What is the British GP forecast?
Lando Norris was on the top step of the podium last year and was joined by McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg, who claimed his first F1 career podium
For those of you lucky enough to be going to Silverstone, it should be a mostly dry and warm weekend – not as hot as the heatwave of the previous week.
Friday is expected to be sunny with a gentle breeze and a high temperature of 25C, while Saturday’s sprint race and qualifying will be slightly cloudier with a moderate breeze but the same temperature.
For the race on Sunday, it is back to clear skies and a gentle breeze with temperatures reaching 26C.
How does the sprint race work?
Max Verstappen won the inaugural sprint race at Silverstone in 2021 ahead of former Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas
Silverstone returns to hosting a sprint event for the first time since the format was introduced in 2021.
Sprint qualifying has three sessions, where now the six slowest cars are knocked out from the first two – like normal qualifying.
These sessions, known as SQ1, SQ2 and SQ3, last 12, 10 and eight minutes respectively.
This will make up the grid for the sprint race.
Only the top eight finishers score points, with eight points awarded for first place to one point for eighth, which will get added to the overall drivers’ championship standings.
Following Silverstone, the final two sprint races take place at the Dutch Grand Prix in August and the Singapore Grand Prix in October.
