The 2007 British GP Preview
After a controversial week filled with espionage stories, Formula One is back in action for the British Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton will be looking to delight his home crowd with another victory. Tom Keeble analyses the prospects ahead of the ninth race of the season
After the Ferrari resurgence in France, the circus moves to Silverstone, a wind-swept ex-airfield in the heartland of England. Home for most of the teams - including championship-leading McLaren - this should not be a simple walkover.
Analysis
Silverstone is a technical track, which emphasises the importance of getting the car set up well. The opening sequence of corners in particular are very quick, emphasising good downforce and aerodynamic balance, whilst the straights require aero efficiency or a powerful engine to compensate. The tight complex at the end requires good mechanical balance and rewards traction.
