Previous race

The Austrian Grand Prix was the scene of Mercedes' first defeat. The winner was Max Verstappen, followed by Charles Leclerc and Valtteri Bottas. There was no shortage of controversy as, on the last lap, there was contact that precluded Ferrari's victory. In fact, in the overtaking maneuver, Max Verstappen forced Charles Leclerc to go off the track. The FIA, after having examined the incident and also summoned those directly involved, decided not to penalize the Dutchman.

Back to the race, Sebastian Vettel got the better of Lewis Hamilton for fourth place. Sixth time for a brilliant Lando Norris on McLaren, who preceded a disappointing Pierre Gasly and Carlos Sainz. Positive note for our colors with both the Alfa Romeos of Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi closing the top 10.

Circuit

Name: Silverstone International Circuit

Place: Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England, UK

Construction: like most circuits in Great Britain, Silverstone was born from the union of three runways of a military airport. At the end of the Second World War, due to the deterioration into which the legendary Donington and Brookland tracks had fallen, the Northamptonshire track was adopted by the Royal Automobile Club as the venue for the 1948 British Grand Prix. When it was born in 1950 the modern one formula 1, the English track hosted the first ever race, later won by Farina. In the immediate following years it underwent several changes, and for a few years it did not host the World Championship race, only to return in the 60s alternating with Brands Hatch. In 1971 the British Racing Drivers' Club bought the entire land of the track and modernized the track facilities. Over the years the track has undergone many changes, and from the original triangular shape it has changed to having different curves, while still maintaining the layout of a very fast and treacherous circuit. The last change dates back to 2010, when the section following the Abbey curve was redesigned and the starting straight was moved after the Club curve.

Distance per lap: 5,891km

Number of curves: 18, ten on the right, eight on the left

Direction of travel: clockwise

Technical data:

Special features of the route: Silverstone is a circuit with medium aerodynamic load, which alternates very fast and driven sections. Last year the riders were against the new asphalting and for this very reason, the track was resurfaced again; the works were completed at the end of June.

DRS zone: between Turn 5 (Aintree) and Turn 6 (Brookland), with detection point before Turn 3 (Village), and between Turn 14 (Chapel) and Turn 15 (Stowe), with detection point before Turn 11.

Brakes:

Rubber: For the Silverstone Grand Prix, Pirelli chose these 3 compounds: C1 (hard), C2 (medium) and C3 (soft), i.e. the hardest as the track requires a lot of effort from the tyres.
