Formula 1® celebrates 70th Anniversary in collaboration with Automobilist

July 30, 2020: Following the recently launched 70th anniversary design posters by Automobilist, produced in conjunction with Formula 1®, comes another design offer for followers and fans of the sport - a series of Collector’s and Limited edition posters. As Formula 1 marks the special 70th Anniversary celebrations at the EMIRATES FORMULA 1 70TH ANNIVERSARY GRAND PRIX 2020 on the weekend of 7-9 August 2020, the eight-piece collection celebrates the last seven decades of racing, each featuring a bespoke design honouring the periods’ most iconic car, plus an additional design looking to the future of the sport.

Over 70 years, victory in Formula 1 has been secured via the satisfaction of a single imperative – finding a competitive edge, and through obsessive development, ruthlessly exploiting engineering superiority in order to establish crushing dominance. 

Formula 1 has generally been a cyclical sport with one team at a time enjoying a period of dominance and if we go back just a few decades we can see the names McLaren, Williams, Ferrari and Red Bull all putting together a string of consecutive world titles. For the past six years, the team doing most of the winning has been Mercedes or Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team to give its full name.  

Scuderia Ferrari could have been the subject of the featured car in every single one of Automobilist’s series of commemorative posters for each decade of the Formula 1 World Championship, as the Italian outfit is the only team to have taken part in the series every year since 1950 to the present day.
