Norris and Ricciardo to showcase Senna's cars at FOS

Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo will revive the legend of Ayrton Senna at this summer's Goodwood Festival of Speed where the pair will run up the hill onboard several of the great Brazilian's McLaren cars.

The Woking-based outfit will roll out Senna's 1988 McLaren MP4/4 and the three-time world champion's 1990 MP4/5 and 1991 MP4/6 over the FOS weekend that will unfold from July 8th to 11th.

McLaren's MP4/4, that was raced during the 1988 season by Senna and teammate Alain Prost, is one of F1's most statistically successful cars in the sport's history, winning 15 out of 16 races during the team's banner year.

Athough Norris and Ricciardo will feature prominently at the Festival, this year's theme will celebrate 70 years of BRM, with a spectacular array of cars from the legendary British manufacturer set to roar up the hill.

Festival of Speed tickets are still on sale but limited, so if you haven’t already booked your tickets make sure you do soon!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
