The British Grand Prix is seen as one of the standout races on the Formula 1 calendar. It was first held in 1926, and since then there have been 78 British Grand Prix races to take place, with Lewis Hamilton the record holder for the most wins (8). Silverstone is the track where the British Grand Prix is held, and this will be the case until at least 2034 due to the leasing agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last Grand Prix held at Silverstone was in 2023, and it saw two Brits make the podium, as Lando Norris and Hamilton finished second and third, respectively. However, it was Max Verstappen who won the race and he was on course, at that point, to bag another driver\u2019s championship title, which he indeed secured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2024 is expected to be a similar story at Silverstone, with current title race leader Verstappen set to be the man to beat in the British Grand Prix. Norris is expected to rival him on home turf, with the race taking place on Sunday, July 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As expected before the season began, reigning world title holder Max Verstappen is out in front in the driver standings and looks highly unlikely to be caught, with the Dutchman the dominant force in Formula 1. At this point, you\u2019d suggest the only driver who could mount any sort of challenge based on points accrued is Lando Norris, but even that is highly unlikely due to the points disparity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
