» Kimi Raikkonen has finished on the podium at Silverstone for five straight years.

» The Renaults won't be expected to challenge but Fernando Alonso has finished in the top two for the past three years.

» British drivers have a better success rate at Silverstone (33%) than any other race currently on the calendar but haven't won since David Coulthard's 2000 success.

» Only twice in the last ten years has the polesitter gone on to win the British Grand Prix.

» And in the last ten years, only five of the winners have come from the front row of the grid, with five coming from the second.

» On five occasions since 1986, the winner of the British Grand Prix has gone on to do it back-to-back, which is a good sign for Kimi Raikkonen.

» chickendinner superfact: The last five British Grands Prix have seen five different winners - the longest stretch without a back-to-back winner was 20 years between 1966 and 1985.

» Between 2002 and 2004, Ferrari won three straight British Grands Prix but that period aside, their only other spell of consecutive wins came between 1951 and 1954 - only two of the last nine Ferrari successes have been followed up.
