Silverstone circuit: how F1's spiritual home has evolved
From wartime airfield to Formula 1 icon, Silverstone's evolution tells the story of how a series of British runways became a global motor sport landmark
It’s a big one… Our 100th podcast here at Motor Sport and it’s the first one in partnership with Mercedes-Benz. It was also our first podcast al fresco in the British summer sun.
Derek Warwick was on his usual fantastic form and we cover everything from nicking his Dad’s engines in Superstox to his Uncle Stan flying aeroplanes under Tower Bridge (yes, really). We also find time to talk about sports cars, Formula 1 and young British driving talent.
