GP Great Britain
The British Grand Prix has always held a special significance with many of the Formula One drivers. The majority of a lap at Silverstone is very fast so cars require good fast corner stability and the tyres need good heat and wear resistance. Silverstone is a great circuit, one of the few remaining tracks that really challenge a driver. It has quite a varied layout but really is dominated by the fast corners.
The circuit has length of 5.091 km in 52 laps.
