Hamilton has an impeccable record on home soil, winning at Silverstone on seven previous occasions.
While Red Bull has won the last five consecutive races, it is not a happy hunting ground with Mercedes winning seven of the last nine races at Silverstone.
Another factor in play is that F1 is testing its sprint qualifying format for this weekend.
Friday will consist of one practice session followed by qualifying
Saturday will start with a practice session before a sprint race in the afternoon - the results of this 100km race will determine the grid for the main grand prix.
Three points will be awarded to the winner of the sprint race, two for second and one for third.
