British Grand Prix will clash with the final round of The Open at Royal St George’s as F1 chiefs confirm 3pm start at Silverstone on July 19… with race already a week later than usual to avoid Wimbledon and Euro 2020 finals

The British Grand Prix will clash with the concluding round of golf’s Open Championship after Formula One bosses revealed the start times for this season’s calendar. The Silverstone race will get under way at 3pm on July 19, with the leading group at Kent’s Royal St George’s expected to tee off around 30 minutes before. The British GP is taking place a week later this year to avoid being on the same day as both the men’s Wimbledon final and the delayed Euro 2020 championships showpiece at Wembley Stadium on July 12. Both last season’s British Grand Prix and 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at the Northamptonshire venue took place behind closed doors.
