The British Grand Prix at Silverstone takes place in July, as part of the Formula 1 season.

After racing through Australasia and Asia, the Formula 1 season is in the middle of its European stint by the time it reaches England.

Silverstone has been regarded as the 'Home of British Motor Racing' since hosting its first Grand Prix in 1948.

Both McLaren drivers, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, will be looking to top the podium on home soil. However, both the Ferrari drivers, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, and Red Bull drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, will be looking to spoil the party at Silverstone. Mark Webber took pole position at last year's Silverstone Grand Prix beating Lewis Hamilton by just over a second.

Check the forecast for the coming days to see how the drivers will fair in practice on Friday through to the race on Sunday.
