According to AT&T WilliamsF1 driver Nico Rosberg, Silverstone is one of the of the most challenging tracks remaining on the schedule (although it is due to disappear from 2010 when the British Grand Prix switches venue to Donington Park).

Drivers need to be as finely honed as their cars to cope with the immense g-forces through Copse, a 170mph right-hander, and the high-speed Becketts complex.

"Silverstone is a great circuit, one of the few remaining tracks that really challenge a driver," said Rosberg. "It has quite a varied layout but really is dominated by the fast corners. Our car is much better suited to these types of circuits this year, so I'm going to Silverstone with more optimism than I did last! As well as taking into consideration the high speed corners for set-up, you have to consider the relatively slow sector three. We have to work quite hard to make sure we get the optimum balance on the car to hook up a competitive lap time because of those extremes. Overtaking isn't easy at Silverstone, so qualifying is also really important here."

"Even though I'm German, it still feels special racing in front of the British fans when you drive for a British team. The atmosphere is amazing at Silverstone, and I know that lots of people come for the weekend who are based in the factory. As a reward for all their efforts this year, it would be amazing if we could deliver a really good result on Sunday."
