This week we look at what’s going on at Silverstone, as we count down to the British Grand Prix in a few weeks’ time, the UK’s largest ticketed event.

We look at how the grand prix is broadcast with Channel 4 TV presenter Lee Mackenzie. Lee gives her view on Lewis Hamilton’s struggles at Ferrari. And as a woman who has worked in the F1 industry for over 15 years, she gives her take on how the championship has managed to get to approximately 42% of its fanbase being female.

We also have the latest in our series of race promoter interviews. James Allen travels up to Silverstone to meet with CEO Stuart Pringle, who tells us how his team handle 480,000 fans over four days, how Silverstone is becoming more than just a race venue and we get into the thorny question of ticket pricing.

Don’t miss the chance to compete against our expert writers on Motorsport’s hugely popular F1 Fantasy League.
