Beyond the cars, the exhibition will present a selection of historical and symbolic objects, having belonged to all the greatest champions such as Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Max Verstappen and many others: helmets and suits, trophies, period documents (photographs, licences, correspondence), graphic elements and audiovisual devices from official archives.
These objects tell the story of drivers, engineers and teams and they replace cars in their sporting, technical and personal context.
