We will have to get used to Formula 1 cars returning to Silverstone after a five-year deal was confirmed this week to save the British Grand Prix.

Silverstone hosted the very first race of the World Championship in 1950 and remains a yearly staple of F1's travelling circus in the year that race 1000 was reached.

Formula 1 is, of course, hugely different to then in almost every respect - and that's no different to Silverstone.

The track has changed numerous times over the years, Leasing Options have produced this video to show you how!
