Where the lap is won. And lost.
ABBEY & THE OPENING
Get straight to work.
The opening part of the lap immediately asks for confidence. There is no gentle introduction to Silverstone’s pace.
MAGGOTTS & BECKETTS
Follow the rhythm.
The rapid sequence shows how well the car changes direction. A small compromise early can travel through the whole section.
STOWE & THE RETURN
Finish the job.
Stowe combines speed with the possibility of a braking battle. The closing corners still need a tidy exit.
Silverstone, on your clock.
