The Formula 1 champion, Sebastian Vettel, and motorsport journalist Tom Clarkson will join together to participate in the London Marathon on April 26, 2026. The aim is to raise funds for two charitable organizations: the Grand Prix Trust and the Brain & Spine Foundation.
Vettel, who retired from F1 at the end of the 2022 season, will run alongside Clarkson and their children, thus demonstrating a commitment to the sporting community and important causes.
The Brain & Spine Foundation, founded in 1992 by Professor Sidney Watkins and neurosurgeon Peter Hamlyn, works to improve the prevention and treatment of diseases related to the brain and spine. On the other hand, the Grand Prix Trust was established to assist those who, after their career in F1, need support.
Mr. Martin Brundle, a former driver and current analyst for Sky Sports F1, took over the presidency of the Grand Prix Trust in 2016, with the aim of helping professionals who have fallen into hardship due to health or financial issues.
This charitable commitment serves as a reminder of the importance of caring for those who have contributed to the sport over the years, and the marathon will provide a perfect platform to raise awareness for these causes.
