The fast, almost flat Silverstone Circuit is ready for another exciting British Grand Prix. 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli arrives leading the drivers’ standings by 40 points over Mercedes team-mate George Russell, who bounced back to win in Austria and will now be hoping to claim his first home Grand Prix victory.
