British Grand Prix
Silverstone has unveiled a new section of its Grand Prix circuit that will be used for this year's British Grand Prix on July 11.The majority of the high-speed circuit that's always a favourite with Formula One drivers is retained in the redesign. The only significant change is from Abbey corner where, instead of heading into Farm Straight, Bridge and Priory, the drivers will now turn right at Abbey on to a new section of track which snakes through the infield before rejoining the old Grand Prix circuit at Brooklands Corner.Despite the circuit length being increased by 760m, lap times for an F1 car will only be increased by four seconds.
