David Coulthard's Silverstone preview
Two-time Silverstone winner David Coulthard looks ahead to this weekend's British Grand Prix and predicts who will adapt to the new track best
Silverstone is a great challenge for a Formula 1 driver. From when you leave Luffield, the last corner, and until you arrive at Stowe you're never below 200km/h. It's a very high-speed opening to the lap, and it really sets your pulse racing.
I think we have a very high chance of seeing a British winner once again this weekend, with the current and former world champions in Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton at McLaren. The only thing that stands between them is the form of Red Bull and Fernando Alonso's Ferrari - I can only see those five drivers with a realistic chance of victory.
