2023 F1 British Grand Prix session timings and preview

Red Bull may have been unbeaten in 2023, but the Austrian squad has yet to register a win at Silverstone since F1 switched to V6 turbo hybrid engines in 2014. Red Bull's last victory at the British GP came back in 2012, courtesy of Mark Webber, with all subsequent races won by either Mercedes or Ferrari.

That is not to say Red Bull is not the favourite for Silverstone, and all odds points toward another Max Verstappen triumph. However, one can expect Mercedes, Aston Martin and Ferrari - or at least one of these three teams - to be closer to Red Bull this time around.
