British Grand Prix - live on ESPN Star Sports

MUMBAI: ESPN STAR Sports, Asia's leading sports broadcaster, will bring LIVE all the excitement of F1 racing this weekend with the British Grand Prix. The channel will telecast LIVE and EXCLUSIVE the Grand Prix from Silverstone with its signature show Race Day (pre race) and Chequered Flag (post race) as part of its comprehensive F1 programming for Indian viewers.

For the first time McLaren's Lewis Hamilton will race a Formula One car in front of his fellow countrymen. Championship leader Hamilton has a 14-point cushion vis-à-vis his team-mate, Fernando Alonso. He came into the limelight last year when he won an enthralling GP2 Series race at Silverstone. Hamilton races into this weekend with a hope of joining a long list of Britons who have won the British Grand Prix: Sir Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, Peter Collins, Jim Clark, David Coulthard, Sir Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, Nigel Mansell, John Watson, Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert.

The pressure builds up on Hamilton after the demonstration of speed by Ferrari at Magny-Cours, which has given the world championship fight a fresh injection of adrenaline. Silverstone marks the midpoint of the world championship, with McLaren currently at 114 points and Ferrari at 89. Whatever the result maybe, Hamilton will leave Silverstone with at least a three point lead in the standings after his eighth straight podium finish in France.

The home of British Motor Sport, Silverstone hosted the first-ever round of the World Championship in 1950 and is one of the only two circuits to have hosted a championship race consistently, ever since. Revisions to the circuit and several enhanced safety features have made racing at Silverstone even more interesting.
