After a dramatic weekend in Austria, Formula 1 heads to Silverstone for the 76th running of the British Grand Prix — one of the most iconic and historic races on the calendar, and one of only two to have appeared on the calendar every season since the inaugural World Championship in 1950.
It’s a home race for several teams and drivers, including George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, and young Ollie Bearman, with all four Britons aiming to deliver in front of a huge Silverstone crowd.
McLaren arrives in red-hot form after a dominant 1–2 finish in Austria, with Norris claiming his third win of the season and teammate Oscar Piastri finishing second. Piastri leads the Drivers’ Championship by 15 points, and the team will be hopeful of breaking its Silverstone win drought, which dates back to 2008.
Max Verstappen will be looking to bounce back after a retirement at the Red Bull Ring following contact with Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli. Mercedes, too, will be hoping to recover from a tough weekend in Austria. The team has been dominant in Britain since the turbo-hybrid era began in 2014, winning nine of the last 12 British Grands Prix — including last year with Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton, meanwhile, will be aiming for his first podium with Ferrari and is well placed to do so, having finished on the podium at his home race for 11 consecutive years and 14 times in his 18 British Grand Prix starts.
With iconic high-speed corners, unpredictable British weather, and a fiercely loyal home crowd, Silverstone is set to deliver another classic weekend of Formula 1.
