The 2022 British Grand Prix

England, the birthplace of Formula One, as many call it. After all, the first Grand Prix was held here, although that was over 70 years ago. Today, Silverstone is still the Grand Prix of the season that many teams are looking forward to. It is also a special circuit for most drivers, as the track demands a lot.

Fast rules, technical sections of corners and, above all, a lot of speed. In the first sector, today's cars have so much grip that the average speed has only increased in recent years. In addition, the hairpin offers additional overtaking opportunities.

In recent seasons, Silverstone has always caused problems with the tyres. In 2020, Lewis Hamilton managed to cross the finish line with a flat tyre, while Carlos Sainz and Valtteri Bottas also had tyre problems towards the end of the race. In 2021, Pirelli came up with a firmer rubber, mainly due to the retirements of Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen in Baku that same year.

What does the British Grand Prix race weekend look like?

The first press conferences are scheduled for Friday morning. Later in the day, the drivers will take place in their cars to run the free practice sessions. FP1 is scheduled for July 1 at 1pm [UK time], two hours after which the second practice session will be held. Qualifying starts on Saturday, July 2 at 3pm, followed by the race on Sunday, July 3.

What time does the British Grand Prix start?
