Silverstone planning major British GP change as fans clamour to cheer on Lewis Hamilton

British Grand Prix organisers are hoping to cash in on the Formula 1 boom by adding an extra day of racing action.

The Silverstone race has seen a huge increase in interest over the last couple of years thanks to the worldwide popularity increase of the sport. It is one of the most popular events on the calendar with fans clamouring to visit the circuit to take in the action.
