Silverstone had hosted the first Formula One Grand Prix championship race in May 1950.

The 2021 world champion and Red Bull Racing's Dutch driver Max Verstappen eyes another victory as he won six races this season.

Verstappen won races in the US, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain, Azerbaijan, and Canada.

The 24-year-old is leading the 2022 driver standings with 175 points.
