Silverstone was the venue of the first-ever Formula 1 Grand Prix, held on May 13, 1950.
While much has changed with the motorsport in the 72 years since then, the Northamptonshire circuit remains one of the quickest and most iconic on the calendar. Formerly the home of a Royal Air Force (RAF) airfield, it is quite apt that Hamilton has compared driving a lap of the track to flying a fighter jet.
The circuit has undergone numerous layout changes over the years – the most recent in 2010. It currently has two drag reduction system (DRS) zones, where drivers can toggle a flap in their cars’ rear wings to increase their top speed on the straights.
How did Silverstone’s corners get their names?
Abbey – Turn 1
The flat-out first corner of Silverstone’s current Grand Prix layout is named after the ancient Luffield Abbey. Remains of the 12th-century priory were found near to the corner.
Farm – Turn 2
Drivers continue to accelerate through Farm, which – unsurprisely – got its name from a nearby farm. The curve is also where cars feed back onto the track from the pits.
Village – Turn 3
Village did not exist until the 2010 redevelopment. The tight right-hander is the circuit’s first braking zone and provides an overtaking opportunity for the brave. It is named after the adjacent village of Silverstone.
The Loop – Turn 4
The fourth turn does what it says on the tin. As The Loop is the slowest corner on the track, getting a quick exit from the fiddly left-hand hairpin is crucial for the upcoming straight.
Aintree – Turn 5
Now famous for hosting the Grand National horse race, Aintree was also the home of the British Grand Prix in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Drivers continue to accelerate through the left-hand turn that bears its name.
Wellington Straight
The Wellington Straight is formed from one of the site’s former runways and is named after the Wellington bombers that were based at the circuit during the Second World War. It is the first of two DRS zones that drivers can use, ideally to overtake into Brooklands.
Brooklands – Turn 6
As with Aintree, the left-hander of Brooklands gets its name from a former British Grand Prix circuit. The concrete oval near Weybridge in Surrey hosted races in 1926 and 1927, before the creation of modern Formula 1.
Luffield – Turn 7
The long right-hander of Luffield is named after Luffield Chapel. It replaced the former Bridge corner in 1991.
Woodcote – Turn 8
Silverstone’s eighth corner bears the name of Woodcote Park, a stately home in Surrey. The estate is owned by the Royal Automobile Club (RAC), which played a major role in organising the first races at the circuit.
Copse – Turn 9
One of the fastest and most thrilling corners, Copse gets its name from the woodland surrounding the track. Drivers try to tackle the turn flat out to maximise their speed towards Stowe. It is the site of Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s controversial collision in 2021.
Maggotts, Becketts and Chapel – Turns 10-14
This complex has to be one of the most iconic sequences of corners in Formula 1. Maggotts is named after the nearby Maggot Moor, while Becketts and Chapel take their monikers from the medieval chapel of St Thomas à Beckett, which was demolished in 1943 to make way for the airfield.
Hangar Straight
The circuit’s longest straight is the site of another DRS zone, offering a great overtaking opportunity into Stowe. Its name is a tribute to the now-demolished storage buildings used by the RAF.
Stowe – Turn 15
The fast right-hander of Stowe has long been a challenge for drivers as they battle on the brakes at the end of the Hanger Straight. A private school just south of the circuit gives it its name. Michael Schumacher broke one of his legs when a brake failure saw him hurtle into the barriers at Stowe in 1999.
Vale – Turn 16
Motorsport fans are divided on the reason for Vale’s name. Some say it is because the left turn’s undulation is similar to a valley, while others say it is after the district of Aylesbury Vale in which Silverstone is located.
Club – Turns 17-18
The final corner is named in honour of the RAC’s clubhouse in central London. The right-hander can be difficult to execute at the end of a qualifying lap when tyres are overheating.
Hamilton Straight
A short dash to the finish line closes a lap at Silverstone. The pit straight was renamed in 2020 after Sir Lewis Hamilton, the track’s most successful Formula 1 driver.
