Hamilton at Goodwood

All four F1 Brits to star at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Lewis will be at Goodwood

New British Formula One star Lewis Hamilton has now confirmed his attendance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Festival will be the first opportunity for British motor sport fans to see Lewis in action in an F1 car on UK soil, as he screams up the 1.16-mile Goodwood hillclimb in an F1 McLaren on Sunday 24 June.

All four British F1 drivers from this season are confirmed to be attending and driving at the Festival of Speed - being held in Goodwood Park from 22-24 June 2007 - two weeks prior to them all being seen in action at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Hamilton will be joining fellow Brits Jenson Button, David Coulthard and new F1 recruit Anthony Davidson at the Festival, with all four due to tackle the celebrated Goodwood Hill. While the first three drivers will be pedalling modern machinery, Davidson will be getting to grips with raw turbo power as he punts the ex-Nigel Mansell/Nelson Piquet 1987 championship-winning Williams-Honda FW11B up the hill.

The full contemporary F1 line-up is:

Ferrari- the legendary F1 team will be here from Italy to help celebrate the marque's 60th anniversary
Honda- the latest RA107 car will be in action all weekend, and it is confirmed that Christan Klien will drive on Friday and Saturday, with local hero Jenson Button driving on Sunday
McLaren-Mercedes- last season's car is expected to be in action on Saturday and Sunday, with Lewis Hamilton driving on Sunday
Red Bull - the Renault-powered car will smoke its tyres all weekend
Spyker- the newest addition to the F1 grid is expected to make its debut appearance at the Festival, with both its F1 car and Le Mans challenger
Toyota- the latest car will be in action all weekend as part of Toyota's celebration of a half-century in motor sport. It is now confirmed that Ralf Schumacher will be on hand to drive on Saturday
Williams-Toyota- the great British team will demonstrate its latest V8 car on Saturday and Sunday
