2022 BRITISH GRAND PRIX
Silverstone Circuit
1-3 July 2022





Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: The British Grand Prix is one of the highlights on the Formula One calendar, as well as being a traditional part of the British sporting summer.



The Silverstone track is largely unchanged from last year and still presents a huge challenge for the cars, tyres and drivers.



The track is characterised by its high-speed corners and regular short straights, and the exposed Silverstone site means that the wind can have a dramatic and often unpredictable effect on the cars.



We have an updated aero package for this weekend, which will run on Alex’s car only as we look to check its behaviour and confirm that it is working as intended. The bodywork and floor form the basis of the upgrade and are intended to efficiently increase the downforce of the car.



We are looking forward to our home race and to understanding the new parts; they are likely to change the balance and the handling of the car and it may take a little bit of time to harness them so that the drivers can get the most from them.

With next week’s race in Austria being a Sprint Event, we will be looking to get as much learning done this weekend as possible.
