The 2008 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix will long be remembered as a classic Formula 1 encounter. As the rain battered the Silverstone circuit, Lewis Hamilton put in one of the greatest-ever wet race drives to stand head and shoulders above his rivals and secure a popular home race victory. A win that proved critical towards also winning his maiden World Championship crown. On a day in which even the most experienced Formula 1 drivers struggled to keep their cars on track, Lewis stole the show.

The 2009 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX is expected to be another sell-out as Northamptonshire welcomes home the reigning world champion, and the youngest in the sport's history. Furthermore, the best teams and race drivers in the world have a new and challenging set of regulations to contend within and as the dramatic opening races have proved, the new rules have added an even greater unpredictably to the racing spectacle that is Formula 1.

But that’s not all. The 2009 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX will also showcase the next generation of F1 drivers as the GP2 Championship rolls into town and add to that the Porsche SuperCup, the Santander F1 driver appearance stage and Silverstone's famous Grand Prix Party and it’s little wonder that this is the hottest ticket of the year.
