Voisin aiming for home victory in “unfinished business” at Silverstone

3 July 2025

Callum Voisin is aiming to make amends for last season’s Feature Race that got away, after the Rodin Motorsport driver crossed the line first but lost the win to a post-race penalty.

The Briton was full of confidence ahead of his home event, believing that he and his team have the tools necessary to be quick around the Northamptonshire circuit.

Speaking ahead of Practice on Friday, Voisin said that after last season’s upturn in form began with a strong performance on home soil, he’s expecting more of the same in 2025.

“I’m looking forward to it. Silverstone – home race, the only one of the year where I don’t have to take a flight to the track, so it’s great.

“I fancy our chances for the rest of the year to be honest. I think this was around the time last year where I started gaining a lot of points and it was a bit of a turnaround for me and the team.

“I think these next couple of rounds are the ones where we’re going to make some strides forward, or at least I certainly hope so. So a win on the cards this weekend? Why not.

Voisin says that he and the team should be in good shape around the Silverstone circuit

“When I say unfinished business, obviously it was my fault last year, but at the same time, we won on the road but didn’t end up winning the race. So I definitely feel like I’ve got a little bit of unfinished business, myself and the team. So I’m looking forward to making the most of it.”

While Friday’s running is expected to remain unimpacted by rain, Saturday and Sunday’s Sprint and Feature Races could potentially be held in wet conditions.

Whether or not the rain does fall, Voisin is expecting some close racing following on from an action-packed weekend at Red Bull Ring.

“It probably won’t be to quite the same extent as in Spielberg, just with the nature of the circuit. It’s a very different style compared to Silverstone.

“We go from Red Bull Ring, which is very big on the brakes, low speed corners into long straights whereas here it’s kind of shorter straights but high speed in the corners.

“In terms of the minimum speed, it’s still extremely high. But, we saw last year in the Sprint Race in the dry it was pretty action-packed in itself.”

The British driver is hoping for another strong weekend on home soil after his efforts last season

Looking ahead to the on-track action, the Rodin driver dived into what the Silverstone circuit requires of a driver in order to be quick.

While Qualifying will be about commitment through the high-speed corners around the lap, Saturday and Sunday will focus more on making the most of every opportunity that presents itself.

With very few heavy-braking events around the lap, overtaking is trickier than it seems, but being incisive and opportunistic is crucial to make forward progress.

“On a qualifying lap, the trickiest thing is to hook up the high-speed corners, and it’s pretty full of them around here.

“You’ve got Copse, Maggotts, Becketts, Stowe, they all come fairly quickly one after the other, so it’s very tricky.

“If you haven’t got momentum from the word go, then it’s quite easy to mess it up for the rest of the lap.

“Then in the races, it’s actually quite a tricky track to overtake around. The high-speed corners make it quite difficult to follow, you have to get good exits and make sure when you’re close to somebody, you’re managing to make a move because you can’t stay there for very long in the aero wash. So making moves whilst it’s possible is the main thing.”
