The 2006 British Grand Prix Preview

Tom Keeble previews the eighth round of the season and rates the teams' chances of success at the British Grand Prix

The British Grand Prix at Silverstone in Northampton is home to more than half of the teams, all of whom will have a lot to prove in front of their sponsors and home crowd. The earlier date promises cooler, potentially wetter weather, whilst the V8 formula should offer more interesting racing.

Analysis

Despite most of the teams getting in plenty of testing at Silverstone this year, the new V8 formula on this fast circuit should mean that there is opportunity for the drivers to make some difference in the fastest corners - so they are not all expected to line up alongside their teammates.
