Well, according to images and videos shared online, the Game of Thrones veteran Emilia Clarke was sighted at the legendary track, alongside the renowned F1 drivers.
But amid Emilia Clarke swapping the silver screen for the British Grand Prix, to visit the famous racing team, one thing that sent fans into a frenzy was the actress’ return as the mother of dragons.

During the recent British Grand Prix at Silverstone, alongside several sports persons and celebrities, even Emilia Clarke made a rare appearance at the event and later went on to surprise the renowned drivers at the F1 paddock. Her presence at the racing event not only shocked fans but even bewildered Spaniard Sainz.
Famously known for her role in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and her portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke was even spotted with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. But later on, the British actress was sighted in the McLaren paddock, caressing the McLarens and firing their F1 car.
Meanwhile, considering how fans have been truly disappointed with Game of Thrones ending, McLaren thought it would be great to take a shot at the show’s ending, but with their own twist. Therefore, with Emilia Clarke being present at the paddock, the franchise created a video with her, captioning it “The ending to @GameOfThrones we all wanted”.
As soon as the video went viral, Emilia Clarke’s fans and even motorsport lovers shared their opinions on the event. While racing enthusiasts joked that the Italian team would have used some help from the English actress, one Game of Thrones fan expressed dissatisfaction over how Clarke could have said ‘Dracarys’ while firing the F1 car.
The Mother of Dragons Fulfilled Fans’ Demands by Commanding Dracarys
As more and more fans began corroborating with the X user who expressed their disappointment in the iconic video, McLaren realized the need to shoot another video with Emilia Clarke as a response to the comment. Therefore, later on, Clarke was seen firing up McLaren’s F1 car by recreating the Game of Thrones scene, as asked by the X user.
Responding to the user’s demand, McLaren fulfilled their task by getting Emilia Clarke to command ‘Dracarys’ in her bold Daenerys Targaryen-like persona before firing the car. Thereafter, as the second video hit social media, it simply blew up the site with netizens expressing their excitement over the same.
