Crash.net preview: Silverstone.

Friday, 6th July 2007

Formula One's chief support arrives in Silverstone still looking for its first repeat winner and the weather threatening to come out on top this weekend.

Luca Filippi pulled to within eight points of Glock with a second and fourth in France, while the consistent - if yet to win - Lucas di Grassi also made up vital ground in the standings.Bruno Senna, meanwhile, will look to get back to winning ways on a circuit he knows well from both his British F3 career and a recent, victorious, outing in the Ferrari Maranello Challenge - and will need to gain serious points if he is to fend off a resurgent Giorgio Pantano, another big winner from Magny-Cours.

Javier Villa, Pastor Maldonado and Nicolas Lapierre complete the list of winners this season, and occupy places six to eight in the championship. Villa and Lapierre know Silverstone from previous visits, making them the most likely of the trio to succeed, but all will admit that they are outsiders for victory compared to the likes of Glock and co.

Among the non-winners who could spring to prominence this weekend, di Grassi aside, are Glock's iSport team-mate Andi Zuber - who has failed to get off the grid in each of the last three feature races, started from the back of the field in Barcelona's sprint as a result and then forced himself to start from pit-lane in France after hitting the wall on his way to a lowly grid slot after collecting Glock at the first start.... - and Adam Carroll, who took pole and a podium at 'home' last season. The Northern Irish driver still has some settling in to do at FMSI, but will hope for a better weekend than he endured at Magny-Cours, where he was disqualified from the feature and struggled to make up ground in the sprint.

The only other Briton in the field, Super Nova's Mike Conway, will also hope for better fortune this time out, having been spun down the order by over-eager team-mate Filippi in race one in France and then retiring from race two.
