Arriving throughout the day on Friday, our guests were checked into their hotels all within a short distance of the circuit, on a convenient radius depending on where in the country they were travelling from.

Bright and early on Saturday, we were up ready to get to the circuit welcoming guests on their coach transfers, ready to soak up all the action, not just from Formula 1, but F2, F3, Porsche Super Cup and W-Series too! Silverstone is famous for it’s ‘festival’ atmosphere, with the emphasis of the whole weekend on world-class entertainment, on track and off track, and is now a ‘must-have’ ticket for any sports enthusiast. At the base of every Grandstand around the circuit there is an array of shops, food stalls, entertainment, bars and mini fan-zones, each one to be explored and all with its own festival atmosphere. Silverstone has an atmosphere like no other Grand Prix, and from the moment you arrive in the race-traffic whichever day you arrive, you are submerged in another world full of likeminded F1 enthusiasts, where it doesn't matter who you support, everyone can be unapologetically themselves and enjoy the weekend as one.

Whether you are a Lewis Hamilton fan or not, the atmosphere buzzing around him the entire weekend filled everybody with excited energy. Whenever he sped past, the crowd erupted with the same enthusiasm each and every lap. Silverstone really is a special Circuit for Lewis, and from the crowd reaction you can really understand why it means so much to him. After this weekend, Lewis has now achieved his 13th F1 podium here, (and 10th consecutive podium at Silverstone) - the most podiums achieved at a single circuit by any driver.

After a good night’s sleep, we were back at the circuit even earlier on race day, with the crowd seemingly doubling in size from Saturday to Sunday. The Silverstone track is just under 6 kilometres in length and set within an area of over 700 acres – so you can really get your steps in over the weekend!

Another moment of celebration came as quite a surprise for most, when Latifi made it to Q3 for the very first time – delighting the crowd, quite unexpectedly, with his great performance in the wet!

2 race starts, red flags and a horrifying crash later, the race resumed with Carlos Sainz in the lead into the first corner. The race was later quoted as being one of the best races in recent years. There was drama throughout with insane overtakes by Lewis, Charles and Perez passing and re-passing each other, tight battles all the way through the mid-field involving an epic battle between Mick and Max, at one point there were 5 cars battling for position and hustling for points. The loudest cheer from the crowd came where Hamilton seized the opportunity to squeeze past Leclerc and Perez whilst they were fighting for position around Luffield, taking 2nd position whilst speeding past the roaring grandstand at Woodcote.

Sainz was left angered when instructed to allow his team-mate to have ‘breathing room’. Ignoring team-orders, instead he attacked Charles’ Ferrari and passed into Brooklands to retake the lead. “I’m going much faster than Charles” was his justification, and it’s that killer instinct that secured Carlos his maiden win in Formula 1 150 race starts later, converting his Saturday’s Pole position to 1st place Podium position.
