Preview – Formula 1 – British 🇬🇧Grand Prix – Friday 6th July- Sunday 8th July – Race 10 – Silverstone 🏁

It’s the end of a gruelling triple header for the F1 paddock this weekend as they move onto the familiar surroundings of Silverstone. The locale of most of the teams means that a lot of the staff and drivers will take a welcome break from the hotel and suitcase lifestyle and instead spend time at home with their families, bringing renewed energy to the pit lane, despite the long, tough three weeks they’ve had.
All the traits of the Silverstone circuit, coupled with the “Fan power” Hamilton speaks so fondly off, points to a dominant weekend for the Silver Arrows, however the season has been littered with tactical errors and poor reliability, their rivals will be hoping for more of the same.
Silverstone has many high speed corners which will put a lot of stress into the front tyres. This means a strong front end is absolutely critical, but will need to be balanced without sacrificing the straight line speed. On top of this, the UK is experiencing a heatwave, the track temperatures will be much higher than usual and so tyre preservation will be a big focus of the teams this week.
