The British Grand Prix is all set to return to the famous Silverstone Circuit, which is also featured in the recently released Lewis Hamilton co-production, F1. The race consists of 52 laps of the 5.891-kilometre circuit. This is the home race for Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton, and George Russell, which should be enough to hint at the fan support for these drivers at the circuit. Not to forget, Hamilton has won the race nine times in his F1 career.
