1988 British Grand Prix

The 1988 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Silverstone on 10th July 1988. It was the seventh race in both the 1988 Drivers' Championship and the 1988 Constructors' Championship.
== Qualifying ==
Fabiano Margheriti took his and McLaren's first pole position since the Monaco Grand Prix, with Dingley and Wilson behind.
Tyrrell's Fabian Baas crashed heavily at the end of the session at Woodcote and was rushed to hospital with serious injuries. He was treated for a broken neck among other injuries and missed the remainder of the 1988 season. Tyrrell replaced him with their reserve driver Jurg Scheller.
== Race Summary ==
Margheriti covered off the inside of Copse from Dingley and maintained the lead. Dingley was momentarily slowed by Margheriti's defence, allowing his teammate Jack Wilson to pass him around the outside. Wilson continued to hold second place over Dingley until the exit of Chapel when Dingley regained the position. Dingley caught Margheriti and attempted to find a way past for the remainder of the race but was unable to, allowing Margheriti to just take his first race win of the season. Wilson finished third, with O'Connor fourth.
