Silverstone is on the A43 in Northamptonshire, 8km 5miles from Towcester and 9km 5. It is easily reached by two motorways — the M1 and the M Main line rail services from London and the regions are available at both Milton Keynes and Northampton. As for those traveling by air, Luton and Birmingham are the closest airports to the circuit, but both are around 50 miles away. Fans would flood onto the circuit to celebrate when Nigel Mansell claimed victory, something he did on three occasions.
The World Champion would camp at Silverstone just like the fans did, enjoying a barbeque before watching the highlights, so it's no surprise that he built up a solid connection with the British fanbase.
It was just a fantastic occasion. Mansell Mania though is only part of Silverstone's rich history. It was in when we saw Mansell give his rival Ayrton Senna a lift back to the pits after his McLaren ran out of fuel.
Speaking of McLaren, how about when Lewis Hamilton truly burst onto the scene in with that legendary wet-weather drive in front of the Silverstone crowd? These days Formula 1's latest knight rules his home turf as a seven-time winner at Silverstone. Or if it's controversy that you're after, Michael Schumacher got about as controversial as you can get by winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone by driving through the pit lane.

Copse is flat and then into Maggots and Becketts is just epic," - Daniel Ricciardo. The usual three-part knockout qualifying hour still took place, but moved from its usual Saturday afternoon slot to Friday evening. That session progressed through Q1, Q2 and Q3 as normal to find the fastest driver and determine the order. In changes to the normal rules, all drivers ran on soft tyres the fastest available compound of the weekend throughout and the results, as mentioned, setting the starting order for F1 Sprint on Saturday as opposed to the Grand Prix on Sunday.
Williams' George Russell starts from eighth, his best grid spot for the team. Two 'race' starts over the weekend but only one official pole position for the record books - and that, as ever, goes to the driver who starts from the head of the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix.
So, for example, if Lewis Hamilton wins Saturday's sprint, he'll also be credited with F1 career pole number Drivers who win the sprint, or who finish second and third, are not credited with race wins or podium finishes to their career statistics.
But the achievement is still recognised by F1 after the race as, in a nod to the sport's history, the trio will be presented with wreaths and take part in a victory parade around the lap. There are only two practice sessions this weekend, one fewer than normal, each running to one hour in length as is now the case in F1 from this year. Practice Two then followed between qualifying and the Sprint at Saturday lunchtime.
Sky F1 build-up starts at 1. The usual points apply for race day, that's 25 for the victory or a maximum of 26 if the winner nabs the fastest lap too down to one point for 10th place.
The only difference is that drivers who start in the top 10 are not locked into starting on the tyre they set their best time in Q2 on.
