After the tremendous excitement of the Canadian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton speculated to the BBC that this season was “the ultimate challenge that I’ve experienced in F1 – and also maybe in F1 history.” Their correspondent Andrew Benson agreed, labelling the current Formula One season a golden age for the sport.

Nineteen points separate the top five drivers, and with 25 points awarded for a victory this is the finest of margins. Suddenly the British Grand Prix at the newly worked Silverstone looks a hugely enticing prospect.

Many have argued that the circuit will be perfectly suited to Red Bull’s RB6, but with their reliability issues and further improvements to come from their rivals at McLaren and Ferrari, it really is anybody’s guess who will win.

British Grand Prix tickets are available for all three days – practice, qualification and race day.

Race tickets begin at £170 from Seatwave, while VIP Paddock Suite tickets will set you back a cool £2199.99.
