This year's Bahrain Grand Prix will celebrate Ferrari's 60th anniversary as a Formula One and sportscar constructor with a display of cars from the marque's history in the circuit's F1 Village.

The Sakhir circuit's CEO Martin Whitaker said: "There are very few motor manufacturers with the panache and heritage of Ferrari.

"Scuderia Ferrari is one of the biggest sporting brands in the world, with 60 years of achievement in Formula One and sportscar racing, and we are delighted to have this feast of iconic cars on display at our Grand Prix."

The display will feature a wide variety of examples from Ferrari's history, including a 1959 version of the 246 Dino in which Mike Hawthorn won the 1958 world championship, the 1967 Ferrari 312 which introduced safety improvements such as the full safety harness, resealable fuel cells, and automatic fire extinguisher, a 1957 250 Testa Rossa, and the more modern F40, F50, and Enzo road cars.
