With the future of the British Grand Prix unclear, Max Verstappen backs a push to keep the race at Silverstone on t🎃he Formula 1 calendar.

This weekend’s race will be the last British GP under Silverstone’s its current contract after the Nort༒hamptonshire track activated a break clause in 2017.

Negotiations remain ongoing between Silverstone and F1 to strikꦡe a new ꧟deal for 2020, with the key issue being over hosting costs, but a provisional F1 calendar for next year would currently see the British GP omitted for the first time in the sport’s history.

Verstappen says the race at Silverstone is one every driver relishes and hopes to put on a great sho💖w at Red Bull’s second home race after winning its first at the Austrian Grand Prix last time out.

“Because our factory is just down the road it is another home race for the team so I hope we can continue our progress and put on a great show for everyone on Sunday,” Verstappen said. “A lot of great, fast corners is what we like and I can’t ♔imagine the calendar without the British Grand Prix.

“I really enjoy Silverstone Circuit because of the high-speed corners, Becketts and Maggots being my favourite, and it’s great fun🐓 to drive.

“I also know it pretty well after racing there in F3 before♎ F1. I love to see all the British fans camping and supporting us in the grandstands. There is always a big turnout and they are definitely some o💦f the most passionate F1 fans in the world.”

Verstappen has secured one podium finish at S♒ilverstone in his F1 career when he claimed second place be💯hind Lewis Hamilton in 2016.

Red Bull’s last British Grand Prix victory was taken by Mark Webber in 2012, while engine partner Honda’s most recent win at Silverstone stretches back to 1989 with Alain Prost driving foܫr McLaren.

While negotiations between Silveဣrstone and F1 continue, a new British race has also been speculated aro♏und London’s city streets.
