We’re at the end of this Formula 1 triple-header, with Silverstone being the final stop in this dramatic return to Europe.

Now it’s time to head to Great Britain: the Silverstone circuit, one of the most important in Formula 1 history, will once again host the renewed duel between the world champion and McLaren’s number 4, who will be racing at home.
The History of Silverstone Circuit
The Silverstone circuit, located in Northamptonshire, England, is one of the most iconic and historic tracks in the world of Formula 1. Originally an airfield during World War II, Silverstone hosted the first World Championship Grand Prix in 1950. The track is renowned for its fast and technical corners, such as the famous Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel sequence, which truly tests the drivers and their physical endurance. With a length of 5.891 km, the circuit is a mix of medium and high-speed corners, highly appreciated by drivers.
Silverstone is not only an excellent test for drivers but also an extraordinary event for fans. The circuit is known for its electrifying atmosphere, with hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts filling the stands every year.
