Here’s all the information you’ll need to know about how to catch all the action from Silverstone Circuit
The 2024 Formula One season takes its European swing back to one of the sport’s most storied nations this weekend, as teams descend upon Northamptonshire for the latest edition of the British Grand Prix, with plenty of drama brewing in the pit lane.
Max Verstappen remains top of the World Drivers’ Championship by a comfortable margin and is on course for a fourth world title in as many seasons, but the Dutchman came under heavy fire following his performance at the Austrian Grand Prix.
The Red Bull racer collided with McLaren’s Lando Norris, his nearest and unexpected rival for the title this term, ending the latter’s race and robbing himself of a podium finish in the process, allowing Mercedes man George Russell to take just his second career win.
How the incident affects Verstappen – across a turbulent campaign for Red Bull that sees their World Constructors’ Championship defense less of a foregone conclusion than many may have expected – remains to be seen.
But he will hope he can get back to his best at the home race of both Norris and Russell, as well as Lewis Hamilton, who continues to chase an elusive final win with Mercedes before he makes the move to Ferrari next term in pursuit of that eighth world title.
