  1. Team radio - Lawson to Racing Bulls

    "Who the hell was that? I'm out. Who the hell was that?

    "Whoever this Haas was next to me, he just drove straight into me."

  2. VSC ending

    Lap 4/52

    Yuki Tsunoda was also caught up in the melee of Liam Lawson and Esteban Ocon contact, with the Frenchman unable to get out of the way.

    Gabriel Bortoleto is off the track on his medium tyres and hits the gravel hard. The Brazilian gets going again but the he has substantial damage to his rear wing.

  3. 'Track is drying rapidly'

    As we speak, the track is drying rapidly, every second that goes past the sun is pounding down.

  4. Colapinto retires

    Lap 3/52

    Franco Colapinto is out of this race already. The Argentine started in the pit lane but stalled and now Alpine have ended his day early.

    The messages coming in now from the rest of the intermediate runners on the grid is the track good enough for slicks now.

  5. Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Silverstone

    That is an absolute godsend [virtual safety car] to the guys that have gone out on the slicks. They can't close up the gap but they are really glad that they don't have to push their cars. It was definitely too wet for the slicks.

  6. Team radio - Ocon to Haas

    "I've got damage"

  7. Virtual safety car

    Lap 2/52

    Liam Lawson and Esteban Ocon collided with each other on the opening lap and the Racing Bulls man has come off worse. The VSC has been deployed and Lawson is waiting for some roadside assistance. Lawson moved to the left and Ocon was the innocent party, or was he? Lawson doesn't think so.

  8. 'Clean start' for drivers

    Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Silverstone

    We have a yellow flag, we don't know what for. But a clean start for the drivers, behaving themselves. Max is now getting away from Oscar Piastri but it looks like Lewis Hamilton is putting pressure on Lando Norris

  9. Team radio - Piastri to McLaren

    "Last sector is too wet for slicks"

  10. Go! Go! Go!

    Lap 1/52

    Chocks away!

    Max Verstappen gets a great getaway off the line and stays ahead of the McLaren of Oscar Piastri. Lando Norris is third and Lewis Hamilton fourth but we've had contact - and it's a Racing Bulls. The yellow flag is out and it looks like it's Liam Lawson who has gone off. The New Zealander rejoins the track but is way down the order. And now he comes to a stop.

    Hamilton is hustling Norris at Stowe but the McLaren keeps his third place.

  11. Some cars have headed into the pits, one of them being George Russell, and have swapped to the slicks, which Oscar Piastri thinks is the wrong call.

  12. 'Anything can happen'

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Red Bull boss Christian Horner on 5 Live: "It's damp and slippy, not ideal for us but its same for everybody. We'll try and get a good start and make use of pole. It's not slicks. At this Northamptonshire circuit, it's windy, typical summer's day, sun, wind and rain. Anything can happen."

  13. Formation lap

    The weather has positively perked up now, but the cars continue to follow the safety car to the starting grid. The green inters are bolted on, but when will the pits become busy with cars eager to switch to slicks?

  14. 'All to play for' at Silverstone

    Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Silverstone

    There's no way you can separate these two [McLarens]. There's just too little in it between them, the time differences apart from Austria, Lando put on that fantastic qualifying. It comes down to marginal differences. there's hardly anything in it.

    Down to the start is going to be important, how you get off the line in the damp conditions. I still think the track is greasy, all to play for.

  15. Formation lap

    Teams have fitted intermedaite tyres for this race start, which is understandble, and the next band of strong rain is expected around lap 11. Formation lap begins - behind the safety car...

  16. Latest weather update

    Ian Fergusson
    BBC weather forecaster

    Air temperature 17.4C and the track 23.4C. Wind from WNW, gusting to 22mph in the past hour and liable to increase.

    Currently dry, but further showers are possible from the NW and so FIA official risk of rain is 60%.

    Risk of further showers arriving about 15:30 BST, FIA forecasters have advised teams.

  17. Ferrari back to second

    Mercedes and Ferrari have been swapping places in the past few races but heading into the British Grand Prix, it's the Italian team who sit behind leaders McLaren. Charles Leclerc 's podium in Austria and Lewis Hamilton's fourth place has lifted them one point above the Silver Arrows.

    In the midfield, Racing Bulls have jumped above Haas and into sixth place, while Alpine remain stuck to the bottom of the standings.

  18. Piastri leads the way

    This is how we stand before Silverstone.

    Lando Norris' win in Austria narrowed the gap to his team-mate Oscar Piastri to 15 points at the top of the drivers' championship, but the Australian has the upper hand today with starting one place higher than the Briton. Polesitter Max Verstappen is 61 points behind Piastri and 46 adrift of Norris following his DNF last time out.

  19. Hamilton tops race winner poll

    Thanks to all of you who have voted in our poll on who from the top six on the grid will win today.

    Lewis Hamilton was the overwhelming winner with 39% picking the Ferrari man to triumph for a 10th time at Silverstone.

    McLaren team-mates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris tied for second on 19% with pole man Max Verstappen chosen by 18% of BBC Sport users.

  20. 'You can't count out Verstappen'

    Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Silverstone

    [Max Verstappen] has got to win races, we almost counted him out didn't we? He was very much a surprise pole position. He found something as he does, you can't count him out, you cant count out the Red Bull.

    There's been fantastic races between Ocsar and Max, those two are feisty races, we have Lando lurking in the next row. Plenty of pressure for the guys at the front.

    The first few laps are going to be slippery.
