FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX |
Britain has a proud history in Formula One. The country has produced ten world champions and over 200 race wins, and the majority of competing teams have been born right here in Blighty. Originally an RAF airfield during war time, Silverstone is officially the home grand prix for three of the current teams, although another five are based in the immediate surrounding area.
