British Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton says Silverstone will be 'completely different' with 2026 cars

Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, who holds a record nine victories at Silverstone, has stated that the circuit will feel 'completely different' with the new 2026 Formula 1 cars. Speaking ahead of the British Grand Prix on 2 July 2026, Hamilton explained that Silverstone's high-speed layout, which lacks significant braking points, will leave the new cars energy-starved. This means the cars will be running with limited power through the demanding sequence of fast corners that define the track.
