2023 F1 British Grand Prix: Start time, TV, grid for Silverstone race

The 2023 Formula 1 season has arrived at the hallowed grounds of Silverstone in England.

The British Grand Prix serves as the home race for McLaren's Lando Norris and both Mercedes drivers, George Russell and seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton.

Last season, Logan Sargeant became the first American driver to win an F2 race when he captured a victory at Silverstone. The Williams driver finished 13th at last week's F1 Austrian Grand Prix, his second-highest finish in his rookie campaign.

All of the drivers will be attempting to slow down Red Bull Racing, who has won every competition so far this season, with defending champion Max Verstappen riding a five-race win streak.

This year's showdown at Silverstone features an extra dose of excitement as Brad Pitt will be on the grid. Filming is underway for a Formula 1-inspired movie where the actor plays a veteran driver named Sonny Hayes. The character has a garage in the pit lane, and Pitt is expected to drive a modified F2 car at some point during the weekend to film scenes for the Apple Original movie. Hamilton serves as one of its producers.
