2010 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
Silverstone circuit holds the prestigious record of being the first-ever venue for a Formula One race in the official world championship, the 1950 British Grand Prix.
The circuit is 5.141 km long and features 17 corners, ten right-handers and seven left-handers. The British weather is unpredictable and the wind conditions are always a big factor here.
The area was previously a second world war RAF airfield. On F1 race day a number of visitors travel to the circuit by helicopter, enough to make Silverstone Heliport the busiest airport in the country for this day.
