Silverstone's mix of corners make it a good test of the abilities of car and driver, but overtaking is difficult.

Becketts and Copse, in particular, are daunting tests for man and machine - and provide spectators with a glimpse of an F1 car's awesome capabilities.

Following some much-needed investment, Silverstone has made efforts in recent years to improve its facilities.

And a new deal securing the race's future for five years gives it the chance to have a major refurbishment.
