A fire broke out in the Silverstone media centre minutes before the start of First Practice at the British Grand Prix. Ted Kravitz has warned Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will enjoy "big ticket upgrades" at the British Grand Prix.

Alpine is keen to re-sign Alonso and an extension is expected to happen, but a complication for the team is it knows it could risk losing the highly rated Piastri long-term if it does not find a seat for him.

Max Verstappen led a Red Bull 1-2 in the final practice session for the British Grand Prix, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc settling for third.

Perez was the first of the Red Bulls to set a representative lap, splitting the Ferrari pair with a 1m29.629s, 0.17s behind Leclerc.

The McLarens of Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris were next to put in quick times, trading the top spot, before Leclerc took the lead with a 1m29.452s – the first sub-1m30 time of the weekend. Sainz was next to put in a flying lap but settled for second, reporting struggles in high speed sections of the track. Alpine’s Fernando Alonso was the first to get a time on the board, with a 1m34.826s, before team-mate Esteban Ocon demoted him, going 1.8s quicker on his first attempt. Verstappen topped the timesheet on his first flying lap, 20 minutes into running, setting a 1m28.541s to demote a then-leading Leclerc.

Carlos Sainz shines in Silverstone deluge to take British F1 GP pole (The Guardian)

Carlos Sainz claimed the first pole of his career at the British Grand Prix with a superb lap at Silverstone in extremely tricky wet conditions.

Verstappen took the championship lead in Spain and extended it further with wins in Baku and Canada, while Ferrari suffered reliability problems. He followed it with repeated quicker laps as he and Leclerc exchanged the lead in a thrilling fight. Carlos Sainz claimed the first pole of his career at the British Grand Prix with a superb lap at Silverstone in extremely tricky wet conditions. Heavy rain had begun just before qualifying began and intensified as the session continued but Sainz delivered a superlative run under the looming grey clouds at Silverstone in the first wet running all weekend. It has been some time coming with this his 151st grand prix and he was understandably delighted at having finally broken his duck. Verstappen looked to have the early advantage pushing so hard on an early lap that he spun in the final sector, just holding the car on track but it looked to be a fine sighting run.

Nicholas Latifi was delighted to make it through to Q3 for the first time, but he did not set a representative time in the final segment and so finished 10th and last of the shootout runners. Verstappen had led the way through Q1 and Q2 and appeared to be on course to complete a clean sweep as he also topped the times ahead of the final runs in the final segment.

Verstappen, who was briefly booed by a section of the crowd, said: “It was tricky -- raining and drying, so you had to be on the track at the right time. “I was struggling a lot with the standing water. To the delight of the massed ranks of British fans, Russell was on top, before Verstappen emerged to demonstrate his current supremacy in all conditions. The car was working well, but it was a bit of a lottery.” “I put together a lap that I thought was nothing special, but it was on the board to see how it was -- and it was pole position which came as a bit of a surprise!” said Sainz. After promising to fight for the front row, it was a disappointment for the local fans as Hamilton failed to extend his run of eight British front row starts.

Carlos Sainz won his first F1 pole position by qualifying first for the British Grand Prix ahead of Max Verstappen, who was booed by the Silverstone crowd.

“First pole position, it’s always special, and especially to do it in Silverstone in the wet,” Sainz said. It was the seventh pole in 10 races for Ferrari this season, though Sainz teammate Charles Leclerc had earned the first six poles prior to Sainz’s surprise run. Weekend is not over, but I’m ready for tomorrow and we’ll fight for the win. Sunday’s race is expected to be largely dry after a rainy qualifying session. For me, it’s not going to change anything,” Verstappen said. The Dutchman said he barely could hear his on-track interview questions over the jeers.

It leaves him eight places behind his teammate and with a lot of work to do to score points. “I think what you saw was you had to build the temperature up in the tyres. And maybe some of them are feeling the pain from last year still.” It wasn’t a pole borne of pure pace — even the Spaniard was surprised to hear his “nothing special” lap was quick enough for top spot — but rather one based on good, clean, tidy laps. “I don’t think we need to do that. “If they want to boo me, they can do that. They all have their own opinions and I don’t care.” The Silver Arrows were up and about on Friday night after practice. “I think if you looked at our long-run on Friday … we looked pretty decent. And Lewis Hamilton had more to be unhappy about than just his lacklustre car. It’s the latest sign of Sainz forcing himself back into the frontrunning conversation after being dominated by teammate Charles Leclerc on Saturdays and Sundays all season. Unfortunately Mercedes can’t say the same about its pre-weekend optimism for a validating grand prix.

Unfortunately, I did the mistake in that last lap in Q3, where I knew it was the lap I had to put together and I just didn’t do a good enough job. But then you arrive to Formula 1, you think you're the best in the rain, and then you suddenly find yourself with the likes of Max, Charles, Lewis, what to say about Lewis, and other drivers that are very, very, very good in the wet and it's super difficult to make a difference or make one tenth of a difference. Of course, a shame to miss a pole position but I also know that tomorrow are the points and that's what I like on a Sunday, to go racing, and especially when you have a good feeling with the car. I think it was Portimão, and it felt great, so that's a target, to do it again. I knew it was the lap where I had to put everything together and I didn't as a driver, so I didn't deserve to be on pole. If I look back to FP2 the pace was there and I was feeling at home with a car and I'm pushing well on the tyres. And it's so tight all the time, every single qualifying or in the race, like last time, so I hope we can all have a fun race. I kept it cool through the session and then towards the end, I decided to push for a couple of laps and put a decent lap on the board. But towards the end, those last two laps, they started to switch on and I managed to put a couple of laps that were decent, but it was a big challenge. it was nothing special but I just put it on the board and see how it how it is and it was pole position which came as a bit of a surprise. The pace has been there all weekend, except for FP3 where we had some issues that we think we have corrected them for Quali, but if I base myself on my FP2 pace then we should be in a good position to try and hold on to it. And yeah, it was a good lap, but I was struggling a lot with the standing water.

Autosport writers' favourite F1 British Grands Prix (autosport.com)

The British Grand Prix is always one of the highlights on the Formula 1 calendar, with Sunday's event potentially offering a three-way fight at the front ...

It wasn't a secret that Ferrucci and Maini couldn't stand each other, and I have a never-used audio of a Trident "team-talk" feature I did with the two somewhere on file. To the delight of the fans and aspiring Autosport writers watching at home, he nailed Kimi Raikkonen and Mark Webber off the line to challenge Kovalainen into Copse and stuck on his six before passing into Stowe on lap five. It's a difficult listen, and I cut the interview short as the atmosphere in the team's truck was horrific. Thus began a phenomenal duel between the red and silver machines in the summer sun, with Vettel getting past the Finnish driver with six laps remaining to cement victory - as Bottas dropped behind the battling Hamilton and Raikkonen by the end. On a day when many struggled to keep the car pointing in a straight line, including chief championship rival Felipe Massa who spun no fewer than five times, after the first round of pitstops no one saw Hamilton again. A bit like the disappointed Coulthard on the podium, the pain of defeat was nothing compared to what Herbert had been through to get to his moment of glory. Hamilton entered his home race in poor form, including his Canada pitlane gaffe and penalty in France that left him fourth in the points. Raikkonen was the driver on the move at the restart though, immediately passing Trulli and team-mate David Coulthard before inheriting the lead once Da Matta had pitted. But Raikkonen’s latest Mercedes engine failure in practice and the resulting 10-place grid penalty presented Montoya with an opportunity to challenge Alonso at the start. But it should also be remembered for the scintillating performance by Rubens Barrichello, who stormed to victory after hunting down and passing Kimi Raikkonen for the race lead. Herbert stroked it home for his first F1 victory at the 74th attempt, and while the Silverstone faithful were upset about Hill’s misfortune, they cheered the Benetton driver to the hilt. With 10 laps to go the gap was 7.5s, five laps later it was 1.7s.

Max Verstappen, who leads the F1 world championship comfortably going into the race, will start second ahead of Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez. A Red Bull has won all but two of the nine races so far. Into Copse he has a look around the outside and down the Hangar Straight, with DRS not yet enabled, Perez is the man under pressure. Leclerc is next in his crosshairs but Hamilton is now back on the pace after a difficult restart. Through Copse again it is Perez with the pace and his DRS opens a door down the inside and their scuffle lets Hamilton through!

F1 British Grand Prix: Carlos Sainz leads after race delayed by crash ... (The Guardian)

Join Alex Hess for updates from Silverstone, where the race is restarting an hour late after a major crash on turn one.

And Bernie Eccleston says he would “take a bullet” for Putin, that the war in Ukraine is “unintentional” and that Hamilton could have “brushed aside” Piquet’s remarks. And the drivers head off for the formation lap. Among the spectators at Silverstone is Tom Cruise. I’m sure he’d agree that there are a few good men on the grid today but Verstappen – a driver without limits – is far and away the favourite. Lap 1/52: We’re under way – and the cars have barely left the grid before we see a huge crash. An official statement has said: “The FIA advises that following the start of the race, emergency crews were immediately in attendance and the drivers of Car 23 (Albon) and Car 24 (Zhou) have been taken to the medical centre. Controversially, it looks like the drivers will restart in grid order, which puts Verstappen – who had moved past Sainz in the early moments – back to second and Hamilton, who was third when the red flag came out, back to fifth. Lap 1/52: Albon is also out, while Tsunoda and Ocon look to have damage. Lap 6/52: Leclerc is doing his best to hunt down Verstappen, the gap between them a tight half a second. These people were immediately removed and the matter is now being dealt with by the local authorities.” Lap 14/52: And it looks like the issue with Verstappen’s car hasn’t been entirely fixed. Verstappen trundles into the pits and emerges in sixth. Lap 17/52: So then, we have the two Ferrari drivers in first and second, with Leclerc not happy about being stuck behind his teammate.

Red flag: The race will restart at 15:56 local time so in just under ten minutes time. It's likely to be a standing start.

Elsewhere, British driver Lewis Hamilton claimed just his second podium finish of the season last time out as Mercedes begin to improve on their early season race pace. You can also stream Formula 1 races live in the U.S. with fuboTV, which offers a free trial. That'll be music to the ears of Max Verstappen in particular who looked lightning quick in practice 3 yesterday as he looks to steal a further march on his championship rivals this afternoon. Before that though, we've been treated by birthday boy Sebastian Vettel who has been running around the famous Silverstone track in a 1992 Williams car which he actually owns. He's closely followed by a few others as the Red Arrows fly overhead much to the capacity crowd's excitement! He's definitely one to keep an eye on here! It looks like Russell, Zhou Guangyu, Tsunoda, Ocon and Albon are all involved. We've seen no replays yet of the incident. His car rolled across the gravel before it flipped up over the barriers and hit the catch fencing. That incident has now been dealt with by the local authorities. Red flag: The race will restart at 15:56 local time so in just under ten minutes time. That'll be a tough one to swallow for Sainz.

Verstappen is dating Piquet’s daughter, Kelly, and faced criticism from fans when he said Piquet was not a racist despite using “very offensive” language. F1 said they were being “dealt with by the local authorities.” “I gave it everything,” said Hamilton, who was third in Canada two weeks ago and hoped Mercedes is on a comeback. Zhou’s car flipped upside-down and cleared a tire barrier before smashing into a fence. But a safety car came out and Ferrari brought Sainz into the pits for fresher, grippier soft tires. It began with a frightening first-lap crash and ended with intense wheel-to-wheel battles for the podium positions.

British GP: Sainz scores maiden F1 win in action-packed race (Motorsport.com, Edition: Global)

Carlos Sainz won a thrilling British Grand Prix ahead of Sergio Perez in a Formula 1 race disrupted by a horrifying first corner crash, protesters and a ...

The Haas driver had a look to the inside of Stowe with a couple of laps remaining and then nearly hit Verstappen with a bold move at the first part of Club on the final tour before backing out of certain contact at the final corner just a few moments later. Gasly was able to carry on relatively unscathed. Ocon stopped before Copse and the safety car was therefore called out, with Ferrari leaving Leclerc out on his aging hards despite appearing to have time to call him in, as it did for Sainz and Mercedes did for Hamilton. With Ferrari opting to leave things alone, Hamilton was soon homing in on the pair and was just under four seconds behind when Sainz was called in to ease Ferrari's quandary at the end of lap 20 to take the hards. After this, Leclerc edged clear to lead by just under a second, but was matching Hamilton's times up front and so on lap 33 the Briton was called in to make his switch to the hards, but a getting his used left-front medium off took slightly longer than normal and so it ended up being a 4.3s stop that meant he came out behind the two red cars. Verstappen quickly shot to a lead above one second, but his lead only lasted two laps as he was then slow through Maggotts and Becketts with what he suspected was a puncture picked up after running over the kerbs at Copse on lap 12, but which Red Bull later explained was damage to a small winglet at the rear of his car. Verstappen immediately pitted for another set of mediums, Sainz having already moved back to the lead and Leclerc threatening, with Hamilton not far behind after he had dispatched Norris into Brooklands on the lap after Perez stopped early on. That would soon mean Perez had to pit for a new wing, which released the battling Hamilton and Lando Norris, while up front Sainz had established a lead over a second by the time the DRS was activated on lap five of 52. There, with Leclerc obliged by Verstappen to take the outside line, the pair clashed lightly and the Ferrari had to take to the runoff before his right-front wing endplate, which was damaged in the earlier contact with Perez, flying off on the run to Copse and hitting the second Red Bull's front wing right-side and causing similar harm. But Leclerc sent a bold move to Perez's inside at Turn 4 and was able to force his way back to third, with the Monegasque driver then getting such good drive onto the Wellington straight he was able to attack Verstappen at Brooklands. But with Verstappen not backing down, Sainz was forced to hang on around the outside of Abbey but did so to thrillingly retain the lead, with Leclerc again making a slow getaway behind the two leaders, this time with Perez getting by off the line. As Leclerc was making an attempt to get back ahead of the Mercedes through Village and the Loop a couple of corners later, the race was red-flagged due to the multi-car pile-up behind the leaders at Abbey.

F1 Grand Prix race results: Sainz wins wild British GP (autosport.com)

Carlos Sainz won a thrilling British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday, overcoming his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc to score his first Formula 1 win.

The race was decided with a frantic 10-lap dash to the finish. Hamilton finally made the move for third stick into Stowe using DRS. Ferrari swapped its cars over on lap 31, with minimal protest from Sainz as he couldn’t hit the target laptime being asked of him. In a wild restart, Sainz passed Leclerc for the win, with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez surging up to second, ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes after some amazingly close racing. Meantime, Tsunoda spun into his team-mate Gasly at Village, relegating both AlphaTauris from the points and getting himself a penalty. The shunt was triggered when Pierre Gasly’s AlphaTauri was pinched between Zhou and George Russell (Mercedes), the latter spinning into Zhou’s right-rear tyre and sending him flying.

Pérez fought with Leclerc and Hamilton brilliantly ducked up the inside of the pair of them on the final corner but could not hold the place as they came back at him at Village and he dropped once more to fourth. Hamilton had pushed hard and pitted on lap 34, the stop was slow – four seconds – and he emerged in third behind Sainz and six seconds off Leclerc. However Verstappen then slowed and believed he had a puncture as Sainz re-passed again through Stowe and the Dutchman had to pit for new rubber. That Zhou was relatively unharmed was a testament to the safety standards of the modern cars. The race was almost immediately stopped after a multi-car shunt involved Zhou’s Alfa Romeo suffering a high-speed impact with the barriers, in which his car was flipped and came to a halt between the armco barrier and the catch fencing and it took time to extract him. It was Sainz’s first F1 win on the occasion of his 150th race and could not have been a more gripping affair.

Shock McLaren call seals Dan disaster as Ferrari blunder hands Max big boost: Talking Points.

Instead the safety car neutralised strategy and left him in the thick of a thrilling but time-consuming battle that allowed victory to skip away from him. His car couldn’t be restarted, and the regulations allow only those cars to have made it back to pit lane unaided to take the restart. The Australian had a painful day — indeed weekend — at the Silverstone this year. Most drivers switched to fresh rubber during the caution, but McLaren wasn’t sure it wasted to sacrifice track position so late in the race — until it did, one lap later. Haas had a shocking qualifying afternoon, with Schumacher lining up 19th ahead of only Lance Stroll, but in race trim both cars were unstoppable in their methodical process through the pack. His car, however, was far less fortunate, and one look at the wreckage made clear that his life had been saved by the halo. The British Grand Prix didn’t seem like an obvious place for him to check that box. Instead it dithered, and if the championship really is still alive, this will eb one of afternoons we may come to reflect on later in the year. Only the halo prevented what would have been a clearly devastating outcome. In fact it was only earlier on Sunday during the Formula 2 feature race that Dennis Hauger’s Prema car was launched directly into the cockpit of Roy Nissany’s DAMS machine. It chose Sainz, leaving Leclerc out on old hards for the restart. But more than that, Sainz had to go out and get this one.

Fans at Silverstone watched the Ferrari driver hold onto his victory as a three-way battle ensued behind him late in the incident-packed grand prix.

And there’s no doubt we had the pace to come back to P6 today.” After barrel-rolling over the barrier, Zhou was stuck between the metal fence and tire barriers, a narrow gap with nowhere to go. The rookie and Williams driver Alex Albon, who was involved in a separate wreck, were both sent to the medical care center. “I don’t want the focus to be pointed towards my disappointing race but more towards his incredible race win and obviously a first win in Formula 1 is always extremely special. Pierre Gasly was between Russell and Zhou, but as the gap started to disappear, the AlphaTauri driver pulled back. Sainz was brought in for softs, and Leclerc commented over the radio how it would be “hard” to chase cars on soft tires in the closing stages. Binotto felt that the team’s strategy calls were “the right and proper ones at each single time,” and the only possible miscue was Leclerc staying out. “I’ve always been a team player, I will always be a team player and especially in Ferrari, I know the team is in front of me and my personal interests. “I gave myself the best chance to stay ahead, by pushing as much as I could, but to a point that I was destroying so much my front tire that it made total sense for Charles to go through, and I let him by as soon as the team told me to do so,” Sainz said. “Then we were hoping for more tire degradation on the softs, to give Charles, yeah, maybe a difficult three or four laps initially but then recovering later on, but the soft didn’t degrade as we were hoping.” Leclerc, who was the race leader, remained out on his hard tires—the only driver to still have them on when the rest of the field emerged. “I needed to stay in the race like I was trying to and then all of a sudden the safety car gave me the opportunity to get back on it.

F1 – Sainz takes first win in thrilling, incident-packed British Grand ... (FIA)

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz scored his maiden grand prix at the end of a thrilling, incident-packed 2022 FIA Formula 1 British Grand Prix disrupted by red flags ...

Ferrari’s solution was to pit Sainz at the end of lap 20 to cover Hamilton and to give Leclerc a chance to outpace Hamilton. Sainz took on hard tyres and rejoined in P3. Ahead Leclerc briefly went off track and Sainz pounced to once again take the lead. Further back, on lap 35, Norris made a pit stop for hard tyres and that handed fourth place to Pérez, though the Mexican would need another stop. The Safety Car also played into Pérez’s hands as he got a free stop, took on soft tyres and kept hold of fourth place. But the Mercedes driver’s stop was a slow four seconds and he emerged behind Sainz in third place. On lap 10 Sainz found himself just eight tenths of a second ahead of Verstappen and was reporting that the Red Bull was quicker. On lap 12, though, Verstappen suddenly slowed on the Hangar straight and Sainz and Leclerc swept past. On lap 30 Hamilton had 19 seconds in hand over Leclerc and the pit window was wide open. He rejoined at the back of the field in P17 and his pit stop freed Hamilton into fourth place ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris. Unsighted, Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel hit the back of Albon’s car and the Thai driver was sent into the wall on the right side of the pit straight. When the lights went out at the start, polesitter Sainz, on medium tyres, got away well, but Verstappen, on soft tyres, was quicker off the line and passed he passed the Spaniard as they headed towards Turn 1. And when the lights went out for the second time, Verstappen immediately put pressure on Sainz, but the Spaniard held the lead as they emerged from Turn 1.
