Sky and NOW ratings were high in the GP Silverstone. An exciting race took place on British soil, with the final result hanging in the balance until the final lap. Spectators were thus able to enjoy a three-way battle between Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton who prevailed over Verstappen and Norris. After the Austrian GP the expectations were very high and, as we will also see from number of viewers collected by Sky and NOW, these were not betrayed.
Audiences repaid by the exciting Silverstone GP
Formula 1 is getting its spectators used to it again well. In fact, if after the first two races we expected a championship monopolized by Verstappen, now the forces on the field have changed. Mercedes and McLaren brought some important updates over the course of the season. Thanks to the latter, the two teams managed to acquire enough competitiveness to annoy Red Bull. The three teams therefore find themselves battling in very lively close-quarters battles, a scenario that has not been seen in Formula 1 for some time. The Silverstone GP took place in continuity with what has been seen in the last races and, as if that wasn't enough, to mix the weather also worked hard on the cards. Furthermore, this year's British Grand Prix is unlikely to be forgotten, as it witnessed a return to winning ways Lewis Hamilton.

F1 stops after three weeks: next GP in Hungary
After the Grands Prix of Spain, Austria and the United Kingdom, after three different winners, F1 goes on hiatus. Even if Norris and McLaren seem not yet to be able to question the leadership of Verstappen and Red Bull, it is very likely that we will see a race with uncertain balance. The next GP will be in Hungary, on the historic track ofhungaroring. A circuit which, despite not offering many overtaking opportunities, has been able to give enthusiasts a lot of excitement over the years. Special observation will be the Ferrari. Who knows if by the weekend of July 21st the Maranello team will be able to alleviate its problems and become competitive again.
