Andrew Denford, founder and chairman of F1 in Schools, said: “I’m blown away.

“We’ve seen the UK record beaten by nine teams, a tight race on and off the track for podium places with talented UK Champions crowned at our biggest UK event with over 250 students, held at one of the largest manufacturing facilities in the world building the wings for the Airbus.”

The UK Champions win a trip to the headquarters of an F1 team and the podium teams win a trip to the Formula 1 Rolex British Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone.
