After a hectic Austrian Grand Prix, the drivers have little rest. This Sunday, the next race is already scheduled, and it is a classic: the British Grand Prix. The British consider themselves the founding fathers of Formula 1, and the Silverstone circuit is undoubtedly going to host around 150,000 spectators per day again. The home fans are certainly hoping for a British victory. But will Max Verstappen be beaten?

Verstappen and his Red Bull Racing are also the big favourites at Silverstone. However, Mercedes - with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell as home drivers - will be hoping that the tide will finally turn in England. Hamilton has not won a race for a season and a half, the seven-time world champion would love to be the best again in front of his own crowd. Then there is Lando Norris, who with his McLaren, also wants to shine in his home race. The youngster hopes the McLaren will be as competitive as it was in Spielberg.

When will the drivers be in action?

In Austria, there was a Sprint Shootout and a Sprint. As a result, Friday and Saturday were different from normal. At Silverstone, it is as usual: three free practice sessions, a qualifying session and a Grand Prix. This race starts at 3pm local time, where Verstappen will aim for his 43rd win on Sunday.
