2026 British Grand Prix: Preview and Predictions

Formula 1 heads to Silverstone this weekend for the 2026 F1 British Grand Prix, and it’s a Sprint weekend too. But who will conquer the historic circuit this year?

In this week’s preview, I run through all the usual stats, deliver possibly the finest Tyre Talk segue of all time and make some predictions. Plus, Adrian Newey reveals when Aston Martin will upgrade their car, and Williams unveil a special livery...ish.
