Concerns over Silverstone race emerge as FIA told to take action
The FIA has been urged to address a major issue before the 2026 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, as F1 drivers are facing challenges due to new cars and regulations affecting energy management on the iconic high-speed corners of the circuit.
The Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel sequence, known for providing thrills to drivers, is at risk of losing its allure as drivers now have to adjust their approach to the corners due to increased electrical power in the new power units.
A recent meeting between key stakeholders discussed the impact of energy management on racing at Silverstone, with the need for changes highlighted by Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft.
Croft emphasized the importance of preserving the essence of corners like Maggotts and Becketts by making adjustments before the Silverstone race weekend, to ensure that fans can continue to enjoy proper racing.
The 2026 British Grand Prix at Silverstone is scheduled from July 3-5, with fans urged to secure their tickets for the event in advance.
