The Silverstone circuit is on the site of a Royal Air Force bomber station, RAF Silverstone, which was operational between 1943 and 1946. It is a 5.891 km long circuit comprising a total of 18 turns. The arena can support a capacity of 1,50,000, making it a spectacle in the F1 calendar.

British GP 2022 Predictions
An intense Verstappen – Leclerc duel is on the cards at Silverstone. The Ferrari driver has to step up and push for a win if he has to cover the gap at the top of the drivers’ championship. The ever-consistent Sergio Perez and George Russell are certainly in contention for a podium finish along with Carlos Sainz.
All eyes will also certainly be on local favourite, Lewis Hamilton, who will be aiming for a record ninth British GP win.
P1 for Max Verstappen, P2 for Charles Leclerc and P3 for George Russell is our prediction for the race at Silverstone.
