Next, we come to the home grand prix of seven time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, two time race winner George Russell, and one time race winner Lando Norris.
We expect for fire to be in Norris after the unfortunate end, merely seven laps before the chequered flag, at the Austrian Grand Prix. Furthermore, Russell will still be on a high from his victory.
Will the British trio be able to sneak ahead of Max Verstappen? We are yet to see…

History of Silverstone and the British Grand Prix
The Silverstone Heritage Museum is located at Silverstone, showcasing the moments of history, from WW2 based as an airfield, to this date as a Formula One and MotoGP racetrack.
