Mahindra Racing Team Principal and CEO, Dilbagh Gill is currently placed under isolation in Berlin ahead of the final six races set to begin from tomorrow at the Tempelhof Airport site.

After a spell of underwhelming races, Mumbai-based racer Jehan Daruvala finally had a spectacular run in the British GP's sprint race on Sunday finishing fourth.

Both the Mercedes cars picked up tyre blisters on the final laps that saw Valtteri Bottas moved down to a disastrous P11, up from P2, while Lewis Hamilton barely made it to the finish line with a deflated tyre barely attached to his car.

Bengaluru-based racer, Akhil Rabindra has signed up with Aston Martin Racing Academy for the 2020 season for the second consecutive year. The 24-year-old continues his association with the British factory racing team, having been the only Asian driver to be signed by the AMR Driver Academy in 2019. He is a part of the 12 elite drivers selected from across the globe, who will undergo training and assessment with the AMR team in the UK. The best performer gets the opportunity to sign a contract with the factory Aston Martin Racing Team as a junior driver in 2021.

Lewis Hamilton pipped teammate Vatteri Bottas to secure pole at the Silverstone Circuit, his seventh at the track, the maximum for any driver at a home event. The 2020 British GP also marks the 100th front-row start for the Mercedes team.

Nico Hulkenberg has been confirmed to race for Racing Point for the next two weekends - the British GP and the 70th Anniversary GP - both of which will be held at the Silverstone Circuit in the UK. The German fills in for Sergio Perez who was tested positive for COVID-19.

The design was submitted by six-year-old Eva Muttram as part of a competition, which the McLaren Racing driver will now wear in his home grand prix this weekend at the Silverstone Circuit.

Sergio Perez will not be participating in the F1 British GP this weekend after testing positive for COVID-19. Racing Point will be fielding two cars though for the race and will announce a replacement driver soon.
