Silverstone GP: Fans brilliantly take the mickey out of Miami marina with version of their own

In a packed weekend of summer sport, we have the crown jewel of the British motor-racing calendar, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

With Mercedes still struggling for performance, a British win for Lewis Hamilton or George Russell may be out of the question, but there will still be plenty for F1 fans to enjoy.

Max Verstappen tops the standings with a healthy lead of nearly 50 points over his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez, having won six of the opening nine races.

Mechanical issues have robbed him of some other high scoring positions but as we approach the halfway point, he will be very satisfied with the current state of affairs.

Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari sits third just three points behind Perez and will acknowledge that driver error has contributed to him being so far behind Max, as well as suffering a couple of retirements of his own.

Whilst Mercedes haven’t been at the level they would want, there are signs that they are on the way back. Hamilton was pleased with the improvements he was seeing at his home Grand Prix as he was second fastest in Friday practice.

That combined with Hamilton making the podium last time out in Canada, his first podium since the opening race of the season mean there are green shoots of hope for Lewis fans.The British Grand Prix is a serious business, but sometimes life can be a little too serious and we need some light relief.

It was good to see the British public poking fun at Miami and their fake marina in this video.
