Silverstone is one of the oldest circuits in Formula 1. This World War II military airport turned into a race track once hosted the first Formula 1 race. This year, however, Silverstone will be in the driver's seat for her F1 swan song, as next year's UK race will see her move to Donington Park.
That's why a large number of British fans flock here to enjoy the thrill of the curtain call at Silverstone.
But next year, fans will find out that they have been tricked by Formula 1 president Bernie, and although Donnington Park has signed a contract with Formula 1, next year's Formula 1 UK race will still be held at Silverstone.

"At this stop, our cars will use a kinetic energy recovery system." Ross Brown pointed to the car in front of him with an expectant look on his face.
Zhang Guan is also very happy, he has invested tens of millions of dollars for this kinetic energy recovery system, and now it is finally the harvest season, with this kinetic energy recovery system, China Power's cars can continue to maintain their advantages in the second half of the season.
"The extra 20 horsepower, even though it's only 6.5 seconds, can be a decisive advantage both in defense and in attack." Ross Brown took the steering wheel, pointed to a button and said, "This is the button released by the kinetic energy recovery system, and you can use it when this little light on it comes on." However, you should be aware that after using the regenerative system, the braking points of the car may be different from before. ”
"I know that with an extra 20 hp, the car can be up to 20 kilometres faster on the big straights, and the braking point is a little bit earlier than usual, so I'll try to get used to it during Friday's practice session." Zhang Guan said a little impatiently.
……
In Friday's practice session, Red Bull Racing was as strong as ever, while the two China Power cars were clearly adapting to the newly installed kinetic energy recovery system, and the results were not as impressive as Red Bull. But in Saturday's practice session, Zhang Guan and Barrichello gradually adapted to the kinetic energy recovery system, and their results gradually improved, and finally came to the top two.
Qualifying on Saturday afternoon was just 25 degrees Celsius and the drivers were not doing well, with Force India's Suthir losing control of his car during a high-speed bend and crashing directly into the tyre wall.
It is worth mentioning that defending champion Hamilton was also eliminated in the first qualifying session, which was the worst qualifying result of his F1 career so far, and it was also in the United Kingdom. You must know that Hamilton is British, he played at home, but he was eliminated in the first quarter, which obviously disappointed British fans.
After the start of the second quarter of qualifying, the eye-catching Red Bull and Ferrari duo made an early appearance, followed by Zhang Guan and Barrichello. It's just that the lower track temperature makes it difficult for the tires to perform at their best.
Ferrari's cars did not continue the form of the first two races, and they did not run very well, but Toyota was at home on a high-speed track like Silverstone. However, Toyota still could not have an impact on Red Bull and Chinese power, and this game was another situation in which Red Bull and Chinese power competed for supremacy.
In the end, in the second quarter, Barrichello was fourth with 1:18.240, followed by Red Bull's Webber with a time of 1:18.209 and Sebastian Vettel with a time of 1:18.119, he was in second place, while Zhang Guan was only 0.02 seconds faster than Sebastian Vettel, and his final time was 1:18.099, still not able to enter the 1:18 mark mark.
In the third qualifying session, Barrichello was the first to run out of the pit lane and kept setting the fastest lap time. The two Red Bull cars in the back followed. After a few laps of trying, Vettel was always a little slower than Barrichello, so he opted for a pit stop to change the tyre, and with Vettel's help, he surpassed Barrichello by as much as 0.3 seconds in 1:19.509.
However, Vettel is still 0.1 seconds away from Zhang Guan, who is firmly in first place with 1:19.411.
Sebastian Vettel didn't give up his efforts, he was fighting for the last lap, but he turned wide in a high-speed corner, so the final time was not as good as his previous time of 1:19.509.
Third place was won by Barrichello with a time of 1:19.856, while Webb was only 0.01 seconds slower than Barrichello in 1:19.868. China Power and Red Bull took the first two starts on the grid, with Zhang Guan starting first with teammate Barrichello behind him, while Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel started second with his teammate Webber behind him.
As for the other cars, the time was 1 minute and 20 seconds.
……
"Zhang Guan got the pole position again! I heard that their cars were upgraded in this race, and now that the cars of China Force have been equipped with a kinetic energy recovery system, they have become even faster. Omi stared at the results sheet without looking back, and then said: "Are the people you found reliable or not?" You must know that Zhang Guan knows how to fight, and ordinary street gangsters are not his opponents. ”
"Boss, don't worry, what I found this time is not your average street gangster! You've probably heard that there is a Fury family in the British boxing world, right? There are already several professional boxers in the Fury family, and the big man I found is a member of the Fury family: Roy Fury. He trained in boxing from a young age and has made some name for himself in the underground boxing world. Helping spoke.
"The bandit Zhang Guan killed at the Taj Mahal Hotel before seems to have also fought black boxing in Southeast Asia. Can you beat this boxer you found? Ommy asked.
"One person may not be able to beat him, but he has other helpers, the so-called two fists are hard to beat with four hands, the heroes can't stand the crowd, several of them besiege Zhang Guan together, there must be no problem." Help continued.
"Pay attention when you start, don't let Zhang Guan run away! He's the fastest man in the world, and if he runs away, no one will catch up with him! Omi then commanded.
"Don't worry, I'll follow up on this matter personally." The assistant nodded.
……
Silverstone is a high-speed circuit that has been the scene of numerous showdowns and sensational accidents, including Schumacher's broken leg.
Racing drivers have a heart for speed, so basically all racing drivers will prefer this kind of high-speed track, and Silverstone is the birthplace of the British racing industry, for drivers, coming to Silverstone is like a pilgrimage, everyone wants to play their best.
At the start, a car with a kinetic energy recovery system is clearly advantageous, as it has an extra 20 hp that allows the car to start faster.
Today, Zhang Guan also enjoyed that advantage, with 20 extra horsepower in his hands, and it was impossible for second-placed Sebastian Vettel to overtake him at the start. And Barrichello, who is behind Zhang Guan, also used the kinetic energy recovery system to hold his third place.
Everything is going well, Zhang Guan is firmly in the first position, he is striding towards eight consecutive victories, rushing towards the moment of making history...... (To be continued.) )
