70th Anniversary Grand Prix: TV Program
It is once again at the Silverstone circuit in Great Britain that we will find the teams and their drivers this weekend for the 5th Grand Prix of the season. However, it will be for a special occasion, as Formula 1 will celebrate its 70th anniversary there.

After a British Grand Prix won on 3 wheels by Lewis Hamilton, will the competition be able to topple the silver arrows that have been sweeping all the victories since the start of the season?
Max Verstappen came close to winning the last Grand Prix, but the lead Lewis Hamilton had built up allowed him to cross the finish line first.
The suspense is expected to be present once again as the Italian manufacturer Pirelli will bring a range of even softer tires than last week. Strategists will undoubtedly have to manage a race with at least two pit stops.
On their side, the Grand Prix organizers have decided to add a kerb at turn 14, right at the exit of the famous Maggots – Becketts – Chapel sequence. The drivers were using the grass run-off a bit too much, possibly causing numerous punctures.
As since 2013, it is the Canal+ Group that will broadcast all the sessions from Friday morning to the race on Sunday in full. It will also be possible to watch all the sessions live and in full on the F1 TV streaming channel.
So who will emerge victorious in this 70th Anniversary Grand Prix? Will Mercedes and Hamilton hit the nail on the head, or will we see another driver take the win this weekend? One thing is certain, the competition will have a tough challenge on a circuit that can be considered today as the British driver’s backyard.
While waiting for the race, here’s Lewis Hamilton’s last lap…on three wheels!
