See you later!
For the moment we say goodbye to Formula 1 in Silverstone. It continues at 4:00 p.m. with qualifying. We’ll get back on time.

Tight training
The 3rd free training in Silverstone has made it clear: McLaren cannot weigh itself to safety. The team around Lando Norris and Oscar Piatri once again presented themselves strongly, but the competition is close. The first four drivers were within just one tenth of a second, which indicates a highly exciting qualifying. Lewis Hamilton, who only landed in eleven, should not be too concerned with a view of the further course of the weekend: he was on a very fast round when the red flag came out for the first time.

End 3rd training
The 3rd training on the Grand Prix Circuit Silverstone has ended. Lando Norris was fourth in front of Yuki Tsunoda and Oliver Bearman with a good tenth of a second. Alex Albon, George Russell, Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson complete the top ten. Nico Hülkenberg was 15. The TV pictures meanwhile show another incident. Oliver Bearman slipped into the barrier after a spin. He can continue and saves the car back to the box.

Verpappen in traffic
Max Verstappen was on a promising round, but in the fast Becketts passage Pierre Gasly got in his way in the alpine. The Dutchman had to walk slightly from the gas and thus lost valuable time. On the Hangar-Straight, Verstappen acknowledged the disability with a sarcastic thumb up towards Gasly.

Alpine F1 team
The first lap times are set. Pierre Gasly showed a 1: 28,518 at the start. It’s still calm on the course. In addition to the two alpine drivers, only the Aston Martins are on the road. However, they will surely get the tires for race Sunday and not go from lap times.

It has just been announced that the 3rd training will begin with a few minutes late. There is still swept on the route after the supporting program is on the asphalt. It should start at 12:35 p.m.
12:24
The weather
Saturday is colder than yesterday on Friday, so the balance of power could change. Mercedes usually gets along better in colder conditions. The route temperature is 26 degrees before the 3rd training session. The air temperature is 20 degrees.
12:17
What is possible for Hülkenberg?
Friday was also mixed with Nico Hülkenberg, but the German had only one session to shoot himself on the route. In the 1st training session, he had left his cockpit due to the rookie test rule Paul Aron.
12:10
Dissatisfied
The reigning world champion Max Verstappen seemed visibly depressed after Friday training. The Dutch spoke of a “pretty bad day” and complained that he simply had no balance with his Red Bull. In particular, Verstappen had nothing to do against his competition on the fast round.
12:05
McLaren strong on Friday
McLaren underlined on Friday that you are also the team in Silverstone where you have to go. Lando Norris in particular showed up in the second training session and was two tenths of a second faster than the rest on a fast round. First pursuer seems to be on a quick round of Ferrari. In the racing simulation, however, the Ferrari team was only the fourth force.
