“Seeing the British fans and all the papaya as we drive round the track is always so motivating”
There’s nothing like the comfort of our home grand prix: fish and chips, endless cups of tea and the fact we can roll out of bed and onto the circuit – we may even keep our McLaren speedmark pyjamas on.
Okay, so maybe the 57 miles separating Woking from Silverstone means we can’t quite roll out of bed and onto the circuit, but at least we’ll be switching plane journeys for a short bus ride when we venture to our Northamptonshire-based home for the week.
So, what to do with all that extra time? Reading our preview would be a good start, as we’ve compiled a list of what to watch for at the British Grand Prix. You can then spend some time diving into all of the key stats and using our style tips for a wardrobe refresh.
Andreas SEIDL
“There is nothing better than a home race and the whole team is looking forward to seeing the papaya fans among the sell-out crowd.
Of course, as well as being a home race for the team, Silverstone also marks Lando’s home Grand Prix, which means we really feel the support from the grandstands. Plenty of our own team will also be at the race, seeing their hard work in action.
“It’s been good to spend some time away from track since Canada. Since then, we’ve reviewed the weekend, know where we need to improve, and we’re now putting our full focus on the weekend ahead of us.
“The track itself is a fast one. Some of its iconic features, such as Maggots and Becketts, are a challenge for any driver, so it will certainly be exciting for the fans. Logistically it’s a nicer one for the team as it’s a shorter journey to the circuit compared to usual – certainly a perk of a home race. Let’s keep going and keep pushing forward, see you soon, British fans.”
What the stats say
It would be fair to say that home comforts have played a role over the years, with 14 British Grand Prix wins in total, making us the second most prolific team at the event. All bar two of those have been at Silverstone, including three in a row between 1999 and 2001.
We’re one of just four teams to have won at the track in the past 15 years, our most recent victory coming courtesy of Lewis Hamilton in 2008.
