The Formula One calendar makes its second pit stop at Silverstone for the special 70th Anniversary Grand Prix this afternoon.
It would be fitting if the special edition race - the second part of a double-header in Northampton - was won by Britain's most decorated driver, Lewis Hamilton, after he clinched his seventh victory at Silverstone last weekend.
Just as in Austria, this weekend's race cannot be called the British Grand Prix, because there would be a duplication of the event that happened a week ago.
Instead, organisers have decided to commemorate the first race at the famous circuit held in 1950.
Hamilton will be desperate for another win that would take him closer to a seventh world championship title and also equalling Michael Schumacher's record of 91 race victories.
Even a last-lap tyre blowout didn't stop the 35-year-old from taking the chequered flag a week ago. But it serves as a warning that Mercedes, while dominant, are not invincible.

Valtteri Bottas will be hoping for better luck around this track after falling out of the points due to his late puncture, having secured pole position ahead of Hamilton on Saturday.
Nico Hulkenberg was the star of qualifying as the German - standing in again for Sergio Perez, who tested positive for coronavirus - claimed P3 for Racing Point ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen and the Renault of Daniel Ricciardo.
There was more misery for Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who will start 12th on the grid after being eliminated in Q2.
