“Silverstone is a track I drove on for the first time last year. It was a weekend with rain, so it was quite eventful. In England, this is always a point that can bring excitement to the race, and surely my team and I are working to secure a good result this weekend,” Rafael Câmara said, referring to last year’s Formula 3 round.

The Formula 2 schedule in England will begin on Friday, with the lone free practice session of the weekend and the qualifying that will determine the starting positions for the two races. The Sprint is scheduled for Saturday at 9:45 a.m., while Sunday features the main event at 7:15 a.m. Sportv, GloboPlay and F1TV will broadcast the race live.
