By ,

The Formula One road show will be stopping in Jerusalem this June, the Associated Press confirmed.

Jerusalem residents will be treated to a spot of F1 on June 13-14, when the "Jerusalem Peace Road Show" takes place.

Former grand prix driver Giancarlo Fisichella and bikers Max Biaggi and Chris Pfeiffer will be on hand for the display, in front of a crowd of 100,000 spectators, the AP report says.

City mayor Nir Barkat has labelled the event as apolitical, in the hope F1 brings Israelis and Palestinians together.
