Description The 2016 British Grand Prix (formally known as the 2016 Formula 1 British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 10 July 2016 at the Silverstone Circuit in Silverstone, United Kingdom. The race was the tenth round of the 2016 season, and marked the seventy-first running of the British Grand Prix, and the fifty-second time that the race was held at the Silverstone Circuit since the series inception in 1950.
Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg entered the round with an eleven-point lead over team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the Drivers' Championship. Mercedes holds a one hundred and three point advantage over Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship. During Saturday's qualifying session, Hamilton achieved the 55th pole position of his career to start from the front of the grid, ahead of teammate Rosberg and Max Verstappen.
The race started behind the safety car due to rain shortly before the start. Lewis Hamilton was able to convert his pole position into a third straight victory at the British Grand Prix, leading home Rosberg and Verstappen in changing conditions. Rosberg came under investigation by the race stewards after he received detailed instructions by his team how to work around a gearbox problem in the closing laps of the race, a practice forbidden under Formula One regulations. He was later handed a ten-second time penalty, demoting him to third place. The result saw Rosberg's championship lead reduced to just a single point over Hamilton.
