Ryan Joseph Ramos June 28, 2013

For the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team, it’s time to put TireGate (or TyreGate) in the rear-view mirror and focus on the upcoming races.

This weekend, it’s on to Silverstone for the 2013 British Grand Prix. A good 52 laps around Silverstone circuit should offer a lot of entertainment for fans, especially as competition heats up.

Finally, the Mercedes F1 team was able to win a race in the 2013 Formula One season.

There’s been a short break, but Formula One action resumes next weekend at the Circuit de Catalunya for the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.
