Formula 1 descends once again to the venue where it all started back in 1950. Silverstone has been the permanent home to the British Grand Prix (one of only two races to have appeared every F1 season, along with Italy) since 1987, and remains a fan favourite. Featuring some of the best corners on the calendar - Copse, Becketts, Stowe and Abbey to name a few - this is probably the first circuit on the calendar where we will truly see how impressive the new 2017 cars are. Expect windy conditions, changeable weather, a lot of fans and me in orange again as we reach the British Grand Prix.
