The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and Renault F1 teams will be in action. The day’s fun-filled activities will include a fan zone featuring interactive activations, such as the “DHL e-sports Challenge” and the “Pirelli Pit-Stop Challenge”, with spectacular car displays including supercars, SA Karting, F1600 and historic single-seaters.

SA's Brad Binder was ninth fastest in a preseason MotoGP test, just 0.4 secs off the pace. Picture: REUTERS Alex Marquez, who narrowly beat Binder to 2019’s Moto2 championship, was 21st fastest on his Repsol Honda. Formula One’s governing body has moved to ban for 2021 an ingenious new Mercedes steering wheel that has been the talk of preseason testing and could boost Lewis Hamilton’s chances of a record-equalling seventh title.

That observation suggested the rule change had been triggered by awareness on the governing body’s part that the sport’s dominant team had found a potentially game-changing loophole in the rules.
