2022 BRITISH GRAND PRIX
Silverstone Circuit
1-3 July 2022




Insight and Speed with Cognizant




•    Tyres: Despite Pirelli bringing compounds two steps harder than the previous three events, the high degradation expected means that long stints on the Hard compound are likely. Recent races have often been completed using a one- or two-stop strategy.
 


•    Overtaking: Cars of similar pace tend to end up in DRS trains around Silverstone, with 63% of overtakes assisted by the device. High-speed corner entries and windy conditions further add to the difficulty of passing – although particular attention will be paid to whether ground-effect can improve the situation this year.
 


•    Safety Cars: Silverstone has a high rate of Safety Car deployment, with each British GP featuring at least one since 2014. The timing of these could play a crucial role in the strategy of the race – especially with such a relatively long lap. Virtual Safety Cars are rare, however: just one has been used since its introduction in 2015.
