Sir Stirling Moss and Lewis Hamilton attend Formula 1 event at Silverstone

Moss explains the W196 to Hamilton

Racing legend Sir Stirling Moss and MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver Lewis Hamilton accepted an invitation to visit Silverstone on Friday 31st May. The two British Grand Prix winners were accompanied by a MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One car and a stunning Mercedes-Benz W 196.

It is the very car that won Grands Prix in Germany and Switzerland at the hands of five-time World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio in 1954, and the same model raced by Sir Stirling Moss at the British Grand Prix in 1955 – his first ever F1 World Championship victory.
