Few circuits can beat the historic juggernaut of Silvestone, the host circuit of the very first F1® Grand Prix. To this day Silverstone remains the highlight of many F1® seasons, with hurtling speeds and battlefield corners providing a challenge to even the most skilled drivers and Team Principals. Will you add your name to this circuit’s legacy?
McLaren have had a flying start at Silverstone, but at lap 34, an issue with Magnussen’s car brings out a full safety car, putting their race under threat. Norris is in P2, yet to pit, and Piastri is in P5, having already changed onto hards. With a restart looming, and 18 laps to go, manage their strategies wisely to get the team a double podium!
Suggested car setup for Silverstone Circuit:
- High-speed cornering is crucial
- Focusing on top speed, DRS, and low speed cornering is also recommended
- Power circuit
Prepare for crashes and changeable weather at the British Grand Prix; these upsets can present opportunities for a tactical Team Principal.
- With many opportunities for overtakes, there is a high chance of crashes at Silverstone, and you will likely see the safety car or even a red flag.
- The British weather can change swiftly, so you may need to swap to intermediate tyres. Take advantage of the safety car to make that change.
- Aggressive driving can let your drivers climb through the pack, but beware of the circuit’s high tyre abrasion, which will see the rubber wear out more quickly.
