Who will conquer this high-speed battle at the long-established Silverstone circuit?
This legendary circuit hosted the first-ever F1 race in 1950. Originally an air field, the circuit's main feature is its flatness. The course consists of several long straights and fairly high-speed corners, demanding durability of both engine and tires. A low-speed section has been built into the last part of the course, requiring settings that provide good balance. The infamously mercurial English weather is always a concern.

2006 grand prix
The eighth race of the season, held on June 11th, was the British GP. Ralf started P7 on the grid, but Jarno was forced to start from the very back, due to engine trouble during qualifying. On the first lap of the race, Ralf tangled with another car in Beckett's Corner, forcing an early retirement. Jarno was able to make the most of the tires not used during qualifying, gaining position during the middle stage of the race. Unfortunately, he was caught behind traffic during the last stage of the race, gritting his teeth in frustration. In the end, Jarno had to settle for an 11th-place finish.
