F1 Live Stream 70th Anniversary GP 2020

F1 Live Stream 70th Anniversary GP 2020, Start Time and Broadcast Channel: Formula 1 is headed to Silverstone for the second week running, to mark seven decades of Formula One racing.

After a dramatic finale at the British Grand Prix, it is time to head back again to the iconic Silverstone. This time for the 70th anniversary Grand Prix, a special race in the F1 2020 season calendar.

Mercedes have had a monopoly over the season so far, winning all the races. Reigning champion has won three out of four of them, as he strives to equal Michael Schumacher’s record of 7 championship wins. His teammate Valteri Bottas will look to provide strong competition to Lewis. This after Bottas has been confirmed as the Mercedes driver for the 2021 season as well.

Further down, the competition for places is heating up between Racing Point, Mclaren, Renault and Ferrari. It will be fascinating to see how does Ferrari fare against these rivals. Sebastian Vettel had a poor race earlier at Silversone, and will look for a turnaround this time round.

There are two more talking points this race weekend. One of them is the FIA verdict of the Racing Point RP20 legality. It is expected to be released this weekend, after Renault’s double protests against it. The highlight of the protest is the use of brake ducts by Racing Point, which Renault claim has been ‘illegally obtained’ from Mercedes.

Secondly, the Pirelli tyres have been in prime focus after three cars suffered from front-left failures at the British Grand Prix. Pirelli have since announced the findings of their investigation, and also confirmed there will not be any tyre combination changes this weekend.

Hopefully the tyres stay on this time round till the end of the race and we get to some more wheel-to-wheel racing action.
