British Grand Prix 2010 Qualifying

British Grand Prix 2010 will be held at Silverstone. After a lot of speculation and doubts that Donington Park will be ready to host Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2010, it was announced in December 2009 that the British Grand Prix will return to Silverstone after all.

The staging fee agreed is believed to be £12m for 2010, rising by 5% per year thereafter. The deal has a break clause after 10 years.

Silverstone, which first staged the British Grand Prix in 1948, admitted it needed to improve its ageing facilities but insisted it required the security of a longer-term contract to justify and help raise the finances needed to upgrade.

Hamilton sees McLaren improvement

• Posted in F1 News

Lewis Hamilton says he can see “light at the end of the tunnel” after a hugely frustrating start to the season.

The reigning world champion has won just nine points this campaign, with his McLaren car struggling to keep pace with the likes of Brawn and Red Bull.

But Hamilton, who finished 16th at the British Grand Prix, still harbours some optimism for the rest of the season.

“I’m hoping we will have some huge improvements for the next race… (and) for our end-of-season push,” he said.

“While the result didn’t look so good for us again, I think we can take some positives away from this weekend because we genuinely learnt a lot about our car.

“It’s still not going to be a day-and-night change that makes the difference, but I’m hoping we can gain some advantage to help improve our results.”

Hamilton’s best result of the season, after he was stripped of third place at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, has been his fourth place in Bahrain back in April.

BBC: Vettel grabs pole for British GP

Sebastian Vettel secured pole for the British Grand Prix in his updated Red Bull car as Brawn’s championship leader Jenson Button struggled to land sixth.

Vettel edged Button’s team-mate Rubens Barrichello into second and his own team-mate Mark Webber into third with a time of one minute 19.509 seconds.

Toyota’s Jarno Trulii will start Sunday’s Silverstone race in fourth ahead of Williams’s Kazuki Nakajimi.

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton is 19th, the worst qualifying result of his career.

ITV: Vettel surges to Silverstone pole

Sebastian Vettel took his third pole position of the season at Silverstone on Saturday, overcoming a stern challenge from Brawn GP’s Rubens Barrichello and his own Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber.

The 21-year-old German played second fiddle to Webber in the first part of Q3, but turned the tables with a superb on-the-limit final flier.

Home hero Jenson Button could only manage sixth after struggling with a lack of grip, while 2008 Silverstone winner Lewis Hamilton was sidelined in Q1 and will start on the back row of the grid.
