Alex Albon believes "every driver loves Silverstone"
Toro Rosso are looking forward to the British Grand Prix and both drivers Daniil Kvyat and Alex Albon believe that the circuit will suit them and their car. They will hope that their car suits the track and that they can pick up some points and battle in the midfield.
“Like most drivers, I like Silverstone quite a lot," Kvyat was quoted by GrandPrix247. "It’s a classic circuit and a cool track where you can really enjoy driving a Formula 1 car to its maximum.
“I like classic races like the British GP, there’s always a very big crowd which makes for a great atmosphere. Silverstone is also where I first tested a Formula 1 car – a Toro Rosso – back in 2013. It was one of the most special days of my life!”
His Toro Rosso teammate is also looking forward to this weekends race but it will be the first time he has driven a Formula 1 car around the track.
“It’s a special race and the British fans are crazy about motorsport," Albon said. "I think every driver loves Silverstone because even if I’ve not actually driven there in an F1 car yet, I’m sure it’s the sort of track where these fantastic cars really come to life, making use of all that downforce through the high-speed stuff.”
It seems that many drivers and teams enjoy Silverstone and the British Grand Prix and this adds to the need for Formula 1 to continue racing there.
