Silverstone is a high-speed circuit, made even more challenging by this year’s new regulations, as the engineers will have to balance the needs for cornering grip and straight-line speed. This year’s cars can be quite snappy under acceleration. That will make the exit of Club, the final corner, tricky for the drivers. It’s a third-gear corner that opens up at the exit; if the drivers get too greedy with the throttle, they will find the rear end stepping out.
Silverstone almost marks the halfway point of the 2022 Formula 1 season. Scuderia Ferrari will be looking to do everything possible to reduce the gap to Red Bull in both the Drivers and Constructors’ standings, with no grid penalties hanging over Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz this weekend.
