F1 is at Silverstone for a second week running and Lewis Hamilton will be hoping for a similar result.
The Brit showed incredible calmness in last week’s British Grand Prix to win even after his tire punctured on the final lap.
Hamilton, 35, will start from second today, with Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas taking pole in qualifying.
Start time: 2.10pm BST
