The race in Great Britain marks the end of the Austrian-British double header, which began last weekend, as the sport enters its second phase of the European leg.
It also marks the halfway point of the 2025 world championship season as the Silverstone race is round 12 of the 24-race calendar.
Like the usual British weather, rain is forecast for the weekend. According to the Met Office, Friday will be dry and rain may miss Saturday’s running, hitting early on in the day, but there is a 30-40% chance of rain during the Grand Prix.
