Stat Attack: Great Britain

Michele Merlino investigates the records and compiles the stats ahead of the British Grand Prix

Great Britain personal scoreboard

Jenson Button will start his 180th race, reaching Ralf Schumacher at 14th on the all-time list. He has never led a lap or finished on the podium in his home race. He's also failed to qualify in the top 10 six times in 10 years.

Lewis Hamilton sacrificed his race strategy to take pole in his first British Grand Prix, eventually finishing third. In 2008, he won by more than a minute from Nick Heidfeld. Last year he could only finish 16th. Hamilton has also won at Silverstone in GP2 (twice) and in Formula Renault.
