Hill back in title hunt after winning dramatic Silverstone opener
Despite the drizzle in the air, some drivers chose to use slick tires while a few, including Hill, went with wet tires. This decision paid off as the drizzle intensified and caused problems for those on slicks. There was already drama before the race even started, as the pole-sitter Mikey Doble mistakenly continued for a second formation lap instead of taking his position on the grid. With Doble out of position, Hill quickly took the lead from third on the grid and maintained it throughout the race. The usual front-runners suffered the consequences of their tire choice, allowing Hill to secure an easy win and close the gap on championship leader Ash Sutton. Rowbottom secured a podium finish, while Sutton finished outside the points but still maintains a significant lead in the championship. Turkington had a difficult race, falling down the order and eventually finishing in 26th place.
