Formula One returns to its heartland this weekend for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. It will be the fourth race in a ridiculous five weekends that have seen the teams crisscross the globe from Canada to Azerbaijan to Austria to the English countryside, 120 kilometres north-west of London.

With only a few days to digest the action from the Red Bull Ring, where Nico Rosberg was penalised for crashing into Lewis Hamilton, his Mercedes team-mate, on the final lap, we should be in for a tense and fascinating weekend.

Hamilton went on to win at the Red Bull Ring, while Rosberg limped to a fourth-place finish in his damaged car. That result cut Rosberg's lead to just 11 points in the drivers' championship.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old Max Verstappen took advantage of Rosberg's misadventure to grab the second podium of his career—holding off Kimi Raikkonen, as he did for his victory in Spain back in May.

Further down the field, Haas took their first points since Russia, with Romain Grosjean coming home seventh, and Pascal Wehrlein scored just the second top-10 finish in Manor's history.

Despite racing under a variety of different flags—including India, the United States and France—the British Grand Prix is a home race for eight of the 11 current F1 teams, whose factories are clustered near Silverstone in what is known as Motorsport Valley.

Hamilton won his last two home races and has three overall. Another win on Sunday would tie him with another Brit, Nigel Mansell, for the second-most British Grand Prix victories, while Jim Clark and Alain Prost lead the way with five each.

On the constructors' side, Ferrari lead the way with 15 British Grand Prix wins. McLaren have 14 wins and Williams have 10. The last non-Mercedes victor at Silverstone was Red Bull's Mark Webber in 2012.
