Round 11 of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship brings MoneyGram Haas F1 Team to Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix.
Silverstone was back where it all began for the Formula 1 World Championship on May 13, 1950, on the perimeter layout of the runway strips used by the Royal Air Force in World War II. Britain has been a mainstay on Formula 1’s calendar since the championship’s inaugural race and Silverstone has been the host venue each year since 1987, following spells at Aintree and Brands Hatch.
Silverstone is renowned as a fast and flowing circuit, which tests the aerodynamic prowess of Formula 1 cars, and puts a high energy load through Pirelli’s tires. High-speed sequences such as Copse, Maggotts and Becketts, and Stowe have been tackled by the greats throughout Formula 1 history and now the class of 2023 are ready to sweep around Silverstone’s iconic tarmac.
As well as the location for Formula 1’s first championship round, Britain is the home for the majority of Formula 1 teams. Eight of the 10 participating entrants – including MoneyGram Haas F1 Team – have either their headquarters or satellite operations in Britain, with many in close proximity to Silverstone. That means a large portion of the paddock has the unusual experience of commuting to work from home during the British Grand Prix weekend.
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team enters the British Grand Prix in seventh position in the Constructors’ Championship after returning to the points-paying positions in Austria. Nico Hulkenberg has scored points in nine of his 10 starts at Silverstone, most recently in 2020, when he began the one-off 70th Anniversary Grand Prix from third on the grid. Kevin Magnussen also scored points on his most recent Silverstone start, in 2022, and took a best of seventh in his rookie campaign in 2014.
