The theft of a steering wheel from a classic Formula 1 car over the British Grand Prix weekend has sparked a search for a man the police wish to speak to in their enquiries.

The incident occurred on Friday at Silverstone, with the car on display as part of a tribute to former Jordan founder Eddie Jordan, who passed away in March.

A statement from Northamptonshire Police read: "Northamptonshire Police has released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to following the theft of a steering wheel from a classic Formula 1 car.

"The incident happened at about 2.30 pm on Friday, July 4, when the steering wheel was removed from a vehicle that was on display at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone in south Northamptonshire.

"The man in the image could assist police with their enquiries, so he, or anyone who recognises him, is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101.

"Please quote incident number 25000390674 when providing any information to make sure it gets to the right person as quickly as possible."

RacingNews365 has contacted Northants Police for an update.
