Accompanying Hamilton will be cars from the past 100 years including a W 125, aW 165 Silver Arrows and a Grand Prix racing car from Mercedes’ famous 1914 win.
A 1957 300 SLS will also take to the track alongside a 1981 500 SL rally car; both are amongst the rarest cars on the Goodwood Hill this year.
Mercedes’ team boast a range of iconic drivers including Anthony Davidson, Johnny Herbert, Sir Stirling Moss, Roland Asch, Sir Jackie Stewart and Klaus Ludwig, amongst others.
