Silverstone Speed Trap: who is the fastest of them all?

Formula 1 is performing at a proper power circuit this weekend, where sheer engine output is unleashed to the max.

It's hardly surprising therefore to see both Ferrari drivers lead the charge down the straights, with Kimi Raikkonen clocking in with a top speed of 325.6 km/h.

The performance underlines the unquestionable progress of the Scuderia's power unit this season, an achievement often spoken about by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton who believes the Italian outfit has now surpassed the Silver Arrows squad in the power department.

Glancing at the tail end of the field  there are no surprises, with McLaren's duo still making up the rear along with Williams, although Lance Stroll's depressed velocity through the speed trap was due to the off-track excursion he suffered at the outset in qualifying.
