Silverstone (Silverstone) track, the world's first F1 race is held here, and it is the racing holy land in the hearts of all car fans and drivers.
WWII , it was once a British air force base, some tracks and even part of the original airport runway. Although the British station has changed the venue in history, since 1950, the British Grand Prix has never missed any F1 season. We're back here again this weekend.
In addition, starting this week we will return to Europe and start two consecutive rounds of back-to-back competitions. It can be predicted that this July will not only be hot, but will also be hot.
Ferrari It's time to hit back
For Ferrari fans, it hasn't been too easy in recent times. Because of reliability and strategy issues, Leclerc lost several possible victories.
But in the next period of time, Leclerc's situation is much better. He now has two newer power units that can be pushed harder in subsequent games. His teammate Sainz also replaced a new tail wing on this site.
At the same time, this is also a track that Leclerc performed well in the past. When Ferrari was not competitive enough in the 2021 season, he still won the runner-up in Silverstone. Based on the above, perhaps Ferrari will become a dark horse on this site?
Mercedes occupies a good location with people and
Mercedes has prepared a "upgrade package" for the British Grand Prix, plus a smooth pavement that helps reduce bounce problems and a track layout that suits them. Everyone is willing to believe that this may be a good weekend for them.
If a home driver can make fans cheer, then two home drivers can double the atmosphere. The latest two British drivers teamed up to 2012 and they must be eager to give home fans a reason to cheer.
Unpredictable weather
According to this week's weather forecast, it is cloudy at first on Friday, and there may be several showers in the afternoon, with a 40% chance of precipitation.
There may be a short rain belt passing by on Saturday afternoon, mainly dry weather, with a 40% chance of precipitation, but the results of several simulations still differ. Sunday is clear and there are few clouds, there are low chances of showers, and the probability of precipitation is 20%.
Therefore, the arrival of rain may disrupt the entire weekend of each team, and the weather on Saturday will inevitably have a great impact on the qualifying results.
Historical record
drivers, Hamilton is the driver with the most winning and winning times in the British Grand Prix. He has won 7 shots and 8 championships at home.
Although Silverstone seems to be dominated by Mercedes team since the hybrid era, judging from the team historical data, Ferrari is still the most successful team here. They have won a total of 15 pole positions and 17 championships, all leading the other teams.
