Just a few days after the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix, Formula 1 returns to Northamptonshire in England’s East Midlands for the tenth round of the 2018 championship – the British Grand Prix, which will mark the last of the triple-header in 2018, as the most recent three races took place in consecutive weekends.
The iconic Silverstone circuit is 5.8 kilometres of some of the most jaw-dropping, speed-hungry turns and straights on the Formula One calendar.
2018 British Grand Prix weather forecast (Weather Info Silverstone):
From the Formula 1 teams’ point of view, different weather conditions can result in very different races, and Formula 1 teams adapt their strategy accordingly, for example using different tyres in wet conditions, and taking account of cross winds which can cause stability problems at high speeds. It is always well worth checking the weather before any grand prix as it can often throw a curve ball into the mix, although in the United Kingdom this time things look pretty straightforward. Conditions appear near-on perfect this year ahead of the 2018 Formula 1 French Grand Prix weekend. Sun will be shining bright for the race on Sunday, July 8 with a temperature of around 27-degree Celsius. There is a slight chance of rain on Saturday, when the qualifying session is scheduled to take place at the Silverstone Circuit, but most likely the session will take place in dry conditions.
