After his heroic exploits in treacherous conditions last July in front of a three-day sell-out crowd, Britain’s Lewis Hamilton, has cemented his name on the summer sporting calendar.

“Wimbledon has Murray, Wembley has Rooney and Silverstone now has Hamilton,” said Silverstone’s managing director Richard Phillips. “We were a complete sell-out on all three days in July, and the support for the young Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver is such that we are preparing for an even earlier run on sales this year.”
