F1 Exhibition is a project bringing racing fans closer to the historic and technical side of the sport in a way they cannot get anywhere else. It provides a thrilling experience divided into seven different rooms, featuring unique artefacts, motorsport memorabilia, and authentic pictures and footage. To offer this adventure to as many fans as possible, the exhibition periodically moves across the world.
Madrid held the inaugural stop of the F1 Exhibition before it moved to Vienna, followed by Toronto, and finally reached the current location in London. It will stay open until March 2nd for six days a week. Then the entire spectacle will be packed up and moved to Argentina, opening on February 22nd in the heart of the country in Buenos Aires. The fan following there is traditionally enormous – as demonstrated by the loud support Franco Colapinto received from the fans across the whole South America.
During your visit, you will see different rooms linked together by the central theme of the sport. The first room introduces you to the history of Formula 1, with a stark contrast between old and new machinery just meters away from each other. The headphones provided at the entrance offer a different level of engagement for all fans, allowing them to hear the sounds of engines roaring or original interviews accompanying the exhibits.
In the next sections, you can explore the journey of a driver from karting to F1, the development of safety measures, legendary drivers with their rivals, iconic helmets, and even tragic ends. Technology enthusiasts can look forward to various components, crash tests footage, or the full range of Pirelli tyres. If you are a newer fan, you will appreciate Max Verstappen’s RB16B in all its matte glory, still fresh from his first triumph in Abu Dhabi 2021. You can pretend to be an engineer on the pit wall, look up your favourite driver’s stats on the goat simulator, or try the force required to step on the brake pedal in an F1 car.
If that isn’t enough to get you hooked, one of the most breathtaking exhibits is the wreckage of Romain Grosjean’s car from the infamous Bahrain Grand Prix 2020 accident, where he miraculously escaped a fiery inferno.
