Formula 1 British Grand Prix 2008

04/05/06 July 2008

Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix will see 22 of the world’s best drivers fighting through the sweeping turns of the Northamptonshire Circuit from the 4th to the 6th of July 2008.

Last years wonder rookie, Lewis Hamilton along with the other British Formula 1 drivers, Jenson Button and David Coulthard will guarantee that Silverstone is filled to capacity. Lewis and the McLaren Mercedes team will surely fire up the home crowd as this Great British Event unfolds. Lewis narrowly missed out on collecting the 2007 F1 Driver’s title to Ferrari’s Kimi Räikkönen, and if last season was anything to go by, will no doubt keep the cool Finn a little bit warm in his Ferrari.

Silverstone has over the years seen some amazing F1 spectacles. The epic battle between Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet in 1987, showed just how passionate the British crowd can be. Mansell said that the people power was worth 5 seconds to him at Silverstone. We hope that Lewis, Jenson and David all benefit from this enthusiasm in the 2008 Formula One Grand Prix.
