, here’s all the proof you need that underpins Silverstone as the sport’s best-dressed track.
