It's not only the home of most F1 teams, but Silverstone also hosted the very first sanctioned F1 race back in 1950. As a result, it's always been on my F1 bucket list, and this year I finally made the pilgrimage north of London to see what the fuss is all about. I'll be writing a blog post about my experience soon, but in the meantime, here's what the F1 drivers' *car park*—as they say here—looked like over the weekend. From a multi-million-dollar [McLaren]() Speedtail and a vintage [Jaguar]() E-Type driven by reigning world champion Lando Norris, to the Ford Ranger of Isack Hadjar, there was a little bit of everything on display for the adoring British fans. ## Mercedes - Kimi Antonelli and George Russell Their rivalry may be heated on the track, but on the road, their rides are a cool blue. (Was that too cheesy?) ![]() **Jerry Perez** ## Cadillac - Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas Checo was rockin' the Lyriq at the team's second home, while Bottas chose to ride his bicycle to the track. I actually drove past him on a country road about 4 miles away from Silverstone on my way to the track this morning. Good lad. ![]() **Jerry Perez** ## Alpine - Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto The soon-to-be Gucci outfit pulled up to the track in identical Alpine A390 EVs. However, the bumper sticker on Gasly's definitely made me laugh. ![]() ![]() ## Ferrari - Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc Due Purosangue, per favore. ![]() ![]() ## VCARB - Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad Pretty funny to see a Ford Ranger and a Mustang Mach-E in such a distinguished parking lot. But hey, sponsorship commitments are important. ![]() ![]() ## Haas F1 - Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman By far my favorite lineup of the weekend: Ocon's GR Yaris and Bearman's Dino. They don't have to be expensive, they just have to be *choice*. Good job, guys. ![]() ![]() ## Red Bull - Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar A very unassuming Ford Explorer EV (Europe-only) and another Ranger Wildtrack for Hadjar. ![]() ![]() ## Aston Martin - Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll DBXs for two, please. And throw in a scooter. ![]() **Jerry Perez** ## Williams F1 - Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon Albon was in a super mainstream Volvo XC60. However, Sainz was whippin' around in a fancy Bentley Bentayga. ![]() **Jerry Perez** ## McLaren - Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri Lando made headlines with his beautiful E-Type Jag this weekend, but the massive McLaren Speedtail next to it stole the most photo snaps from passersby. I am unsure if the Speedtail was driven by Piastri or team boss Zac Brown. ![]() **Jerry Perez** Which one's your favorite? ## Author Jerry is responsible for upholding The Drive's ethos as an audience-first, enthusiast-driven car blog that serves up industry-leading news, reviews, culture, and motorsport coverage.
