Why Formula 1 fashion is everywhere
Formula 1 has become one of fashion's biggest influences, with celebrities, influencers and drivers helping turn race weekends into style events.
M&S is tapping into that trend through its partnership with the Atlassian Williams Racing team and by bringing its summer collection to one of the UK's biggest sporting events.
