This weekend’s British Grand Prix marks the halfway point of this season’s 24-race Formula 1 calendar. This weekend’s British Grand Prix marks the halfway point of this season’s 24-race Formula 1 calendar. About five drivers have won the first eleven rounds, making the championship a lot more exciting so far this year. Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and George Russell all took one win, while Max Verstappen has shown his dominance with a whopping seven wins, putting him firmly at the top of the drivers’ standings. Now all eyes are on the hallowed ground of Silverstone. With three British drivers on the grid, two of whom have already won this season, the stage is set for a potential home hero triumph. Lewis Hamilton, the undisputed king of Silverstone with a record eight wins and seven pole positions, will be looking to end his winless streak dating back to the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, while Norris will be looking for redemption after his Austrian battle with Verstappen left him empty-handed. Can Norris turn the tide on home soil? Will Verstappen take his second British GP win in a row? Or could we witness another surprise contender from the pack?
