Lewis Hamilton has won a record nine times at Silverstone but arrives this year on a 13-race run without a podium, equalling the longest drought of the seven-times world champions Formula One career.
The Briton would dearly love to win again this weekend and end the unhappy sequence in his first race in Britain as a Ferrari driver.
It would be a great place to be able to change that, so thats what we are working towards, the 40-year-old told reporters on Thursday. Hamiltons British Grand Prix record is simply phenomenal: on pole seven times, on the podium 14 times the most by anyone ever at a home race.
Of all his 105 career wins, last years with Mercedes at Silverstone was one of the most emotional closing a 56-race gap between wins and a wait of 945 days.
Until now Hamilton has always raced here with British teams, first McLaren and then Mercedes.
