Big fan of this track, plenty of high speed corners which really show off how epic Formula 1 cars are.
Over on c/simracing we are doing a hot lap challenge here, join us!
What’s your favourite Silverstone moment?
I know Silverstone doesn’t always produce the best racing (unless Lewis and Max are shadow realming each other) but I always think Silverstone is one of the marquee races of the season.
Looking forward to seeing the Merc upgrades, and seeing if Lando can get any more out of that new papaya.
I hope Aston turn up - Canada and Austria have been worryingly quiet for them…
Any word on if/when Piastri might get the upgrades?
I’m fairly sure that they are due to be on his car this weekend.
So my wife and I do this thing where we try to have a meal or a beverage that’s emblematic of the country they’re racing in on the week of the race. This week we’ll be going to a good authentic-ish English pub. They serve Welsh rarebit which I enjoy. And they meet my criteria for a good English pub, which is that the floor is carpeted.

I think this was the race that turned me off the original sprint format. Its a classic British GP but the track has always felt super long to me. Expecting Aston to fly and Ferrari to be flat based off absolutely no data.
Hoping to see some good action. I’m always getting a bit lost watching the race on Silverstone. I feel like all the camera shots of the corners look the same.
Play a sim and do a few laps. Helps me immensely.
I really enjoyed Norris on Beyond the Grid, talking about the Silverstone as well: https://youtu.be/HTEq5BXr1Ig

Thank you! Ive subscribed
I’m new to watching F1, but very familiar with Silverstone via Gran Turismo. And I just can’t get excited about this track. It’s so flat, so long, and so boring every time I have to drive it. Despite the length, there doesn’t seem to be any real places for passing.
