Bottas is 0.189 up on Hamilton in sector two...

Vettel improved his time to a 1:29.850 to strengthen his grip on top spot, but he's already down to fourth after improvements for Raikkonen and Ricciardo and a new benchmark from Hamilton.

Carlos Sainz has a high-speed half-spin at Becketts. He just about holds it together as his Toro Rosso bounces over the grass and continues on his way.
The Toro Rossos were ragged in practice in Austria a week ago and that was another untidy moment.

We've 10 cars with times on the board now as this 90-minute session begins to simmer.
Sebastian Vettel has just gone quickest of all with a 1:30.320 - a second or so off the pace we saw from the Mercedes this morning. It's two tenths up on what he did this morning though, and set on the slower tyre.
Alonso set for 30 grid-place penaltiespublished at 13:09 British Summer Time 14 July 2017

Chief F1 writer at SilverstoneFernando Alonso already has a five-place grid penalty for using too many engine parts this weekend. Honda has made it clear he will have more but have so far been a bit coy about exactly what.
A little bird tells me that Honda will likely fit a whole new power-unit ahead of Saturday. That’s going to add up to a lot of nominal penalty places - 30, I reckon, although that’s to be confirmed - and a definite start from the back.
