Alex and Logan preview the British Grand Prix

It’s time for our home race and it’s safe to say we’re going all out as we begin our 800th Grand Prix celebrations.

Our FW45 will be running an adapted livery for the weekend whilst its two drivers will be looking to see where the update package stacks up around the historic Silverstone Circuit.

Here is what Alex Albon, Logan Sargeant and Dave Robson have had to say ahead of the 2023 British Grand Prix.

Silverstone is where the FW45 first rolled out way back in February and Albono will be keen to discover how much our 2023 challenger has come on since that day.

“A home race for the team and in some ways a home race for myself as well.

“I love this circuit, it's one of the best tracks of the year. Silverstone is always a special race to go to.

“We're celebrating our 800th GP so it'll be nice to show off the modified livery.

“In terms of pace, we'll be there or thereabouts. Possibly not as competitive as Canada or Austria but still competitive to give us the opportunity to score points.”

Logan has been a winner at Silverstone in F2, F3 and British F4, so is understandably excited for his first F1 weekend at the venue.

“I’m really excited to be going back to one of my favourite tracks this weekend.

“Silverstone has always been good to me and I love all the high-speed sections of the track.

“Hopefully we can get the car working well and have a good weekend.”

Finally, our Head of Vehicle Performance, Dave Robson, has outlined the plan for both cars during the weekend ahead.

“Silverstone is always a good test of the car and the drivers, and following races in Canada and Austria, the British Grand Prix weekend is a very useful reference for the updated FW45.

“Both drivers continue with the same basic package as they raced last weekend at the Red Bull Ring, but they will each have a new aerodynamic item to look at in FP1 as part of our ongoing R&D programme.

“This weekend sees the full introduction of the new Pirelli tyre construction, which all teams tested in Barcelona.

“This is expected to work well with the hard compounds that Pirelli have supplied for this event.

“All three compounds should offer useful trades of performance and degradation and will offer useful strategic flexibility.”
