What time is the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix? How to watch on TV and live stream
The 70th Anniversary Grand Prix is next up on the 2020 Formula 1 season calendar – the second of two races at Silverstone.
Formula 1 returns to Silverstone for a second successive weekend to stage the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix.
This one-off race is part of the truncated F1 calendar that currently features just 13 Grands Prix.
Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix last weekend on the same track and is the firm favourite to claim victory here too.

The Mercedes driver smashed the track record as he romped to victory in front of empty stands.
His team-mate Valtteri Bottas will be desperate to secure at least a podium spot after a tyre blow-out in the lingering laps of last weekend’s race.
Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc is now the main focus for Ferrari, with Sebastian Vettel labouring for points.
Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris will each be hoping for another fruitful race weekend to get into the top three.
But Hamilton’s main rival could well be Max Verstappen, so long as the Red Bull driver snares a front-row spot in qualifying.
Hamilton looked shaky off the last time out yet still pulled away to lead from start to finish – and Verstappen will hope to cause the Brit problems here.
