F1 British Grand Prix LIVE: Qualifying schedule, times, updates and results at wet Silverstone

Formula One returns to the home of British motor racing this weekend as Silverstone hosts the British Grand Prix .

George Russell was a shock winner last time out in Austria as the Mercedes driver capitalised on a collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris late on in the race. Norris was fuming with Verstappen afterwards , setting their rivalry up nicely for Norris’ home race this weekend.

Verstappen leads the world championship by 81 points to Norris going into the British GP, a race he won last year. Russell, despite his victory, is still down in seventh.

Lewis Hamilton is an eight-time winner at Silverstone and has finished on the podium in the last two years. Having not won since December 2021 , the seven-time F1 world champion would love nothing more than to return to the top of the podium in front of a crowd who adore him.
