  1. Lando Norris continues as the fastest on the Silverstone circuit. His team-mate Oscar Piastri is three tenths behind him, making it a current McLaren 1-2.

    Red Bull's Sergio Perez is behind them in third spot, while Nico Hulkenberg is in fourth and Charles Leclerc in fifth.

  2. Kevin Magnussen is on the medium tyres while everyone else is on the soft compound.

    Drivers will want to set fast lap times and do some race simulations before the rain makes it's way on the track.

  3. Team radio - RB to Ricciardo

    Engineer: "Heads up. We have rain coming for the very end of the session. Around 15-20 minutes from now."

  4. Sergio Perez is up in third after setting a fast lap time on the soft compounds.

    Lando Norris had a helmet change when he was in the pits as Daniel Ricciardo is given a heads up that rain is on the way for the last few minutes of the practice session.

  5. Team radio - Norris to McLaren

    "Yeah, check the floor I guess. I went off."

  6. Lando Norris is back in the garage after asking his team to check his floor. The McLaren driver went off the track.

  7. Silverstone sun

    The sun is now shining; I shouldn't have put the extra cardigan on! I've got my shades on and there are a few people who have taken off their jumpers in the grandstands. The track is now bathed in sunshine in parts.

    I think that is going to help with track temperatures - and that's going to help with lap times.

  8. Lando Norris is topping the time sheet with a lap time of 1:26.549, his team-mate Oscar Piastri is three tenths behind him and Haas' Nico Hulkenberg sits in third.

    What's the weather like now?

  9. A British podium?

    Is it wishful thinking to see an all-British podium at the British Grand Prix?

    Lando Norris and George Russell have won a grand prix each so far this season, while Lewis Hamilton reached the podium in Spain.

    The last time there was an all-British podium was at the 1968 US Grand Prix, where Jackie Stewart claimed the victory, Graham Hill in second and John Surtees rounding up the top three.

    We're yet to see an all-British podium at Silverstone.

  10. Lewis Hamilton is setting a lap time on his new soft tyres, as is fellow Brit Lando Norris.

    What time can they set?

    Hamilton is in third and Norris jumps up to P1 spot.

  11. Testing the soft tyre now

    In this session in particular, people tend to put on the softer tyres and really go for a qualifying run, thinking 'right, what have we got in terms of a lap time'. And then they'll settle down on the soft tyres and see if they can run them for a period of time, to see what they can get out of them in terms of a lifespan for the race - indeed, if they can use them in the race.

  12. Oh what's this? Nico Hulkenberg has set the fastest time in his Haas!

    He has a lap time of 1:26.990.

  13. Dark grey clouds loom over the Silverstone track... Is rain on the way?

    Lance Stroll has been whizzing down the track on a fast lap and finishes in second spot, just four tenths behind Max Verstappen's Red Bull.

  14. Drivers have been in the pits to bolt on the red soft compounds.

    Valtteri Bottas is up in second and Fernando Alonso in third. Both drivers have a set of shiny soft tyres.

  15. 'Sainz would be huge signing for Alpine'

    Getting Carlos Sainz woud be a huge signing for Alpine and they are a team that want to desperately do better and recapture some those glorious days they once had.

  16. Carlos Sainz was second before he was bumped down in to third. He's five tenths behind Max Verstappen.

    The Spaniard is yet to join a team for 2025. Who will he join?

    Max Verstappen is currently leading the timesheets and he's just put a set of new soft tyres on.

    But he was the only person to come back into the pits at that time and he looks so cool, calm, relaxed. He's not letting anything, it seems, rattle him at all at the moment.

  18. Cars are making their way into the pits and out. Verstappen is still the only one on the soft tyres. Stroll, Bottas and Hulkenberg remain on the white hard tyres.

    Everyone else has the yellow mediums bolted on.

  19. Max Verstappen is back out on track, can he set a faster time?

    The Ferraris have joined the fastest cars. Charles Leclerc is up in second and Carlos Sainz in fourth.

    Sainz has been on his radio to say he thinks the track is slower now with the wind and temperature.

  20. Charles Leclerc has been on the radio to his race engineer, he says he is struggling with the high speed.

    Max Verstappen has a set of soft tyres bolted on.
