And then in the presence of King George IV, it held the first round of the new Formula 1 World Championship in 1950 with Giuseppe Farina leading an Alfa Romeo clean sweep of the podium positions.<\/p>\n<p>The perimeter circuit was an unbroken succession of quick corners until Jody Scheckter triggered a seven-car pileup at Woodcote in 1973 \u2013 prompting a chicane to be built there for the next British GP.<\/p>\n\n                            <div class=\"expanding-content__buttons\">\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-down expanding-content__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read full description<\/a>\n                        <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-up expanding-content__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read Less<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n                                \n   <\/div>\n\n<section class=\"c-content-article content-article content-section\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-article__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-article__article\">\n                <h2 class=\"title sanomat\">From the archive<\/h2>\n                                    <div\n                        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n                        data-automation-type=\"related-issue-content\"\n                        data-tags=\"[&quot;Britain&quot;,&quot;Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes-Benz F1 W11 EQ Performance), 1m24.303, 156.336 mph, F1, 2020&quot;,&quot;Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes-Benz F1 W11 EQ Performance), 1m24.303, 156.556 mph, F1, 2020&quot;,&quot;Max Verstappen (Red Bull RB16-Honda), 1m27.097, 151.321 mph, F1, 2020&quot;,&quot;Max Verstappen (Red Bull RB16-Honda), 1m27.097, 151.528 mph, F1, 2020&quot;,&quot;silverstone&quot;,&quot;Silverstone, Northamptonshire&quot;]\"\n                        data-current-post=\"48474\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-article__content user-content\">\n                <p>Eventually, a complex of corners were built before Woodcote as part of a major refurbishment in 1991. When JJ Lehto and Pedro Lamy crashed during testing in 1994, further alterations were made to improve safety.<\/p>\n<p>After many years of sharing the British Grand Prix with Aintree and then Brands Hatch, Silverstone won the contract to become the race\u2019s sole venue in 1987. That year\u2019s GP was a classic with Nigel Mansell passing Williams team-mate Nelson Piquet into Stowe to seal a memorable victory. Brands Hatch secured an exclusive contract to stage the race from 2002 but the Kent circuit\u2019s owners eventually decided to lease Silverstone instead of upgrading their own circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Major modifications were introduced in 2010 with the new Silverstone Wing pit complex built between Club and Abbey and the track extended to 3.666 miles long. Unfortunately, the British weather can play havoc with the event and turn the field car parks into a quagmire \u2013 most notably in 2000.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n
