Formula 1 returns to the second race of its second ever double-header this weekend at Silverstone. The high-speed corners played havoc on the teams in the British Grand Prix as 4 drivers had tyre failures, leading to Kvyat's massive crash and the dramatic conclusion to the race, which saw Lewis Hamilton win on 3 tyres. Pirelli's decision making is going to be in the spotlight in the run up to the race as they are planning to bring softer tyres for this second weekend. With the punctures on the hardest of the tyres (the one compound which won't be returning) and with even hotter temperatures predicted, expect the tyres to be a major talking point all weekend and 2 or 3 stop strategies being utilised for the race. Nico Hulkenberg's return ended as a damp squib as he failed to start the British GP after replacing the positively tested Sergio Perez, how will he and the tyres fare as we do it all again at the 70TH ANNIVERSARY GRAND PRIX!
