1. Sebastian Vettel

The youngest driver to secure a Grand Prix win at Silverstone (2009) will be back after some bitter memories in the last few years. In spite of dominating the calendar, he has been unable to grab a win here in the last three years.

He finished third at the circuit last year behind teammate Webber and second placed Alonso. However, as the championship leader and comprehensive winner at Canada, Vettel would appear to be best placed to tackle Silverstone’s challenges.
