GP SILVERSTONE F1. The 2022 British Grand Prix is being held this weekend at the famous Silverstone Circuit. What time will the start take place on Sunday, when are the qualifications scheduled and on which TV channel to watch them? Here is the complete program for this British GP!
[Mis à jour le 1er juillet 2022 à 16h16] Make way for the British F1 GP this weekend! If Monaco is the Grand Prix of glamour, Monza the temple of speed, the Silverstone circuit is attached to the history of F1 since it is on this former aerodrome that the very first Grand Prix took place counting for the F1 world championship in 1950. The British Grand Prix is therefore naturally very popular with drivers and teams, especially since many of them are located a few kilometers from the circuit based on the border of Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.
This weekend, the race could also take on the appearance of a turning point in the world championship since Ferrari is already back to the wall. If the Italian firm’s F1 2022 very quickly showed its ardor and its pace, especially in qualifying, its reliability raises questions and has already caused many pitfalls for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. 3rd in the championship with 126 points, the Monegasque is 49 points behind the leader, reigning world champion Max Verstappen (175 points) while Sergio Perez is in 2nd place (129 points).
