The 2006 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on June 11 2006 at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire England. The race contested over 60 laps was the eighth round of the 2006 Formula One season.Ticket sales were rather slow; the race was scheduled far earlier than normal and local Jenson Button had a rather poor season the previous year. When the race sold out in 2005 Button had been coming off one of his best years.
