The now retired champion will drive his Mercedes F1 W05 Hybrid car, while Russian Grand Prix winner Valtteri Bottas will also take the wheel during the festival, which runs from June 29 to July 2.

The sell-out Festival is the only event, other than the British Grand Prix, where British fans can see so many F1 cars in action in once place, with an unrivalled level of access to both cars and drivers.
