Silverstone es una pista rápida, pero también muy compleja y con una superficie bastante abrasiva.
En el año 2010 se modificó el trazado, ampliándose en casi 800m., siendo nueva toda la zona interior comprendida entre las curvas 11 y 16. Con sus 5,9 kilometros, se convierte en la tercera pista más larga del calendario, y con la nueva configuración, se convierte en una de las pistas más rápidas del año.
Presenta una serie de curvas muy rápidas, especialmente las de Becketts, Maggotts, Chapel y Hangar Straigt. Se trata de unas zonas donde el piloto debe escoger muy bien el sitio para trazar la línea correcta y poder lograr buenos tiempos. Este es el sector más importante del circuito, donde el coche requiere una mayor carga aerodinámica y hacia el que va dirigida la puesta a punto.
Las altas velocidades y altas fuerzas laterales causadas por el trazado del circuito, junto a lo abrasivo de la superficie de la pista, significa que será una dura prueba para los neumáticos Pirelli. La pista ya era anteriormente una de las más duras para los neumáticos, y este nuevo trazado la convierte en aún más dura para las ruedas.La nueva recta significa que la velocidad media será aún mayor que con el anterior y tradicional trazado.Entrando en la nueva sección, la nueva curva a derechas en Abbey, sin duda genera altas fuerzas laterales.
Los cálculos sugieren que la velocidad media se mantendrá relativamente estable, y de hecho, el circuito, aún siendo rápido, es un poco menos "circuito de motor" de lo que solía ser. La potencia del motor será algo menos importante, debido a los tramos rápidos, pero sobre todo a las curvas de alta velocidad que caracterizan a este circuito.
Silverstone no puede considerarse un circuito duro para los motores puesto que los coches tan solo aceleran al máximo el 60% del tiempo de carrera. Pero dadas las características especiales de este circuito, el coche no puede presentar debilidad alguna en ningún aspecto. Y es que Silverstone además tiene un tiempo de lo más voluble, y fácilmente mojado.
También es el circuito más cercano a las casas de los equipos Aston Martin, Alpine, McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull y Williams, por lo que muchos corren "en casa".
En el año 2020 Silverstone repitió GP, debido a la falta de pistas en las que poder albergar eventos de GP por la pandemia de covid19. El primer evento fué el propio GP de Gran Bretaña, y al segundo se le denominó GP del 70º Aniversario de la F1.

British GP: Preview - Haas
Haas F1 Team's 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season will continue with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit.
Silverstone is where the journey began for the Formula 1 World Championship, when the converted wartime airfield on the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire border hosted the inaugural event on May 13, 1950. Formula 1's British Grand Prix has been on the calendar every season and since 1987 it has been held at Silverstone. The majority of the layout remains traceable to the version initially utilized in 1950, though the circuit has evolved to keep pace with modern standards.
Silverstone is renowned for its fast and flowing layout that provides a stiff test for teams and drivers. Phenomenally fast turns such as Abbey, Copse and the Maggotts/Becketts complex require inch-perfect driving while these high-energy corners also place an extreme stress on tires, particularly the front-left on a clockwise layout. Silverstone has been the scene of countless iconic moments throughout Formula 1 history, with shock moments, surprise victors and scintillating side-by-side racing. The traditional British summer can also have an influence on proceedings and provide opportunities.
Haas F1 Team drivers Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher have both racked up substantial experience at Silverstone. Magnussen has participated in seven Formula 1 events at Silverstone, recording a high of seventh in 2014, while Schumacher made his British Grand Prix debut in 2021 following previous visits in Formula 2 and Formula 3.
One positive from the Canadian Grand Prix weekend was that on Saturday during qualifying, the car exceeded expectations with Mick and Kevin clearly having confidence in the VF-22 to equal the teams' best-ever qualifying result. What did you make of the performance?
Guenther Steiner: "Saturday was a fantastic day for the whole team as everything was executed well - it's never perfection until you're P1 and P2 - but for where we are, to have the best qualifying result after quite a few difficult weekends, is very good. It was executed by the whole team - drivers, engineers, mechanics - fantastically. It was a very good day."
Does the team understand why the VF-22 performs so well in wet conditions - as we've seen a couple of times this season already, notably at Imola and Montreal?
GS: "I would say the car in general is pretty good. Where we struggle most is on high-speed circuits, low-downforce and when it rains, even on a high-speed circuit, it's not as important as when it's dry. I think we just executed it well. The car goes pretty well, and we've got two good drivers, so I don't think we have any big secret about the car going quick in the wet."
We head to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix next, a fan-favorite on the calendar. It marks the home event for many team members and will be the first time the Haas 'Family Day' has been held since 2019, where drivers can spend time with the team and their families away from track. How important is it to you to host such events given the hectic non-stop nature of the Formula 1 calendar and the demands placed on team personnel?
GS: "It's very good that once again we can do our family event. We haven't had anything since COVID hit in 2020. We were planning our Christmas event but last year we had to cancel it at very short notice because there was a surge in cases in December 2021, so I'm very happy that we can finally have the families around with the team just to enjoy a good time. It is very important because a lot of the team is travelling a lot and it's good that the whole company can show their family what they're doing and why they're working so hard and why they're not always at home like a lot of parents who come home after an 8-5 day. I really look forward to seeing all the family members as there is a record attendance planned."
We're set for four races in July ahead of the mandatory FIA summer-break in August. Is it beneficial to have that intensity of racing to keep both the drivers and the team focused ahead of the break?
GS: "It's not about keeping the focus but because we have 22 events, we need to get them in at some stage and I think having them bunched up before the break is better than after the break. It will be pretty intense but hopefully we'll get some good results so hopefully the intensity won't be as bad as when you have not-so-good results. I'm sure the team will be tired after the four but then we have a few weeks to recharge our batteries."
Round 10 takes many of the Haas F1 Team home for the British Grand Prix, held around the historic Silverstone circuit. It's an event steeped in history, so what does it feel like for you to return to what many fondly refer to as the home of motorsport?
Kevin Magnussen: "It feels good. It's the home race of Formula 1 in many ways, it's a very traditional race and it's an awesome track as well. The circuit is of course a classic so it's always great to go there and I'm looking forward to it again."
Take us through a lap of the Silverstone circuit and can you predict how these new Formula 1 cars will behave around high-speed corners like Maggotts, Becketts and Abbey?
KM: "These cars are a little bit slower but it's still going to be fast. They're stiff so kerb riding at Maggotts and Becketts might be a little bit different. That's going to make it more challenging I would say, as the cars are stiff and very low to the ground, but Silverstone is still going to be a great circuit to drive."
The British Grand Prix kicks off a run of four races in the month of July - how hard is that going to be on drivers and team personnel, and do you have one eye on the summer shutdown at this stage of the season?
KM: "It's going to be a hard month for the team - especially the mechanics. For drivers, it's a walk in the park so it's not something that I'm dreading at all, I'm actually looking forward to it. If you have a bad race, you go straight into the next one and also because they're in Europe, it just feels so much easier. You can travel to the race on Thursday morning and for a lot of people they're home on Sunday night. It feels easier than having two races in Asia in one month let's say."
Round 10 takes many of the Haas F1 Team home for the British Grand Prix, held around the historic Silverstone circuit. It's an event steeped in history, so what does it feel like for you to return to what many fondly refer to as the home of motorsport?
Mick Schumacher: "It's great for the team as it also marks the week where all their families come to visit which is something I'm looking forward to as we didn't get the chance last year because of COVID. I will get to meet every single family which is going to be nice. Silverstone has some good and bad memories for me but it always treated me well so I'm excited to go there and it marks the start of all the European races that are coming, which is nice as it means we all have a bit more time without so many flyaways."
With it being one of Haas F1 team's many 'home races', it brings about a lot more activities - including partner commitments, filming days and the return to the team's annual 'family day' - the first since COVID. With all of these extras, does the British Grand Prix feel different to other races, and what's it like to meet the families of those who you get to work so closely with over the season?
MS: "I don't think it will feel like a different type of race weekend but it means it's a different set-up to a race weekend. It doesn't change the fact that we're racing or the approach that I take, but it means that I get to meet some great people and their families so I'm looking forward to it."
Take us through a lap of the Silverstone circuit and can you predict how these new Formula 1 cars will behave around high-speed corners like Maggotts, Becketts and Abbey?
MS: "These new cars are known for getting an increase in downforce, the quicker they go so that means usually that the quicker corners should behave a bit differently compared to last year. Therefore, that section with Maggotts and Becketts I'm sure will be quite fascinating to drive in these new cars. If it will be quicker, I don't know just because of the added weight of these cars, but nonetheless I'm sure it's going to be fun and the bouncing and porpoising won't be as effective as in Baku."
The British Grand Prix kicks off a run of four races in the month of July - how hard is that going to be on drivers and team personnel, and do you have one eye on the summer shutdown at this stage of the season?
MS: "It will definitely be very tough. We know anyway how tough a race weekend is and that just means we're going to have a lot of them. For the team and everybody it's consuming, so it's a matter of putting in those moments of extra effort when necessary but also shut off if that helps so you don't run out of energy, because it's a long season to go. Also, in July we have some other cool events lined-up including the SVAG CS Classic reigning show at my family's ranch in Givrins."

Lando Norris: "I'm so excited to be heading back to my home race at Silverstone. Seeing the British fans and all the papaya as we drive round the track is always so motivating and such a boost for the team - nothing beats a home crowd. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in the fan zone and soaking up the atmosphere.
"We've been working hard on our performance since the last race in Canada and working as a team to understand what we need to do better. We've got a good understanding of that now, and although we know there are no overnight fixes, we'll be doing everything we can to give the home fans something to cheer about."
Daniel Ricciardo: "The British Grand Prix... let's go! It's a home race for the team and that means we'll definitely feel the support in the grandstands. There was a sea of papaya last year, so I'm excited to head there again this year. It's the race where I made my F1 debut, so it holds a special place in my heart anyway, but it's also a great circuit to race on too, so I can't wait to get out on track.
"Canada was a difficult one, but we have to learn from it and keep moving forward. Silverstone offers some good overtaking opportunities, so it will be fun to see what we can do in these new regulation cars. I'm excited to get on track and hopefully get back up the pointy end for our home crowd – we have awesome fans so we will do everything we can to deliver for them."
Andreas Seidl, Team Principal: "There is nothing better than a home race and the whole team is looking forward to seeing the papaya fans among the sell-out crowd. Of course, as well as being a home race for the team, Silverstone also marks Lando's home Grand Prix, which means we really feel the support from the grandstands. Plenty of our own team will also be at the race, seeing their hard work in action.
"It's been good to spend some time away from track since Canada. Since then, we've reviewed the weekend, know where we need to improve, and we're now putting our full focus on the weekend ahead of us.
"The track itself is a fast one. Some of its iconic features such as Maggots & Becketts are a challenge for any driver so it will certainly be an exciting one for the fans. Logistically it's a nicer one for the team as it's a shorter journey to the circuit compared to usual - certainly a perk of a home race. Let's keep going and keep pushing forward, see you soon British fans."

Pierre Gasly: "I'm looking forward to this weekend at Silverstone for many reasons, including the fact I know I can now look ahead to a further 18 months with this team. I'm pleased it's been confirmed early, so we now have time to plan a strategy of how to build and develop next year's car. We already know we can perform well together, so I am convinced that if we work well over the rest of this season and develop well, there is no reason why we can't have an excellent 2023 season.
"For me personally, my goal is to help this team get to the top.
Compared to when I first came here in 2017, we now have a lot more experience of working together, we all know and understand one another very well across the team, both in Faenza and Bicester. We work efficiently together, based on our past history and many seasons racing together. I have big ambitions for myself, and I always give my maximum to get the best results for the team. I will continue to push to get the best ever season this team has had next year.
"As for Silverstone this weekend, it's a circuit I appreciate a lot, it's very fast and you get an incredible feeling from the car in some sections, particularly Maggotts and Becketts. But we will have to see how we get on, because being honest when assessing our car, we know we lack a bit of aero and we can expect to have to deal with a weekend that might not be straightforward for us. We will still be doing everything we can to get the most out of the package we have right now, while waiting for some upgrades that will be arriving soon. For now, we must be ready to seize whatever opportunities come our way, even if on paper, Silverstone will be tricky for us. It's a home race for Red Bull Racing and, in a way, also for us as our aero department and wind tunnel are based not far from the track. The atmosphere is quite special here and I'm looking forward to an interesting weekend."
Yuki Tsunoda: "Looking back at the last round, I enjoyed my first visit to Canada, I liked what I saw of the country and the city of Montreal. However, on the track we had another quite difficult weekend. The pace was there, and I was quite happy with my performance, which I felt was better than the previous Grand Prix in Azerbaijan, but of course I had to take an engine penalty. So, I knew from the offset it was going to be a difficult race, but it was going well until unfortunately it ended in the barrier, which I'm very disappointed about, but it is what it is and I just have to consider it as another learning experience. In addition, I now know the Montreal track, which I had never driven before.
"This past week has been quite busy, firstly I concentrated on my physical training in Faenza, which is extremely important with such a busy schedule and then I headed to San Marino on Sunday for the Red Bull SoapBox race. I've never been to anything like that before, it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed getting to judge all the different entries - the team even had a SoapBox design that looked like my helmet! After handing out the winning trophy, I headed to the UK to the simulator, where I've concentrated on Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring. I know Silverstone well, as I first raced here in 2019 in Formula 3, finishing in the points in one race. The next year, we had four races in Formula 2 over two weekends and I came third in the first Feature Race and won the second Sprint Race. Then last year I scored a point for tenth place, and I remember there was such a great atmosphere as there was a really big crowd. I feel this is a track where I can do well.
"I'm looking forward to driving this high-speed, old-school track in these new cars. In terms of speed, the new cars will be a bit slower than last year but will produce similar lap times to what we saw in the past. Based on what we saw in Azerbaijan, it might be a little bit easier to overtake at Silverstone this year than in the past. Our aim as usual is to try and make it to Q3 on Saturday and score points, I think it could be a difficult race for our current package but if we have a smooth time in free practice that will help."

Lance Stroll: "After the outliers of Monaco, Baku and Canada, I am looking forward to seeing how the AMR22 will perform around Silverstone. We've been finding performance at each race as we learn more and more about the car and we are really making progress. The midfield is incredibly tight right now, so it would be great if we could take another step forward this weekend. The British Grand Prix is a huge event for the whole team and I am really looking forward to driving in front of the fantastic Silverstone crowds."
Sebastian Vettel: "I have enjoyed many race weekends at Silverstone, and I am always struck by the enthusiasm and appreciation that the British crowd shows to the teams and drivers. It is such a fantastic event. The mix of corners should give us a better understanding of some of the key performance characteristics of these 2022 cars and should also help us to further improve and refine our understanding of the AMR22. The Silverstone weekend is always pretty intense, but I hope we can have some fun and score some solid points in front of our home crowd."
Insight and Speed
• Tyres: Despite Pirelli bringing compounds two steps harder than the previous three events, the high degradation expected means that long stints on the Hard compound are likely. Recent races have often been completed using a one- or two-stop strategy.
• Overtaking: Cars of similar pace tend to end up in DRS trains around Silverstone, with 63% of overtakes assisted by the device. High-speed corner entries and windy conditions further add to the difficulty of passing - although particular attention will be paid to whether ground-effect can improve the situation this year.
• Safety Cars: Silverstone has a high rate of Safety Car deployment, with each British GP featuring at least one since 2014. The timing of these could play a crucial role in the strategy of the race - especially with such a relatively long lap. Virtual Safety Cars are rare, however: just one has been used since its introduction in 2015.

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: The British Grand Prix is one of the highlights on the Formula One calendar, as well as being a traditional part of the British sporting summer. The Silverstone track is largely unchanged from last year and still presents a huge challenge for the cars, tyres and drivers. The track is characterised by its high-speed corners and regular short straights, and the exposed Silverstone site means that the wind can have a dramatic and often unpredictable effect on the cars.
We have an updated aero package for this weekend, which will run on Alex's car only as we look to check its behaviour and confirm that it is working as intended. The bodywork and floor form the basis of the upgrade and are intended to efficiently increase the downforce of the car.
We are looking forward to our home race and to understanding the new parts; they are likely to change the balance and the handling of the car and it may take a little bit of time to harness them so that the drivers can get the most from them. With next week's race in Austria being a Sprint Event, we will be looking to get as much learning done this weekend as possible.
Nicholas Latifi: I'm very excited to be heading to Silverstone. It's the team's home race so it's going to be a special weekend in that regard. Silverstone is an incredible circuit, especially with the huge turnout from the fans and the atmosphere they create. It's always been one of my favourite tracks on the F1 calendar with the high grippy tarmac, high speed and flowing nature of the circuit. I can't wait to hit the track and hopefully we'll have a solid weekend.
Alex Albon: Silverstone is a home race for the team and half for me too! It's a special circuit made better by all the fans who come out to show their support. Silverstone is also where I first got my karting licence at 8 years old, so it's really where it all began for me. It has to be one of the most enjoyable circuits for a driver and I think it'll be pretty fun in these cars.

British GP: Preview - Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN returns to Silverstone, the venue of the first-ever Formula One championship race, for the British Grand Prix. On the hallowed ground where Alfa Romeo triumphed in 1950, Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will be looking to write another glorious page of the marque's history this weekend.
The team returns to action after a week off, but still carried by the enthusiasm following the good performance in Canada. Getting two cars in the points in Montreal was a boost - for the team's confidence, for our drivers and for the championship standings - and the team hopes to repeat this feat in Silverstone.
A successful day in Northamptonshire would suit the Alfa Romeo brand, the Italian marque having an indissoluble bond with the British circuit. Here, in that fateful first race in 1950, Alfa cars came home in first, second and third, courtesy of Nino Farina, Luigi Fagioli and Reg Parnell: it was the start of a cavalcade that would see Farina crowned World Champion at the end of the year and the team claim a victory in every race it contested.
It's been a great couple of weeks for the team: just days after the result in Canada, with the celebrations for the 112th birthday of Alfa Romeo ongoing, Valtteri took to the streets of Milan in an F1 car and Zhou sprinted with the new Alfa Romeo Tonale on the legendary Goodwood hill. There has been plenty to be happy about - but we want to keep going. To bring home a good result in Silverstone, a place that means so much to us, would be the perfect way to honour this great tradition.
Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal: "The result in Canada was a good one, and it is proof of what we can do when we have an issue-free Sunday for both cars. It is a result that still took a lot of hard work and two inspired performances from Valtteri and Zhou, but it's something we can aim to repeat in the next few rounds. We need to keep working hard and not let ourselves be carried away: we know we're locked in a very tight fight and each qualifying and race will be decided on small details. On paper, Silverstone should be a challenging track for us, but we've been able to be in the fight on every circuit so far, so there is no reason we cannot do it here as well. This is a place that means a lot to us, with a lot of history, and it would be great to continue our good run here."
Valtteri Bottas: "Silverstone is a place that needs no introduction: the British Grand Prix is one of the great races in motorsport and you feel the meaning of this event from the moment you step through the circuit gates. The fans here are incredible: there's so many of them, they love the sport and know it so well and there's a true festival atmosphere from Thursday onwards - it's contagious. Of course, once you're in the cockpit, your focus is all on the job at hand and you don't think about anything else, but it's a good boost nonetheless. I am confident we can have a good weekend to continue in the vein of what we did in Montreal: the key for us will be to make the most of every session to fine-tune the car to the characteristics of this track, with its fast corners in which so much time can be gained or lost. If we do a good job setting our car up, we can have a lot of fun this weekend."
Zhou Guanyu: "I'm really looking forward to being back in the car this weekend. The result in Canada was a big confidence boost after a few races in which we weren't able to show our true value, and to bring home my best F1 result so far shows in a concrete way the progress I have made in the nine races since my debut: now I want to continue building on this and to keep bringing points to the team. Driving in Silverstone will be quite special: it's one of the historical tracks in the calendar, one that I've always wanted to drive in an F1 car as it's really a place that gets the best out of these machines. It's also a circuit with some really good memories for me - three podiums in Formula 2, including last year's win in the feature race: I'd love to add some more happy moments this weekend. I think we have all it takes to have another good result but, as always, we will need to execute our weekend perfectly to be ahead of our closest rivals."

British GP: Preview - Ferrari
The Formula 1 World Championship returns to Europe after the back-to-back races in Azerbaijan and Canada, to tackle a series of real classic races, starting with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where the Formula 1 World Championship began 72 years ago. The circuit is based on the layout of three runways at what was once a World War II aerodrome and it has staged the British Grand Prix 55 times. Along with the Italian Grand Prix, it is the only event to have always featured on the calendar. In 2020, Silverstone was also one of two circuits to host two races, one of them being the 70th Anniversary GP.
Over the years, the track has undergone several modifications, going from a somewhat square shaped layout to one incorporating a variety of different corner types, while always remaining a very fast and tricky track. Copse, originally the first corner after the start and the high speed esses made up of the Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel sequence are still firm favourites with all the drivers. The last radical change to the layout came in 2010 when the section after Abbey corner was changed and the start-finish line was moved to after Club corner.
Silverstone is traditionally tough on tyres, with a very abrasive asphalt track surface and several high speed corners that subject the tyres to substantial lateral forces. On top of this, the cars are usually run with a high level of aerodynamic downforce to deal with these quick corners and that all adds to the stress on the tyres, with a risk of wear and overheating. The brakes however are only used for 8% of the lap and are therefore not a cause for much concern. In the corners, the lateral acceleration can get up to 5g, which makes itself felt on the driver's neck.
The race is run over 52 laps of the 5.891 kilometre-long track, equivalent to 306.198 kilometres. There are two DRS zones, between turns 5 and 6 and after 14, down the Hangar Straight.
Three questions to... Ravin Jain, Race Strategist
Describe the characteristics of the Silverstone track?
RJ: "Silverstone is a very technical and high-speed circuit characterised by quick changes of direction, such as the famous Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel sequence of corners which are some of the fastest on the F1 calendar. This fast-flowing nature with a lack of many slow speed corners means it is one of the least demanding circuits for brakes. However, being located in the middle of the English countryside, the track is quite flat with little elevation change but is very open and exposed so the wind often plays a role in affecting the balance of the cars around the lap. The newly resurfaced tarmac is now 3 years old and is smooth with high grip which means drivers can push their cars to the maximum".
From a strategy point of view, with what kind of challenges will the British GP present us?
RJ: "Because of its fast flowing nature, Pirelli have brought their hardest tyres to Silverstone with the C1, C2 and C3 compounds.
Nonetheless, we expect tyre degradation to play an important role in determining how many stops there will be on Sunday. With a unique pit entry that cuts out the last couple of corners, the time lost for a pitstop is quite short and, coupled with two DRS zones, overtaking is possible so we expect to see some different strategies at play on Sunday. The British summer is also famous for some capricious weather, with it not being uncommon to see rain, sunshine and everything in between during a weekend! Teams and strategists have to be on their toes to react to any type of weather".
You're a young British engineer working for an iconic Italian team. What is that like, in general and specifically for this weekend?
RJ: "I am proud to work for Scuderia Ferrari, an iconic Italian team, but also a place where many nationalities work together to represent the Cavallino Rampante all over the world. As a young British engineer, coming back to Silverstone is always special as it is the place that I first saw a Formula 1 car in person many years ago. There is a rich history of British people working for Ferrari: in fact, the first British world champion, Mike Hawthorn, won the crown in 1958 driving for the Scuderia, and I am proud to add my name to that long list of drivers and engineers. And suffice to say that I would be very happy to hear the Italian anthem ring out over the podium come Sunday afternoon!".

British GP: Preview - Alpine
The team is preparing for its first of two home races in Silverstone this weekend, fresh from scoring back-to-back points with both cars across the last two races. Chief Technical Officer Pat Fry reflects on a bittersweet Canadian Grand Prix - which featured the team's first front row grid start since 2010 - and reveals a big upgrade for the upcoming British Grand Prix.
What are the main considerations for taking on Silverstone?
Pat Fry: Silverstone is a fantastic circuit for Formula 1 as the majority of corners - famed ones at that - like Copse, Maggotts and Becketts are taken at high-speed, which is thrilling for drivers and spectators alike. In the early races of the season, the A522 performed better in the higher speed corners relative to the lower speed but the developments we have been bringing have helped balance this. The main question mark in Silverstone is often the weather but, rain or dry, we have the ability to be competitive.
Will the team bring any car upgrades to the A522 for the British Grand Prix?
PF: Everyone at Enstone has been working incredibly hard to produce and deliver a reasonably big upgrade package - including a new floor and top-body - in time for this race. It's been a big effort by the team to have this upgrade prepared, so credit to those involved for maintaining the intense plan of car updates so far this season.
How does the team reflect on its front row grid start and double points finish in Canada?
PF: While it was good to score ten points in Canada, the main takeaway highlighted the importance for good reliability. Unfortunately, Fernando had two reliability issues in the race - one that affected the PU performance and, the other affected the suspension - which, after a superb qualifying, hampered any possibility for him to fight towards the podium places in the race.
The latter issue caused tyre graining - plus the misfortune with the timing of the SC deployment - meant the end result was not a fair representation of what was possible in his race. As a take away from the last races we have made some steady progress with the developments we have brought to the car and we need to make sure we are in a position to capitalise on its performance if we're to achieve our targets by the end of the year.
Following a strong outing in Canada, Esteban Ocon is keen to add more points to his season tally as he looks to further cement his position in the top ten of the 2022 Drivers' Championship. Having never finished outside of the points at Silverstone, Esteban will be looking to continue his strong form at the British Grand Prix this weekend.
How do you reflect on the last couple of weeks as we head back to racing in Europe ?
Esteban Ocon: We left Canada with a sense of pride after scoring good points in the race. We had the car to score double points and the goal was to swing the momentum in the fight for fourth in the Constructors' Championship, and we did just that. Now we look forward to the next round with the objective of fighting further up the grid. We are bringing some upgrades to Silverstone, so hopefully we can have a good couple of weeks. On my side, I've used the last week or so to recover from what was an intense double-header, but more importantly prepare for the next races in Silverstone and Austria. I was in the factory this week dissecting the last race with the engineers and getting ready in the simulator. I can feel the whole team looking forward to Silverstone, one of our two home races.
What does it mean for the team be racing at home?
EO: It's amazing to be racing close to the factory in Enstone and it means a lot to everyone in the team. Most race team members get to sleep in their own homes during the weekend for a change, and many factory-based team members will attend the race in the grandstands with their families, which is very special. They work so hard all year so it's great to have them cheering us on and seeing their cars drive around this iconic track. Silverstone always has a great crowd of fans who are very passionate and knowledgeable about Formula 1, so we know the atmosphere will be electric and we hope to put on a good show for everyone.
You've raced at Silverstone many times, what are your thoughts on the track?
EO: Silverstone is one of the fastest tracks on the calendar and I really enjoy racing on it because of that. Historic corners like Maggots, Becketts and Copse provide some of the biggest challenges for drivers and also engineers. This circuit is very exciting to drive and offers a good mix of dramatic high-speed corners and frequent short straights, placing high demands on both the cars and the drivers. The weather is also a factor and can quickly change the character of the circuit, which has made for some epic British Grands Prix in the past. Let's hope for another classic this weekend and a good result for Alpine.
Fernando Alonso heads to Silverstone for his eighteenth visit at the historic British Grand Prix. After putting down a marker in Canada with his best qualifying performance since 2012, Fernando is eager to repeat that magical performance, as he looks to build on a third points finish in a row.
A front-row start and more points after the race. How was Canada for you?
Fernando Alonso: It was good to score more points in Canada even though seventh, and then ninth after the penalty was not the target at the start of Sunday. We weren't expecting to qualify as high as we did with second and the front row. I was obviously pleased with my performance in Qualifying in the tricky weather conditions. The race didn't unfold as we had hoped. We had a badly timed Virtual Safety Car that put us completely out of sync with the rest of the field, whilst other cars managed to capitalise on this. In the first part of the race, we had good pace but we then suffered with the air leak and I was losing engine performance on the straights. We must now shift focus on finding good performance and reliability for Silverstone.
What do you like most about racing at Silverstone?
FA: Silverstone is a classic race on the calendar. I've had multiple podiums, pole positions and wins. It's a real racer's track and it often provides good on track action. It's usually unpredictable with the weather as well. Sometimes you get very hot Summer days and then other times it's heavy rain and the winds can be quite high at the circuit. Whatever the weather, it'll be a fun weekend I am sure.
Approaching the mid-way point of the season, what are your reflections on the first nine races so far?
FA: It's been a mixed season so far for me. We seem to be consistently inside the top ten and on some occasions punching a bit higher, especially over one-lap pace. However, we've run into a lot of bad luck it seems so far in 2022. We've had reliability issues but also very badly timed incidents and Safety Cars. We don't seem to have benefited from many of these moments. However, the team are doing well and the factories are working hard to keep bringing upgrades to the car. If we can keep on pushing on the development front but also secure some of the reliability that has cost us points, then we will be in a stronger position. There's more to come and we've seen the potential is there. I'm excited to see how we do over the coming races.

Max Verstappen: I'm looking forward to going back to Silverstone as it's a real classic and historic race on the calendar. There are so many amazing fans there and it's nice to know that we are just down the road from the Team at the factory in Milton Keynes. It's also good to be heading back to a traditional racetrack after quite a few street circuits. The performance this weekend will depend on whether we find a good balance and we also need a decent tyre strategy as degradation will be high there. So there's plenty of things that we need to get right this weekend, it won't be smooth sailing.
Sergio Perez: It's always hard to have a weekend off when you have had a tough race, like I did in Canada, so I am coming into Silverstone with a lot of desire to put things right. As a Team we are on an incredible run and I am here to keep contributing to those results by performing to my best and getting the most out of this car. Montreal was the first time I have felt it hasn't hooked up for me in the RB18 and this weekend is all about getting that great feeling back for me and getting back on the podium. I have been working hard with my Team and we know where and what we need to work on, we're ready for a good weekend!

British GP: Preview - Pirelli
Along with Suzuka in Japan and Spa in Belgium, Silverstone places the highest energy demands on tyres all year, which is why the hardest tyres in the range have been nominated: C1 as the P Zero White hard, C2 as the P Zero Yellow medium, and C3 as the P Zero Red soft. This is the third time that this combination has been nominated all year.
Ultra-rapid and high-energy corners such as the Maggotts and Becketts complex aren't the only challenge that Silverstone has to offer: the weather can be extremely variable, from bright sunshine to heavy rain.
Last year's race was won with two tyre changes: one of them taking place under an early red flag period following the collision between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. Nearly all the drivers completed two stints on the medium plus a final one on the hard. This year, the compounds and structures are completely different, and there's no sprint qualifying either – which was a factor in the strategy last year.
Mario Isola: "The British Grand Prix was where the new show car for the 2022 season was displayed last year, to highlight the future direction of the sport that we have embarked on from this season.
The latest aerodynamic regulations are designed to allow drivers to follow each other more closely for longer to give more chance of overtaking, as we saw in Canada, while the tyres are designed to provide less overheating, more stability, and increased driveability within a wider working window. All these aspects will be tested this weekend, on one of the most challenging tracks for tyres of the year."

Impresiones de los equipos tras la jornada de Prácticas del viernes:
British GP: Practice team notes - Red Bull
Max Verstappen: "It's always a bit tricky when you don't run a lot in FP1, it means there's a lot more guess work in FP2. I think we know what we need to work on and we'll do that overnight. It looks like it's going to rain during qualifying tomorrow, so there'll be different conditions compared to our sessions today. I got a few laps in with high fuel on the softest compounds, the tyres wear quickly here with all the high-speed corners, so it's always going to be quite tricky to manage the tyres on this track. Overall it went okay today and I'm looking forward to qualifying tomorrow."
Sergio Perez: "It wasn't a great session today, from the preparation I had on the simulator the car is miles off that. We suspect the issues are related to the aerodynamics but I can't go into too much detail until I see the data properly and then we need to understand the problems. Because of that we had a very short long run and then impacted running at the end of the session too. It's not a great start to the weekend, we are a bit on the backfoot now and we need to look into it in more detail now. It will be difficult to catch up, but we have done it before and as long as we are able to get things in the right place we should be good. You need confidence around these tough corners here, so as long as I can get that back things should be alright. Ferrari look strong and I hope we can match them tomorrow come qualifying."

British GP: Practice team notes - Mercedes
A rain-disrupted first practice session saw limited running with Lewis only one of ten drivers to register a time, going second-quickest on the Soft tyre as the track began to dry in the closing stages.
As the clouds parted ahead of FP2, the cars lined up to maximise track time and get through a busy programme in the condensed timeframe on a dry track.
Lewis set a strong time at the end of FP2 on the Soft tyre, good enough for P2, with George finishing P8 having started on the Hard tyre as the drivers ran a split programme.
The team introduced a number of updates here at Silverstone including changes to the floor edge, rear wing tip and front suspension.
Lewis Hamilton: It has been a good day, we managed10 laps in FP1 which was better than most, so I was happy with that. We're bouncing a bit still, not on the straights but through the corners so we've still got work to do. It does feel like a small step forward but we've got to keep working. With this car you can't drive the tracks the same as you used to, with how stiff it is and the ride characteristics, but it's still fun through Maggotts, Becketts and also Stowe - it's mega, my favourite corners. It was difficult to feel the upgrades because you're coming from such a different track - slow speed corners in Montreal to the medium and high-speed corners here. The track is smoother than we've had recently which is much better but in general, this track is just the best, it's still hair-raising to drive. Our long run pace isn't as good as some of the other guys but it isn't far off. The crowd give me hope, it's so good to see them here and I appreciate the support so much.
George Russell: I struggled on the low fuel compared to Lewis, he put in a very strong lap. The high fuel was definitely more promising compared to the McLaren which was also on the Hard. By the time our tyres warmed up, we showed good pace to the Ferraris and were improving lap after lap. Some positive signs there but definitely room to improve. We need to understand why our race pace is so much stronger than our single lap pace, the McLaren is very strong on a single lap but we just can't get the tyres working over a single lap. Over the course of a race, we're in a pretty good window but it's always a balance, you can't just put your eggs in one basket for Sunday. It's a very different circuit to Montreal and Baku, we knew the car was going to be a challenge through the high-speed corners and that proved true through Copse, Maggotts and Becketts, the car was bouncing around, so we need to try and understand that. But we aren't bouncing down the straights which is positive.
Andrew Shovlin: It's great to be back at Silverstone and fantastic to see the grandstands so packed. This was our best Friday for a few races. We've still got a lot to improve but the car is working much better at this track than the last few street circuits. It's really hard to evaluate whether the updates are doing exactly what we'd expect, especially in the windy conditions, but we've not seen anything worrying so we'll continue with this specification for the rest of the weekend. George had a trickier session than Lewis but we had the Hard tyre on his car for the start of the second session and the double compound step made it difficult for him to get the most out of the Soft. Saying that, his long run pace was encouraging. Lewis put in a strong lap on the Soft compound but we expect the fast teams to have plenty to come tomorrow so we need to work hard to iron out a few of the balance and bouncing issues. Lots of work to do overnight but a reasonably encouraging start to the weekend.

British GP: Practice team notes - Ferrari
The first day on track for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone served up a typically English menu when it came to the weather, with a sudden downpour preceding brilliant sunshine, although strong and gusty winds were also a feature, complicating life for the drivers. The first session posed more questions than it answered, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc completing just 15 laps between them on the Intermediate tyres. The second hour was far more useful, with the Spaniard and the Monegasque able to evaluate two of the three slick compounds that Pirelli has brought to Silverstone. On a dry track the Ferrari pair worked on set-up in both race configuration and with a low fuel load. Sainz was fastest overall, with Leclerc fifth.
Just before the start of the session, rain soaked the track. Charles and Carlos went out on Intermediate tyres to assess the conditions, which could be repeated tomorrow during qualifying. The Spaniard pitted immediately, while the Monegasque did four laps, the best in 1'43"801. After a short pause, Carlos went out again and posted a 1'42"967. But then it became clear that the track was still not dry enough for slicks, while not really being suited to Intermediates either, as they would just get damaged, so all the drivers pitted. After around 30 minutes, the cars finally went out again for the final few minutes, but an off-track excursion from Lance Stroll brought out the red flags and the session did not resume.
The second hour of British Grand Prix free practice at Silverstone took place entirely in dry conditions and was therefore much more meaningful than the first session, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc both completing a lot of laps on their way to be fastest overall and fifth respectively. Scuderia Ferrari and the other teams were able to make up for some of the time lost earlier: Carlos and Charles started off on the Medium tyres, gradually improving their lap times. Leclerc did a 1'29"639 and then a 1'29"462, while Sainz stopped the clocks in 1'29"962 before improving down to a 1'29"543. After pitting to take on Soft tyres, Carlos managed a 1'28"942, with Charles posting a 1'29"404. In the final part of the session, both drivers focused on long runs, with Carlos doing a total of 28 laps, three more than Charles. In terms of data acquisition the day delivered less than usual, which is why the final hour of free practice tomorrow at 12 local (13 CEST) will be even more important than usual, in the run up to qualifying at 15 local (16 CEST).
Carlos Sainz: A busy second session after the lack of running in FP1. We had to put together an intense run plan for FP2 to properly check both the short run and the long run pace.
It was quite a challenging session. The wind made it tricky to get the right balance for the high-speed sections and the correct compromise for tyres in the low-speed ones. Overall we were quick, but it felt like there is margin to improve.
Qualifying tomorrow could get interesting due to the weather, so those few laps in wet conditions in FP1 were also useful. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Charles Leclerc: We didn't run much in FP1 today, but we did a few laps in wet conditions to have some data should there be a wet qualifying tomorrow. Once the rain stopped, we put on a set of Soft tyres but we weren't able to complete any laps on them due to a red flag.
FP2 was a bit cleaner and I could tell that our performance felt good in the car. I am confident that we will be competitive and it will be a matter of putting everything together.
British GP: Practice team notes - McLaren
Lando Norris: "A decent day, very tricky in the wind conditions we have here. It's strong gusts at high speed, so the car is difficult to drive, changing every lap, it's inconsistent. But it's the same for everyone. From our side I think the car's performing in a reasonable area, little bit better than maybe we were expecting, so hopefully that can continue into tomorrow. We can make a couple of changes and small improvements in a few areas and continue the pace we had today into tomorrow."
Daniel Ricciardo: "This morning wasn't busy, just because of the weather, so didn't have much running. But then the afternoon session was better, and we got a lot of laps. Initially on the Hards it started well in terms of feel, and we got up to pace pretty well with that, however we struggled with the Softs quite a bit. To be in the top ten is positive, and looking where Lando is, is also positive. So, I think there's certainly a lot more to get out of the car. I think we're in a decent place, we'll learn a bit from both cars, make a few little different set-up changes and have fun tomorrow."
Andrea Stella, Executive Director, Racing: "The mixed weather conditions today at Silverstone presented us with an opportunity to study the car on both a wet and a dry track, which was useful because the weather is likely to continue in this unsettled vein across the remainder of the weekend. It was also quite windy today, which makes the car a little unpredictable and tricky to drive - especially in the high-speed corners. Overall, we're happy that the car seems to be performing better here than we saw in the last two races. We hope to glean as much as we can overnight from the data gathered today, and be as prepared as possible for qualifying and the race."

British GP: Practice team notes - Alpine
BWT Alpine F1 Team introduced its new look A522 today as Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso geared up for this weekend's British Grand Prix with a stop-start Friday Practice at Silverstone.
With its chassis team at Enstone, Oxfordshire, based just 25 miles away from Silverstone, the team introduced a new floor and new top body to this weekend's race - the tenth round of the season - bringing visual changes to the A522.
Rain just before Free Practice 1 at 13:00pm local time scuppered any plans for decent running and important data gathering on its new upgrades with both drivers not setting a competitive lap-time throughout the session.
Conditions were much improved for Free Practice 2 with both Esteban and Fernando running Soft tyres for their opening runs. Fernando finished the session in sixth place with a lap-time of 1min 29.695secs while Esteban, after a small delay to his programme, ended in twelfth place on a 1min 30.238secs.
Tomorrow, the team will continue its understanding of the new upgrades on the demanding, high-speed, Silverstone Circuit with Free Practice 3 at 12:00pm local time and Qualifying at 15:00pm.
Esteban Ocon: "It's always a pleasure to drive around this iconic track in front of so many passionate fans who were cheering us on all day. On our side, we had very limited running in FP1 due to the weather, so it was nice to get some more laps in the afternoon session. We did, however, spot a small crack in the bodywork towards the end of second practice and we preferred to play it safe and not push too hard at the end. We arrived this weekend with a few upgrades on the car, so it was key for us to see how the car performed today. I would like to thank everyone again at the factory who worked so hard to get these upgrades ready for our home race. Preliminary data suggests they are working well, and we are looking forward to hopefully extracting more performance tomorrow."
Fernando Alonso: "It was very difficult for everyone today with the wet session in FP1, which limited any meaningful running. We only had FP2 to complete any proper driving and I think we have some further evaluations to make on our package here at Silverstone. We would love to have more hours on-track but it's the same for everyone! We'll need to do some extra work tonight, so that we can be in the best position possible for tomorrow's final practice and Qualifying."
Matt Harman, Technical Director: "We've brought some upgrades this weekend, mainly around the floor and the bodywork, which has brought some visual differences to the A522. The main changes on the floor are around the diffuser tunnel and edges, while on the top body we have a more pronounced gully to enhance flow to the rear of the car. So, it's been exciting to see those new parts being developed and then seeing them on the car today and credit goes to everyone involved in pushing to deliver those on time. In terms of our on-track running, this morning was very much stop-start with the mixed conditions, and we weren't willing to take too much of a risk with such limited chance of learning anything about the car. For second practice, we were able to put together some dry running, which has given us enough data to run through to make some assessments for tomorrow. We are now carefully analysing the upgrade components and data to confirm our specification for tomorrow."

British GP: Practice team notes - AlphaTauri
Yuki Tsunoda: "I enjoyed driving the new car here for the first time today, it's always a challenging circuit with high-speed corners but with the new car it was really exciting - especially through Maggotts and Becketts, you can push even more than last year's car and you slide around a lot. Overall, it's been a bit of an unusual day compared to most race weeks, as we had almost no running in FP1 with the rain. I feel like we've only really had one session, so it's a bit weird, but we still managed to complete all the running we needed to this afternoon. We're currently struggling a lot with the car and we're quite far away from other teams at the moment. We were always expecting it to be more difficult this weekend, but we'll need to take a big step to be able to be competitive in Qualifying. It looks like the conditions will be tricky tomorrow, so we need to look at all the data tonight and be able to adapt to whatever the British weather throws at us."
Pierre Gasly: "We damaged some parts of the car quite early on today, which made things even harder for us, but generally we're just lacking quite a lot of pace. We're struggling in high-speed corners and unfortunately this is a track that has many of them. Based on these track characteristics, this weekend was always going to be tough, but we'll work hard tonight and see what we can do to improve. We need to be on top of our game and try to make some steps forward, so that we can be in the best position for Sunday. It's also maybe raining tomorrow, which wouldn't be a bad thing for us, we obviously can't rely on this though, so we'll work hard tonight to find a bit more performance for Quali."
Jonathan Eddolls (Chief Race Engineer): "Today we enjoyed some typical British weather, with two thirds of the track wet and one third close to dry in FP1. This meant overall it was too dry to do any decent running on an Inter without killing it, but it was equally too wet for a dry tyre. So, there was little to learn in FP1, which meant we needed to compress all our planned running into FP2. We split the cars in terms of tyre allocation with the view of understanding the best tyres for the race. In FP2 we struggled with both cars in terms of overall grip and balance - neither driver was happy, and we could see some issues in the data. These issues were confirmed when the cars came back to the garage with extensive damage to various aero components. We were able to survive and keep the cars on track, but the performance was far from where we were expecting and where it should be. We have a lot of work ahead of us tonight to confirm the reasons for this and to make the relevant changes for tomorrow. Currently it's also looking like the weather tomorrow could be mixed, so potentially we have completed all of the possible dry running we will get ahead of Qualifying and the race. We therefore need to put everything together and focus on supplying the drivers with a more competitive car from FP3 onwards."

British GP: Practice team notes - Aston Martin
Sebastian Vettel: "A busy day with mixed weather: some rain just before first practice and the usual windy conditions you expect at Silverstone. All of that limited what we could learn when the track was wet or drying out. We also had some downtime this afternoon with a few small issues that we had to repair during the session. So limited track time, and we have not done all the work we would normally do on a Friday. That is a little frustrating because we have quite a few updates this weekend, so we will try to play catch up tonight and tomorrow morning to be ready for qualifying."
Lance Stroll: "I think we completed some solid running today, despite the weather. I got a good feel for the car and my first experience of the upgrades was positive. I think there are some small improvements to make as we optimise things, but we will keep pushing tonight and tomorrow morning to be ready for qualifying. It is the usual stuff - a bit of understeer here, a bit of oversteer there, but we will try and sort it out ready for tomorrow."

British GP: Practice team notes - Williams
Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: It is a bit frustrating that the weather prevented us from doing anything useful in Free Practice 1 but at least it was dry for Free Practice 2, allowing us to start the evaluation of the new parts. We have a lot to get through tonight but there are some positive signs, despite the windy conditions. Unfortunately, Alex suffered some kerb damage to the rear of his car and whilst this was completely independent of the updates, it did prevent him from getting his high fuel running done.
We still need to understand how to modify the setup to take advantage of the new package and this will be our main job overnight. However, it looks likely that the weather will dominate tomorrow's running and so we will also need to focus on preparation for wet qualifying.
Alex Albon: We had a limited day with the wet Free Practice 1, so didn't get as much running as we'd like to with the new aero package. As Free Practice 2 goes, we do need track time and despite having pretty much none of it, we've got a car we can drive that is a step forward from the previous car, so it's positive. We have a bit of fine tuning and changes to make but we have a good base so can start from there and see how we go tomorrow.
Nicholas Latifi: The first day at Silverstone wasn't very eventful, with no running in Free Practice 1 because the conditions were not representative to learning anything, with other teams in the same boat. It meant Free Practice 2 was more important as it might be the only dry running we get before qualifying. We completed our programme with very little issues. It was extremely windy which I think is making it tricky for everybody. We've got some good data and direction to go to overnight, so we'll see what we can do tomorrow.

British GP: Practice team notes - Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN completed the first day of on-track action at the British Grand Prix. The Silverstone circuit was wet in FP1, a factor that limited running in a session that saw Valtteri Bottas top the timesheets with Zhou Guanyu in sixth; in the second session, a dry track allowed for plenty of laps to be completed, the resulting data driving the engineer's efforts to fine-tune the setup of the C42 tonight.
Valtteri Bottas: "It hasn't been a bad day: the first session wasn't that useful, with half the track dry and the other half wet, but we were able to do plenty of laps in FP2, as many as anyone else, and try some high-fuel runs. It's clear that the midfield is very tight once again; a couple of tenths more or less can mean a shift of a lot of places. We'll need to make a good improvement tonight but I think we can look forward to qualifying. There's still a bit to do to balance the car, especially in the high-speed corners, but I am confident we can make a step forward."
Zhou Guanyu: "It's been quite a smooth Friday overall. We couldn't learn much during FP1 due to the weather: driving out there was quite tricky and it was challenging to find the right balance, so FP2 was the first clean session of the day. I can consider myself happy, the field is super close again, as we expected, and the car seems to be working much better, with just a few things that we need to adjust for tomorrow. Having the complete package of updates for the whole weekend is always good, especially for rookies like me, so I'm looking forward to getting into more action tomorrow and improving even more ahead of qualifying."

British GP: Practice team notes - Haas
Round 10 of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship commenced on Friday with practice at the Silverstone Circuit as teams prepared for Sunday's 52-lap British Grand Prix.
Friday's track time consisted of two 60-minute sessions - FP1 and FP2 - around the 5.891-kilometer (3.66-mile), 18-turn circuit. FP1 was light on content however as the hour passed with Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen posting just three laps each thanks to rain showers keeping most cars in their garages - teams opting not to risk the changeable conditions early in the weekend. Only 10 cars officially recorded a lap time with Schumacher taking P5 and Magnussen P7 - both running the Pirelli Cinturato Green intermediate tires to tackle the damp conditions.
Overhead conditions improved ahead of FP2 with a partly cloudy sky but more importantly no rain meant a dry circuit. Magnussen started his program with a nine-lap baseline stint on the Pirelli P Zero White hard rubber while Schumacher recorded the same number of laps on the Yellow medium compound. Both transitioned to the Red soft rubber for qualifying simulations. Magnussen set a best time of 1:30.480 (P17) with Schumacher recording a 1:30.609 (P19). High-fuel runs in the VF-22 concluded Friday's running with Magnussen remaining on softs and Schumacher reverting back to the medium tires to take the checkered.
Haas F1 Team ran a total of 62 laps on Friday across FP1 and FP2 - 30 by Magnussen and 32 by Schumacher.
Kevin Magnussen: "It's always hard to read into competitiveness and positions after these practice sessions. FP2 was basically our FP1 because the real FP1 was wet, with one installation lap. I'm still optimistic, it's very tight so it won't take a big improvement to go many places up the order. I'm really optimistic and looking forward to tomorrow - let's see what the weather does."
Mick Schumacher: "It wasn't quite as easy as we imagined it would be - some teams have brought a few upgrades - but we'll see in qualifying. We know what we have to do, we have a clear direction in terms of set-up and there was a lot of lap time left in my lap around Turn 15, so there's still more to come and we still have stuff to unlock on our side."
Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "FP2 was pretty good for us. We got all our laps in, we did all our work and we know what we've got to do. Even if our position doesn't look the best, we're still very positive for tomorrow. FP1 obviously wasn't very relevant - we just got out there to make sure the car was working as it should - but with the changing conditions there was no real progress made on the set-up of the car."

British GP: Practice team notes - Pirelli
A typical Friday in England was characterised by wet and dry weather in the two free practice sessions around the rapid Silverstone circuit. The weather was a talking point, with few drivers making the most of the wet FP1 session but more coming out in the afternoon, with Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz setting the fastest time of the day (1m28.942s) on the P Zero Red soft tyre: after a very close session where the top five drivers were covered by less than half a second.
Only the Cinturato Green Intermediate and P Zero Red soft tyres were run in FP1, leaving only the FP2 session for the teams to properly try out the slick tyres taken to round 10 of this year's championship.
There's currently an estimated gap of between 1.0 and 1.2 seconds between the soft and medium tyre, with a similar estimated gap between the medium and hard (although there's not a huge amount of data to fall back on). This gap is largely dependent on weather conditions, with cooler temperatures favouring the softer compounds.
Mario Isola: "When will we have a Friday that allows two free practice sessions to take place exactly as they should? I'm sorry that the spectators, who are always amazing here, didn't get the chance to see so many laps in FP1, but one consolation is the fact that the track, which was wet at the beginning of the session, gradually dried out lap by lap, allowing the drivers to experience the crossover point - which could be very useful information for the rest of the weekend. At Silverstone the weather will be a determining factor, with the performance gaps between the compounds - and therefore the strategy - being quite dependent on track temperature."

Impresiones de los equipos tras la jornada de Clasificación del Sábado:
British GP: Qualifying team notes - Red Bull
Max Verstappen: "It was a good qualifying, I felt comfortable out there.
It was obviously very slippery on track, my 360-degree spin in Q3 was a new tyre warming technique [laughs], but overall I think we did a good job, we have a great race car. Q3 is sometimes a bit of a lottery, especially in the wet, so I couldn't improve on my final lap as there was a yellow flag, I think that cost me pole position today.
As you can see it's all very tight at the front at the Ferraris are very strong. It will be a close battle tomorrow but hopefully we can finish ahead of them. The car is good in the wet and the dry, so if the car is working well during the race tomorrow then we should have a good chance of winning."
Sergio Perez: "In these changeable conditions, today was a good result for us. I obviously wanted more and I am not fully satisfied but we can fight from there and I look forward. It wasn't ideal but on the other hand I am not too disappointed because towards the end of Q3 I had Stroll right ahead of me, so my last two laps were not ideal and maybe there was a bit more in it without that hold up. We found the issue in the car that was troubling us on Friday and in the race we will be a lot more competitive. It will be important to stay in the mix and have a strong pace in the race tomorrow, then things can look very different. We have made good progress so I will be confident hopefully we are able to give a hard time to the Ferraris, it is going to be tough but we will fight hard."
Christian Horner: "It was a good qualifying today from both drivers, in very tricky conditions. We got a bit unlucky with the yellow flags which meant Max lost around 3 or 4 tenths but we're pleased to be on the front row with Checo up there on the second row, in a session like that, it's a good place to be.
"If tomorrow is a straight dry race, then strategy and tyre deg are going to be crucial, this year, we've seen our cars can follow closer which is going to be critical through Becketts, but if the beautiful British summer continues tomorrow it could all change so quickly, hopefully we can take the fight to Ferrari.
"Congratulations to Carlos today, he's always been fantastic in the wet even when he was a junior for us, he did a great job and deserved the pole."

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Mercedes
Lewis will line up for the British Grand Prix in P5 and George in P8, with the W13 showing plenty of promise throughout the day. The rain was lashing sideways for much of Q1 and Q2 with all drivers running Inters; George and Lewis navigated the conditions well to progress comfortably.
In the shootout for pole in Q3, the drivers steadily built confidence and the times tumbled with each passing lap as the rain continued to drizzle. On their final run, Lewis managed enough for P5 but a lock up at turn 3 for George left him with too much to do, eventually crossing the line in P8.
The W13 showed strong pace in the dry conditions of FP3 and the team will look to bring that potential to tomorrow's race.
Lewis Hamilton: The team have worked incredibly hard to bring updates to the car and we have a bunch of new aero furniture around the car and it has improved. But we still have bouncing in the high-speed corners which is where, particularly the Red Bull, is pulling away from us. In the rain, we were fighting for the front row; all the way until that second to last lap we were up there. We backed off to charge the battery and go into a racier mode for the final lap but that was just when the rain started to fall heavier and it cost us.
I was so hopeful because we have this incredible crowd and we were in the fight, I was feeling great. We've got a great race car and fifth isn't the worst place to start, in previous races I'd have been happy with P5 but it's the British Grand Prix, you're hopeful for more. I'll try and pull something special for tomorrow, I really appreciate the support here - the fans were amazing.
George Russell: In Q1 I was feeling really well in the car, very confident but in Q2, it felt slightly worse and then in Q3, I struggled for confidence in the car, made a mistake and it was tough to recover from there. It was tricky for everyone out there but I'm slightly disappointed we didn't have a better qualifying session, we didn't expect to fight for pole but more was possible. In FP3 we looked very strong with good pace in the dry and we felt like we made good progress. We know that we have a much faster race car than qualifying so let's see what we can do tomorrow, starting P8 puts us on the back foot so we need to get through those midfield cars as quickly as possible. In the dry and in race pace, we feel we have a car than fight Red Bull and Ferrari so we'll be giving it everything tomorrow.
Toto Wolff: It felt like we had made a good step with the car in the dry in FP3, and that we could be in the mix for qualifying. Obviously the rain came and we managed the session well, setting competitive laps as the rain ebbed and flowed. But in Q3, the final laps didn't come together - George had a lock-up on his penultimate lap, and Lewis struggled with a split on brake temperatures and losing some tyre temperature. So it's a little disappointing to be only P5 and P8, and to not have extracted the full potential today. The silver lining is that we had strong long runs yesterday - we have improved the car since then - and it's race pace that matters round here. I'm looking forward to watching it all play out in front of these fantastic fans and another packed house.
Andrew Shovlin: We're disappointed with the final positions as we were closer to the front in the first and second session but ultimately we didn't get the laps together when the conditions were at their best. We'd backed both cars off on the penultimate lap thinking we'd push at the end but the rain picked up a little and we just didn't have the pace. However, we have seen signs of progress with the car over the weekend that are keeping us encouraged. We made a few changes overnight and the drivers were both much happier with the high speed performance in final practice earlier today. Our long run was decent on Friday but it was the high speed corners where we were losing, so hopefully the improvements have carried through from low fuel to high fuel. So, not quite the grid positions that we had hoped for but we're still optimistic that we can bring home some good results tomorrow. The fans have been brilliant all weekend and we'll hopefully be able to give them something to celebrate tomorrow.

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Ferrari
Pole number 237 for Scuderia Ferrari at Silverstone, its seventh of the season, from ten races.
It was down to an amazing performance from Carlos Sainz, who came out on top in the extremely difficult conditions in the rain that fell during qualifying for the British Grand Prix. It was Sainz's very first Formula 1 pole position, making him the 34th Ferrari driver and the second Spaniard after Fernando Alonso to start from the number one slot, in this instance, for his 150th Grand Prix. Lining up on the grid box behind him will be team-mate Charles Leclerc, who saw his chances of getting on the front row disappear in a spin on his last run. Splitting the two Ferraris will be Max Verstappen.
All of qualifying was run in the wet and the Scuderia crew skilfully avoided the pitfalls of the conditions to get the drivers through to Q3. In the final part, both F1-75s were fuelled to go to the end of the session so as to lap continuously and take advantage of the slightest improvement on track. The rain stopped for the final few minutes and the lap times came down with each passing lap. Charles posted a time of 1'43"246, while Carlos got down to 1'42"181. The Monegasque then put in a 1'41"298, which Verstappen beat with a 1'41"055. But having the final word in fine style this Saturday at Silverstone, Carlos stopped the clocks in 1'40" 983, which proved a step too far for his rivals. Unfortunately, Charles had a spin which meant he had to settle for third place.
There is a lot of work to do tonight in preparation for tomorrow's 52 lap race (equivalent to 306.198 kilometres), which starts at 15 local (16 CEST). The outcome is far from clear, as no rain is forecast and only two sessions this weekend have been run in the dry. The race looks very open and there are many different possible tyre strategies to consider. As always, the Scuderia faces stiff opposition, but the team is ready for the fight.
Carlos Sainz: I'm extremely happy today! Securing my first pole at Silverstone in the wet is something special that I will never forget.
The whole qualifying was very tricky, and every lap was a new adventure because of the track conditions. Finding grip and traction was a huge challenge and every lap you had to adapt. On the very last attempt I went for it and managed to put a good lap together that gave us pole.
The confidence for tomorrow is high and hopefully we can bring our good pace from Friday into the race. It will be a very tight battle with our competitors, but I'm ready for it and I'm sure we can put together a strong race and fight for the win. Let's race.
Charles Leclerc: Unfortunately, I spun on that last lap in Q3 and didn't put it together as I wanted to, so I am disappointed, but I am happy that Carlos finished on pole.
I felt confident in the car and we were quite competitive, even in these conditions which is where we struggled quite a lot for the past two years. It's good to see that we've found some consistency in the wet.
Strategies will be different between teams tomorrow, so whether it will be one or two stops, I hope we can gain something by making good moves and fight for a 1-2 for our team.
Mattia Binotto: It's very satisfying to come away with pole position and third place in the difficult conditions we faced in today's qualifying. It was a day where what mattered most was to stay focussed and Carlos certainly succeeded in that. So, he fully deserves this result. Securing his first pole position at such a demanding track and in these extreme conditions is the best possible confirmation of how Carlos' confidence in the car has grown over recent races, especially after Canada. Now we turn our attention to the race, the most important part of the weekend.
Charles also had a good qualifying and he can move forward from his start position. However, it's going to be a hard race tomorrow with many variables coming into play. We will now work on preparing to convert this pole into the best possible result tomorrow.

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Alpine
BWT Alpine F1 Team will start tomorrow's British Grand Prix with Fernando Alonso seventh and Esteban Ocon fifteenth on the grid after a wet Qualifying at a packed-out Silverstone.
Fernando made it four consecutive Q3 appearances while Esteban could count himself unfortunate to drop out of qualifying in Q2, as a result of a power loss relating to a battery cooling issue during the session.
Inconsistent weather at Silverstone has made track running challenging throughout the weekend with a mixed day yesterday repeated with a dry Free Practice 3 held earlier on Saturday before a washed-out afternoon Qualifying.
Both drivers made it through Q1 after a series of laps on Intermediates with Fernando ending in tenth with a lap time of 1min 41.598secs and Esteban twelfth less than 0.2secs behind.
Conditions grew worse for Q2 with laps set at the beginning of the session proving crucial for any chance of advancing to the top ten. Fernando progressed on a 1min 42.209secs with Esteban missing out in fifteenth after suffering a battery issue in the session.
Aiming to repeat his heroics in Canada last time out, Fernando rose to first place after his first lap in Q1 before settling for third place as others completed competitive laps. The weather was set to be at its worse at the end of the session as Fernando's final lap time of 1min 42.116secs proving good enough for seventh place.
Esteban Ocon: "It's been one of those tricky days for us today. A battery-related loss of power at the beginning of Q2 stopped us from being competitive in the session and we were out in fifteenth, which is not great ahead of tomorrow's race. I'm still positive, though, as we've started from further down this year and scored points, so the goal will be the same tomorrow. We're looking into the issue now and I trust that the team will get on top of it, and we'll be in good shape for the race. We can overtake here at Silverstone, so we'll have to take all available opportunities to have a decent result."
Fernando Alonso: "There was more to come today and unfortunately we didn't maximise our last laps in Q3. On my first lap in Q3 we were in first, so it was going pretty well. Then, we crossed the line for our last lap with the battery nearly empty, so we couldn't unlock the full potential. I feel like we could have perhaps qualified inside the top five today. Tomorrow, we don't know if it will rain or not, so let's see if we can maximise our position and score points. The car feels good in the wet and dry and all of the data from the factory shows we've made a good step forward with our upgrades this weekend."
Otmar Szafnauer, Team Principal: "It's been quite a challenging weekend in Silverstone so far with the mixed weather conditions.
Today, we feel slightly disappointed in our qualifying result as, not only do we have two drivers who relish wet weather, but also a race car that has proved in the past to be competitive in the rain like we saw in Canada two weeks ago. Fernando probably had the potential to be a couple of places higher with Q3 a matter of being on a fast lap at the right time, while Esteban was unfortunate with the battery being too cold for optimal performance. That said, we always look forwards and points are awarded on Sundays and we have a long race tomorrow, which will no doubt provide some good opportunities for both cars to progress. We're happy with the upgrades on the car, we've managed to gather some further understanding and data on those with the dry running we've completed at times this weekend. We're looking forward to tomorrow's race where the aim will be to have both cars inside the top ten at the chequered flag and I can see no reason why that aim is not achievable."

British GP: Qualifying team notes - AlphaTauri
Pierre Gasly: "It's been extremely hard this weekend in the practice sessions. We came here knowing we'd struggle on this track, we haven't been able to find many solutions, but our Quali was well executed, and we need to be content with P11. Obviously, we can't be fully happy with such a performance, we want more than that, but that's where our car is currently on this kind of tracks. I'll be doing a rain dance tonight and hoping we can have anything other than dry conditions to help us out the most in the race tomorrow."
Yuki Tsunoda: "We expected it to be difficult to get through to Q2 today, based on the performance we had in free practice, so I'll take today's result. The conditions were tough out there, but the team did a really good job and I'm happy with how we finished, I think it's a big positive for us considering the weekend we'd been having so far. I'm hoping we won't have rain for the race tomorrow, as my car is set-up more for the dry, so hopefully it stays dry, and we'll be able to put it altogether to aim for the points. I'm looking forward to the race, it'll be difficult, but I think we can still have a good opportunity tomorrow."
Jody Egginton (Technical Director): "It's fair to say that this weekend has been a difficult one up until now, with neither car looking strong. However, some good work from the drivers and team in Qualifying allowed us to take advantage of the wet conditions and get the cars a bit further forward than we were looking capable of in the dry up until now here in Silverstone. Obviously, we are not happy with the level of performance shown here, but the guys are continuing to work hard, and we will be looking to maximise any opportunities that come our way in tomorrow's race. We have various aero updates working their way through now and as such we are looking forward to being able to move the package forward with these new parts in the next few events."

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Aston Martin
Sebastian Vettel: "A Saturday performance like this makes Sunday really difficult. But all we can do is turn the page and see what we can do tomorrow. We did not have the pace today and we know we can do better. We need to learn our lessons, understand where we are losing out, and improve for next time."
Lance Stroll: "At the end of the session, we tried a new set of Intermediate tyres, but I had a terrible out-lap getting caught in traffic and it was really difficult to generate enough temperature at that point. With only one push-lap at the end of the session, my tyres were not warm enough to be able to put in a respectable qualifying time. I am disappointed to be starting at the back of the grid, but hopefully the weather will improve and we will have a more successful race."
Mike Krack, Team Principal: "Today we did not do a good enough job. The rain made things tricky, but that was the same for everyone. To qualify 18th and 20th for our home Grand Prix is a big disappointment, especially as the team had worked so hard to ready our aero upgrades in the short time available. Tomorrow it will be difficult to score points, obviously, but we will do our very best."

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Williams
Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: As expected, the weather played its part today and with the rain intensity varying, it was a difficult session to manage; aligning the tyre condition to the track state was tricky.
However, Nicholas drove well throughout qualifying and was able to get in some good laps at crucial times. We had nothing to lose in Q3 and so took the opportunity to complete a reconnaissance lap on used tyres before pitting for the new set and getting position on a clear part of the track. Unfortunately, some car damage meant that Nicky couldn't set a competitive lap time. Nonetheless, he had an excellent session and starts the race tomorrow in a good position.
Alex was unfortunate to just miss out on Q2 by a tiny margin, which is very frustrating as he would also have had a good opportunity to get into Q3 today. His car was working well but he couldn't get as much from the second set of tyres as he did from the first. We'll look over the data to see if we could've done something better for him, but at least we got some useful information on how the new package works with the Intermediate tyres and how we need to balance the car in those tricky conditions.
Nicholas Latifi: A very special day in tricky conditions. To get through to Q2 was a great achievement and a nice confidence boost, and then Q3 was more than we could've hoped for. Straight out of the pits things felt good and I was getting into a rhythm. The team did a great job in Q1 and Q2 of putting me in the right place on the track when I needed to. We saw how important that was for Q2 getting that lap in at the right time before the track got worse with the weather. Coming off in Q3 was frustrating but overall a great team effort and a satisfying day.
We have to be realistic going in tomorrow as we're out of position with faster cars being behind us. We need to be very strategic in how we approach the race. It'll be a race of attrition with how we manage the tyres. Anything is possible so we'll focus on our own race and maximise any opportunities that may come our way.
Alex Albon: The conditions were actually okay today despite the rain, with the car feeling good but there was less grip on the 2nd set of tyres. It's been a bit different to drive with the new updates but in Free Practice 3 I was feeling quite comfortable with the car, even in the rain in Q1, it felt ok. At the end of Q1 we opted to do a cool down lap but we lost too much tyre temperature. The track was starting to dry, and everyone was starting to get faster, but I just couldn't find enough grip. It was a tight call but in hindsight, I don't think the cool down lap was the best choice, but we'll see what we can do with tomorrow. We do have a good car, so we need to go back and analyse it.

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN battled the weather conditions to claim another Q3 as Zhou Guanyu set the 9th time in qualifying for the British Grand Prix. Team-mate, Valtteri Bottas, was in 12th position, giving both Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN drivers a good chance to place both cars in the points come tomorrow's race.
Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal: "The conditions of the track were very challenging, as the intermittent rain made it really tricky to assess just where the limit was. Zhou delivered a very mature performance, despite this being just his second wet qualifying in F1, and made it to Q3 for the second time running. His P9 is a career best and he is in a great position to bring home points tomorrow. Valtteri had a slightly more complicated day: he looked good in Q1, but getting the tyres into temperature in Q2 proved difficult and he had to settle for P12. Still, we know how strong our car is in the race and we expect to make up some ground tomorrow, especially if it's dry. The objective is to put both cars in the points once again."
Valtteri Bottas: "It's been a challenging day for me: conditions were tricky, changing all the time and it felt like every lap the track was a bit different. Q1 was good, but, once I got into Q2, with more water on track, I struggled to get enough temperature in the tyres. That was a bit of a downward spiral - I was sliding around and the car kept snapping, which made me lose even more temperature. Still, we are in P12 and the points are not too far away: we expect a dry race tomorrow, and I am confident we can make some gains. Our car is quite strong in the races, so we can put up a bit of a fight."
Zhou Guanyu: "Qualifying was a challenge, but I would say I didn't do too bad for a rookie! It was my first time driving in F1 in Silverstone in the wet, the conditions were very different from yesterday but today has been good, I felt like I was progressing and improving my time lap after lap. It was particularly tricky out there between Q2 and Q3, when it was getting damp and there was a lot of standing water, but I managed to keep the car on track and reckon I was able to maximize everything I had today, so I can consider myself satisfied of the job done. It feels amazing to score two back-to-back Q3 appearances, I feel like I'm growing as a Formula 1 driver and I am really happy about that. I am looking forward to tomorrow, the track conditions should be dry, and I think we have the opportunity to score some points, which is always our main target. We have good potential, the grid will be super close, but I reckon we are looking good and both cars will be able to challenge for points tomorrow."

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Haas
Haas F1 Team drivers Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher qualified 17th and 19th respectively for the British Grand Prix, Round 10 of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
The forecasted rain duly arrived just minutes before the start of qualifying at Silverstone Circuit with Q1 seeing the field hit the track shod exclusively on the Cinturato Green intermediate tires to tackle the tricky conditions.
Magnussen and Schumacher set four timed laps on their first set of tires in Q1 - both drivers dealing with understeer throughout the session while Schumacher was also forced to contend with a steering wheel imbalance on his VF-22.
Magnussen's final effort before pitting for a fresh set of intermediates was a 1:43.513. Armed with fresh rubber he delivered a 1:42.180 followed by a 1:42.159 to finish P17 - two spots out of making it through to Q2. Schumacher's final lap on his first set was a 1:45.175. With new intermediates on he charged to the checkered setting a 1:43.174 then a 1:42.708 but exited qualifying in P19.
Kevin Magnussen: "Mick was looking good in FP3, I didn't have a good one, but I could see what the car could do so I was confident. Then it rained, and that made me even more confident but for some reason we just didn't have the pace today in the wet. It's interesting, we've been quick in the wet a couple of times this year, but it's been on very different tracks to this one. There's something to learn from that so we'll try again tomorrow and see if we can fight our way back into the top-10."
Mick Schumacher: "Unfortunately we had an issue with the car, it seemed like something with the steering wasn't right which is the last thing you want, especially in these changing conditions. We'll analyze what happened, but I think that was a big reason why we didn't make the step-up into Q2. I'm down for any conditions tomorrow, whether it's wet or dry - it's fun in any conditions - so I'm looking forward to it."
Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "It wasn't a smooth day today. In FP3, Mick did a very good job but Kevin couldn't find the balance in the car. In qualifying in the rain, we just had too much understeer and we wore the front-left tire out. We just couldn't get the car to turn so we were out in Q1 and on Mick's car, his steering wheel was off about 10 degrees which obviously is not ideal when you're out in these conditions trying to qualify. Now we're regrouping to get the best out of tomorrow."

British GP: Qualifying team notes - Pirelli
Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz took his very first pole position after a qualifying session run in rainy conditions from start to finish. The Cinturato Green intermediates were used throughout qualifying, run in 15 degrees ambient and 19 degrees of track temperature.
Despite the wet conditions, the intermediates provided optimal grip under the circumstances, with the top speed reached today being close to 300kph. The intermediate evacuates around 35 litres of water per second at 300kph, while the full wet disperses around 85 litres per second at the same speed.
As well as being a first pole position for Sainz today, it was also a first appearance in Q3 for Williams driver Nicholas Latifi.
The Pirelli Pole Position Award was presented to Sainz by a British lion: Nigel Mansell, nicknamed 'Il Leone' when he was a Ferrari driver. Mansell won the world title in 1992 and won the British Grand Prix four times (as well as the European Grand Prix once in England).
The quickest strategy for the 52-lap race is going to be a two-stopper, with a few different options on the table.
The P Zero Yellow medium is the tyre to start on, and the quickest strategy on paper is medium followed by P Zero White hard followed by medium. This has the advantage of ensuring that two different compounds are run earlier in the race, opening up strategic possibilities.
For those who don't have a second set of mediums available, the strategy could be medium-hard-soft, which is also closely-matched - and could be converted to a one-stopper if needed. A one-stopper is possible but hard to manage: this would be medium to hard.
As always, this also depends on which tyres the drivers have left in their allocations, and what the conditions are like tomorrow. It's expected to be dry, but there is a risk of some rain showers, and the cooler the temperatures, the more the softer compounds are favoured.
Mario Isola: "Even though the intermediate tyre was not designed to cope with aquaplaning situations, it coped very well with the conditions today, allowing the drivers to reach nearly 300kph in wet conditions with comparatively long stints as the surface dried out.
This is a track that puts lots of energy through the tyres, allowing a dry line to emerge. In the dry conditions of FP3, most drivers ran the soft tyre, and we expect the medium to be the main race tyre tomorrow if conditions are dry - which is not entirely certain - with a two-stopper being the best strategy."

Max Verstappen volvió a ser el más rápido. Esta vez dejó a Leclerc a casi 6 décimas y con Hamilton entre ellos a 4.
Carlos Sainz acabó de nuevo en cuarta posición.
Fernando Alonso terminó séptimo mientras que Ocon se quedó fuera.
La sorpresa fue ver a Latiffi pasar el corte junto a Zhou, mientras que Bottas no lo hacía.
De nuevo, decepción de Ricciardo, y eso que solía ser especialista en aprovechar situaciones cambiantes como estas.
Los eliminados en Q2 fueron:
11 Gasly
12 Bottas
13 Tsunoda
14 Ricciardo
15 Ocon

FORMULA 1 LENOVO BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2022 - Silverstone
Resultados sesión de CALIFICACIÓN
Sábado, 2 de julio de 2022
¡Pole de CARLOS SAINZ!
Parecía que Max VERSTAPPEN se la iba a llevar pero al final la pole fue para el español. De nuevo, las condiciones cambiantes nos regalaron una emocionante calificación.
La constante amenaza de lluvia, hizo que todos fueran apretando desde el inicio por lo que se podrían encontrar al final. Tras el último paso por meta antes de que el contador se pusiera a cero, Verstappen lideraba la clasificación pero en los segundos finales la lluvia apretó y Sainz, que estaba haciendo su vuelta por delante, hizo un gran sector y consiguió llevarse la «pole al agua» (no me peguéis, por favor :gaydude: :elrisas: :cunaooooo:), logrando su primera pole en la F1 y convirtiéndose en el piloto número 104 en conseguir una.
Ha tardado 150 grandes premio en lograrla, convirtiéndose en el segundo piloto que más ha tardado en conseguira tras Checo, que tardó 216 (fuente noisegun (https://twitter.com/Noisegun)).
La última pole española fue la de Alonso en Alemania 2012, hace 9 años, 11 meses y 11 días.
Fue una sesión en la que, a pesar de las condiciones, no se vieron prácticamente errores. Uno de ellos fue un trompo de Verstappen nada más comenzar la Q3.
Leclerc también trompeó durante la Q3, él lo hizo en su último intento. Curiosamente, este trompo provocó una bandera amarilla que le hizo a Max levantar el pie, lo que le impidió llevarse la pole, pole que perdió por 72 milésimas.
VERSTAPPEN será quien comparta primera línea de salida con SAINZ, mientras que LECLERC saldrá desde la tercera posición, con Checo PÉREZ a su lado.
Lewis HAMILTON terminó quinto, rompiendo su racha de siete años consecutivos saliendo aquí desde la primera línea.
Lando NORRIS saldrá sexto, justo por delante de Fernando ALONSO, que abortó en su última vuelta al ir perdiendo tiempo debido al aumento de la lluvia.
A su lado tendrá a RUSSELL. Entre Hamilton y él sólo hay 66 décimas de diferencia, pero dos pilotos por en medio.
La novena y décima posición fueron para ZHOU y un más que contento LATIFFI.

Llegó arrastrando boca abajo, perdiendo mucha velocidad, por lo que, a pesar de lo espectacular del accidente, al chocar contra la valla la velocidad era muy poca.

FORMULA 1 LENOVO BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2022 - Silverstone
Resultados CARRERA
Domingo, 3 de julio de 2022
¡¡¡VICTORIA DE CARLOS SAINZ!!!
¡Por fin llegó la más que esperada primera victoria de nuestro Carletes en la F1!
Ha sido una gran carrera en la que hemos disfrutado de bonitas luchas y en la que el colofón ha sido oir de nuevo el himno de España en la ceremonia del podio.
Tras reponernos del gran susto que nos ha provocado ver el accidente del inicio de carrera y comprobar que todos los pilotos han salido ilesos, nos preparamos para una nueva carrera con sólo 17 pilotos tras el abandono de Zhou, Albon y Russell.
Carlos lograba mantener la primera posición mientras que por detrás se «pegaban» por avanzar posiciones, saliendo Leclerc y Checo con sus alerones delanteros dañados, sobre todo Checo, que tuvo que parar a cambiarlo. Carlos cometió un erro que le permitió a Verstappen ponerse por delante pero este comenzó pronto a tener problemas y a perder posiciones. Sainz comentó que le vió perdiendo algunas partes del coche.
A pesar de tener dañado el alerón delantero, Leclerc mostraba mejor ritmo y Sainz le tuvo que ceder la posición.
Por detrás, Hamilton iba acercándose más y más a los Ferrari. Sainz hizo su parada mientras Leclerc intentaba que Hamilton no le diera caza. Checo iba recuperando posiciones, igual que Vettel mientras que Verstappen las iba perdiendo sin entender qué le pasaba a su coche.
A falta de unas 15 vueltas, el coche de Ocon dijo basta y apareció la bandera roja para retirarlo. En Ferrari no se la quisieron jugar con Leclerc. que rodaba primero, y no le pararon. Sainz iba segundo y a él sí decidieron pararle. Hamilton iba detrás de él y le copió la estrategia. Checo, que llevaba unos neumáticos medios de 33 vueltas, también paró. Alonso, que iba detrás de Norris, hizo lo contrario del inglés y pasó por boxes. Una vuelta más tarde, Norris decidió parar pero ya fue tarde, Alonso logró ponerse por delante.
Todos aprovecharon el coche de seguridad para cambiar neumáticos excepto Leclerc y Magnussen.
Leclerc sabía que el relanzamiento de la carrera iba a ser muy complicado para él por la diferencia de neumáticos con los de atrás pero no lo puso nada facil, y eso que el iba tras él era su compañero. Por cierto, a Sainz le pidieron que dejara la máxima distancia posible con Leclerc para intentar parar a Hamilton. La respuesta de Sainz fue pedir que pararan de inventarse historias y que le dejaran pilotar porque Leclerc no iba a poder impedir que lo adelantaran y con Hamilton en tercera posición, Ferrari podría perder la victoria.
El relanzamiento de la carrera nos ha regalado unos momentos preciosos con bonitas luchas entre Leclerc y Saiz y tras ellos con Hamilton y Checo, a los que luego se añadió Leclerc tras ser adelantado por Sainz. Han sido unas vueltas para no perdérselas.
Mientras Hamilton, Checo y Leclerc se adelantaban una y otra vez entre ellos, Sainz se escapaba en busca de la victoria.
Tras él cruzó finalmente la meta Checo, que ha realizado una gran remontada después de verse a la cola tras su toque en la «segunda primera vuelta» :cunaooooo:.
El podio lo ha completado Hamilton, que le ha levantado la vuelta rápida a Sainz en la última vuelta.
Leclerc ha logrado mantener la cuarta posición, que sin duda le ha sabido muy poco. Muy destacable también su carrera teniendo en cuenta las condiciones de su alerón delantero desde el inicio y la diferencia de neumáticos en la parte final.
Tras él ha finalizado Alonso, que termina contento con el rendimiento de su Alpine y logrando mantener a Norris detrás.
Después de tantos problemas, Verstappen ha logrado minimizar daños al terminar en séptima posición, aguantando tras él a Schumacher, que logra por fin sus primeros puntos en la F1 al finalizar octavo. Estuvo muy cerca de adelantarle.
Otro que hizo una gran remontada fue Vettel, que ha terminado noveno, justo por delante de Magnussen, que ha sido quien se ha llevado el último de los puntos en disputa.
Los otros pilotos que han logrado cruzar la meta han sido Stroll, Latifi, Ricciardo y Tsunoda. De verdad que me da mucha pena ver a Ricciardo rindiendo a un nivel tan bajo.
Bottas y Gasly abandonaron.
En resumen, una carrera muy entretenida y recomendable de ver que encima es histórica para el automovilismo español. ¡A verla!

Me ha pillado el finde de fiestas del pueblo pero ayer noche saqué hueco para ver la carrera repetida. Y vaya carrera, y por fin victoria de Carlos, TRBAJADISIMA, pero me alegro un montón.
A ver que tal os va con el tema del foro, ya nos contareis.
Impresiones de los equipos tras la Carrera:
British GP: Race team notes - Red Bull
Sergio Perez: "It is a good day for us and the Team after such a messy weekend for us. Physically I wasn't one hundred percent this week and after lap one I was last, so to come away with second place is a great result. I was so unlucky on the first lap making contact with Charles, I broke my front wing and had to drop to the back. So we had to fight for it and it feels good to have a result like this. I am also very happy for Carlos and to share his first win with him is a nice moment for him and his family. I enjoyed the racing today a lot, we were fighting hard and fair and it felt like my karting days. Everyone was pushing really hard and going wheel to wheel, my heartrate was pretty high on those last laps. It was a race where it was important not to give up."
Max Verstappen: "Seventh place is a good result considering the damage I had on the car and with Checo on the podium, we've scored some good points for the Team. I of course had hoped for more but today was just unlucky. I had a look at the car during the red flag and the whole of the underneath on the left-hand side was ruptured. I hit a huge piece of debris; I think it was carbon. As I was driving it felt like a puncture as I had no balance and a lot of oversteer. The car was a handful to drive, I tried to find a good aero balance but it was difficult. I understand that Alex is having precautionary checks at the hospital, so I hope that he's okay. It's never nice to see these things and today proved once again that the halo is a massive improvement for safety, I think without it Zhou would have been in a different state."
Christian Horner: "It was a phenomenal performance today from Checo after the damage he sustained to the front wing end-plate on the first lap, we had to change the nose and his drive back through the field was just sensational. He benefitted from the safety car which enabled us to put on a fresh set of tyres, but his pace and race-craft was just exceptional. For Max, he'd taken the lead and was in a commanding position but unfortunately some debris did a lot of damage to the floor of the car which lead to a massive loss of downforce. It was unfortunate because I think it would have been a fantastic race for him today, but every point counts and he fought as hard for P7 as he would for the win. The Biggest result today is that all drivers are in reasonable shape considering the scale of the crashes we saw today and we hope to see Alex and Zhou fighting fit in Austria next week."

Lewis took his 13th podium at Silverstone to set a new record for the most podiums at a single event, while George suffered an early DNF. A horrific multi-car incident on the opening lap saw ZHO's upside-down Alfa Romeo skid into the barriers and the race was red-flagged immediately.
George sustained a puncture in the melee and his race was over once he exited his car to run to check on the Chinese driver who thankfully later received the OK from doctors.
The race restarted under the original grid order and Lewis moved up to P4 which shortly turned to P3 after an issue for VER in those early laps.
Lewis stalked the two Ferraris up ahead, gaining on them with every lap. SAI pitted to unleash Lewis in the hunt for LEC and the W13 showed strong pace before LEC boxed to leave Lewis in the lead of the race for the first time this season.
Lewis slotted into P3 after emerging from his own stop on lap 33, yet a safety car on lap 39 presented the opportunity of a switch to Soft tyres.
A scarcely believable safety car restart passage saw Lewis, PER and LEC battling back and forth over several laps with exquisite car control to the delight of the sell-out Silverstone crowd. Lewis lost out to PER but took LEC's third place to score his 185th podium.
Lewis Hamilton: I gave it everything today! I was chasing, trying to get those Ferraris, but congratulations to Carlos. They were just too quick today for us and at the end I was in amongst that battle with Checo. Those guys were just too quick on the straights for me today, but I'm so, so grateful for all the hard work the team did to get an upgrade here, we've made a step closer to them, so we've got to keep pushing! We lost a little bit of time in the pit stop, and then I was chasing, and chasing, and chasing, but the pace was great on both sets of tyres and then at the end there it was just a little bit difficult.
Once you get a Red Bull behind, they're so fast on the straights.
We've got some improvements to make but this is a huge bonus for us to be on the podium. I'm glad everyone was safe from that big crash at the beginning of the day. Thank you to everybody, we're going to continue to push.
George Russell: We started on the Hard tyre because I made a mistake in qualifying and we thought that risk gave us the best opportunity later in the race but there was just very little grip at the start.
It's the hardest compound, it's cold out there and I got swamped by all the cars. Next thing I know I got touched, I was in the side of Zhou, and that was it. I jumped out the car to see if Zhou was okay and I saw it was red flagged straight away but when I came back to the car, I couldn't quite get it started for whatever reason, so I ran back to the team to check. I asked the marshals to leave the car and next thing, when I got back, the car was on the back of the flatbed which meant I couldn't restart. It was obviously frustrating for my race because the car just had the puncture and there's no doubt we had the pace to come back to P6 today but I'm just glad that Zhou was OK.
Toto Wolff: A great race today for the fans who all came out with such passion. We had some light at the end of the tunnel in Barcelona and then struggled on three street circuits so I don't want to talk us up too much or be too pessimistic, I'd rather be cautious. We still had our persistent ride issue all three days which is a key focus for us to tackle but we showed strong pace this weekend which is pleasing and our updates seemed to work well. In Austria, there will be a couple of corners which haven't made our car happy in the past but it's a constant learning process for us. This year is going to be a pretty tough one to win but we just need to get our house in order to be properly on top of the car's performance. It was disappointing for George not to be in the race because the car pace was good but that's the regulation so it is what it is, unfortunately. Lewis drove a strong race, we had the win right in front of us before the safety car and were chasing the Ferraris down but then after the safety car, we were never quite in the position to challenge for the front and lost a little momentum. I'm glad it's a quick turnaround for Austria, another chance for more information which is more learning.
Andrew Shovlin: It's difficult for the team to know how to after a race like that. On one had its frustrating to only come away with a third place as with two cars and a bit more luck we could have been fighting for the win and a good haul of points. On the other hand, we can be pleased that we were fighting at the front after a very tough start to our season and a lot of hard work from everyone in Brackley and Brixworth to recover a huge performance gap. George's race didn't last long. We knew the hard tyre would be a risk but didn't anticipate us losing so much ground off the line. That clearly was the contributing factor in George being part of the accident at the start which ended his race but at least no one was hurt. Lewis on the other had a great start moving to 3rd so it was a shame that he was put back into fifth for the restart from where we dropped a further position.
Even so, there were plenty of times where it looked like we might be able to get back into the fight for the win but sadly it was not to be. Even so, we can take a lot of encouragement from the progress this weekend. We brought a significant update to the car and it looks to have delivered what we expected. Now we know what works for the car, we can find more. We've got a couple of days to regroup ahead of the Austria sprint race so plenty to do in a short space of time but we're excited to be going there with some hope of fighting at the front.

British GP: Race team notes - Ferrari
At his 150th attempt, Carlos Sainz is a winner in Formula 1, first past the chequered flag in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in his F1-75. For Scuderia Ferrari it's the third victory of the season and its 241st overall. Carlos is thus the 40th driver to win for Ferrari, the second Spaniard after Fernando Alonso. He brings the total number of drivers who have won a world championship Grand Prix to 112. It has been an almost perfect weekend for Sainz, after he took pole yesterday. Charles Leclerc drove an aggressive race, featuring several duels on his way to a fourth place finish. A Safety Car a few laps from the end, after Esteban Ocon stopped on track, did not work in his favour.
When Ocon stopped on track and the Safety Car came out, Charles was leading, ahead of Carlos and Lewis Hamilton. At this point, the team pitted Sainz, leaving Leclerc in the lead on fresher tyres, believing that the Soft tyres of the competitors would probably degrade quite quickly. At the restart, Charles struggled to get his tyres back up to temperature and was passed by his team-mate, as well as by Sergio Perez and Hamilton. He thus had to settle for the 12 points for fourth place.
Scuderia Ferrari leaves the UK having made up points on its rivals in both the Constructors' and Drivers' championships, with both Carlos and Charles. Now it's time to prepare for the next race, a week today, at the Spielberg track in Austria.
Carlos Sainz: What a day! Winning my first F1 GP and with Scuderia Ferrari in front of this amazing crowd, at one of my favorite tracks, Silverstone, is literally amazing.
Mentally it was one of the toughest races I've done: managing the gaps, lots of fights on track, the second start. We struggled a bit with understeer and on the second stint we had to save fuel in order to make it to the end, so the lift-and-coast put me at risk from the cars behind.
However, as soon as the Safety Car came out, we knew it was paramount to change the tyres as mine were pretty old. At the restart, I had fresher tyres but we were fighting for a 1-2 as a team, so I tried to be as clean as possible in overtaking Charles. Thanks to the fuel saved behind the Safety Car we could then push until the end and finally I got my first win. I will enjoy it for today but we'll immediately start working on preparing for the next one.
Charles Leclerc: I didn't finish where I wanted to, so it was a frustrating race for me. There were times when I really had to be on the limit to keep my position, fighting with others who were on Softs which was not easy at the end. It's a shame not to bring home more points for our team today, but that's how it goes sometimes.
No matter how disappointed I am, it should not take away from what is an amazing first win for Carlos. It's a moment he will never forget, a dream come true for every driver and I hope that he enjoys it!
Mattia Binotto: To get back to winning, especially at such a demanding track as Silverstone, is particularly pleasing and confirms that we have worked well this season, both at the track and back in Maranello. Carlos had a great weekend, in which he also secured his first pole position. He was strong and consistent throughout and the win was richly deserved.
On the other hand, it's a shame we scored fewer points than we could have done with Charles who, when the Safety Car came out, was comfortably in the lead. Pitting Charles at that moment, which would have put him behind Hamilton, who at that point would have stayed out on fresh Hard tyres, did not seem the right choice, so we therefore decided to leave him out on track. Unfortunately, at the restart, he was at a disadvantage in terms of tyres. We also want to congratulate Mick Schumacher on scoring his first championship points. They are well deserved.
Finally, it's worth underlining once again the efforts of the FIA and Formula 1 in terms of safety. The fact that no drivers involved in the accidents at the start suffered any serious injury confirms just how effective are the current safety measures.

British GP: Race team notes - McLaren
Lando Norris: "Firstly, it was great to see Zhou, Alex and George get out of their cars safely today, it's never nice to see an accident like that, so I'm glad the safety equipment did its job properly. On our side, a decent race. I felt like we deserved P5, but unfortunately we lost out at the final pit-stop under the safety car. I think we drove a good race. We did a lot of things very well today and we had reasonable pace in the car, it was just maybe a late call with the pit-stop and that cost us one position today. I'm not annoyed, I think we still got some good points, but it could have been one more place.
"Finally, it's been great to see the British fans this weekend, they've been amazing all weekend come rain or shine. I had a really great run on the second restart and could see the fans cheering for me in the stands, which was awesome to see. I already can't wait to come back next year!"
Daniel Ricciardo: "Firstly, I'm glad to hear the drivers are OK after that first lap incident. For our race, the car just didn't really seem to operate at the same level of grip as the others. I could just feel it through the tyres as well, trying to carry speed. It was just a bit odd, so we have a bit of investigating to do. Then we had an issue with DRS which meant I couldn't use it after lap 31 which was also a bit of a shame. Obviously, it's tough to overtake with that as well - but simply we weren't really quick enough anyway today. It was a bit of a lonely afternoon."
Andreas Seidl, Team Principal: "The most important thing is that all drivers involved in accidents today, F1 and Formula 2, are doing well. Motorsport works hard to improve safety and what we saw today demonstrates why that is essential.
"For us, the positive we take away is that we had a more competitive car this weekend and we're back in the points after two difficult races. Lando looked competitive all day but unfortunately lost out to Fernando in the final pit-stop, behind the Safety Car. Daniel's weekend didn't go to plan, which will need careful analysis over the next few days. He wasn't in a position to deliver competitive lap times yesterday and today. In addition, he experienced a DRS failure that required an additional pit-stop mid-race and required him to run without the DRS in the second half of the race.
"So, some positive signs and, as always, a lot to learn before we get going again five days from now in Austria, on a circuit where we've had tremendous results in recent years. Before then, I have to say thanks to the entire team here at the track and back at the factory, together with our colleagues at HPP, for all of their efforts this week. I also want to thank Silverstone and the fans that made it special. The crowd has been massive, the atmosphere exceptional, and it's wonderful to experience together with a lot of our colleagues from the factory who were cheering for us as well on the grandstands."

British GP: Race team notes - Alpine
BWT Alpine F1 Team's Fernando Alonso claimed a well fought fifth place from today's British Grand Prix in a race filled with drama from start to finish at a sold-out Silverstone. Esteban Ocon looked set to join Fernando in the points, but he was forced to retire from eighth place, 14 laps from the end with a suspected fuel pump failure.
Fernando's 10 points today means the team closes the gap to fourth place in the Constructors' Championship to six points.
A red flag after an incident at Turn 1 on the opening lap brought almost a one-hour delay to the scheduled 52-lap race. Esteban was caught up in the incident - involving a handful of cars including Guanyu Zhou, Alexander Albon and George Russell - with damage sustained to the front-right corner of his A522. Esteban did well to nurse the car home during the red flag period, which allowed the team to make the necessary repairs to his car during the delay.
After the restart, Fernando, on Mediums, pushed ahead to put pressure on the McLaren of Lando Norris in fifth, while Esteban, on Softs, edged towards the top ten and into points-scoring contention. By lap 11, Fernando held sixth and Esteban seventh.
Esteban pitted for Hards on lap 22, while Fernando remained out aiming to undercut Norris ahead. He pitted on lap 33 for Hards before Esteban's retirement with a suspected fuel pump issue on the old start-finish straight brought out the Safety Car. Fernando capitalised, pitting for Softs, leapfrogging Norris who left his stop one lap later.
A seven-lap sprint to the finish between six cars and five different teams ensued with Fernando well in the mix for a podium position.
After a thrilling jostle for position across a number of laps and a number of cars, Fernando settled for a deserved fifth place at the chequered flag.
Esteban Ocon: "The most important thing to take out of this race is that Zhou is OK after that massive crash. It happened right in front of me, and I was lucky to avoid most of it, but then I sustained damage on the right side of the car from contact with Alex [Albon]. I have to say, the guys did an incredible job getting the car repaired and ready for the race restart, so thanks and well done to them. We did well at the restart and the pace in the car was good. A fuel pump issue on lap 38 ended our race unfortunately and we had to retire the car. All in all, it wasn't a smooth weekend with some of the car issues in Q2 and today during the race, so we'll need to look into all of this closely. It was a weekend with a lot of learning and I'm happy for the team with the solid points from Fernando today. Onto the next race in just a few days' time."
Fernando Alonso: "It was a fun race today and we are happy to finish in fifth position. I was hoping there would be some drama at the end, and we might have sneaked a podium with all of the action, but it was fun to be fighting amongst it inside the top five places. I think our final position should realistically be fourth because I saw Charles [Leclerc] weaving multiple times in front of Lewis [Hamilton] and, compared to what happened to me in Canada, I guess it's not allowed and should be a penalty. Looking back at the weekend as a whole, I think the car was very good and I felt more competitive than in any other races so far this season. We executed our race very well and showed consistent pace. I'm expecting us to keep this up and hopefully maintain our competitiveness again over the next few races. I must say congratulations to Carlos [Sainz] on his first win and, also, I'm glad Zhou is OK after his incident at the start. It shows how far safety has come in modern Formula 1 racing."
Otmar Szafnauer, Team Principal: "First of all, it's good news that the drivers involved in the incident at the beginning of the race are OK. It's testament to the extraordinary safety standards and implementation in Formula 1 that everyone was OK after a quite frightening incident. From there, this afternoon, we've witnessed a quite brilliant Grand Prix, which, for Formula 1, is a great advert for the exceptional entertainment of this sport.
"We're very pleased with Fernando's fifth place. He drove a well measured race and credit to the team for the pit-stop under the Safety Car, which allowed him to importantly jump Lando [Norris] and fight at the front towards the end. On Esteban's side, he too was driving superbly well after sustaining damage early on in the race. The team did a great job in repairing his car and then he put himself into contention to score good points. Unfortunately, a suspected fuel pump issue forced him to retire, and we will get on top of these issues quickly in order to ensure we achieve our goals. We leave here with ten points, a strong haul, and we're looking forward to going to Austria this week ready to score double points."

British GP: Race team notes - AlphaTauri
Yuki Tsunoda: "It's been a difficult day. The collision I had at the start of the race was completely unavoidable, a car came in front of me sideways and there was nothing I could do. Luckily, I only damaged my front wing and was able to get back to the pits with the red flag and continue to race with the restart. Unfortunately, I then had contact with Pierre later on. I need to review it properly but at the moment, I think I could've waited for another opportunity to pass him.
My speed was good going into the corner so I thought I could make it through, I also didn't expect Pierre to close the door quite as much as he did, so this is a mistake from my side. Mainly, I just want to say sorry to the team. After that, I had damage to the car, it was very tricky to drive and that made the rest of the race very difficult for me."
Pierre Gasly: "From a difficult weekend we actually made it quite a bit better with Qualifying, then after the race restart today I was running in seventh, we were in a great position. Following the incident with Yuki I had damage to the rear wing, so we had to retire the car. Every point is valuable, especially in a season like this, so I'm disappointed with the end result today, as it was an unnecessary collision. The accident with Zhou was really scary at the start of the race, it was shocking to see him upside down but I'm glad to hear he's ok, that's the most important thing."
Jody Egginton (Technical Director): "It's very frustrating to have thrown away a likely points finish on a weekend where the team and drivers have worked so hard to extract the maximum from the package and get the cars into a position to fight for points. Contact between teammates is never good, but in this instance with both cars suffering extensive damage, one of which we had to retire, there was really no way back. As a team we will sit down and have the necessary discussions, as the move Yuki made today was not the best and needs to be avoided. In parallel, the guys will be flat out getting the cars repaired and ensuring we are as prepared as humanly possible for the next race."

British GP: Race team notes - Aston Martin
Sebastian Vettel: "It is nice to score points on my birthday and in the team's home race, especially when you consider where we started [in 18th]. Overall, I think it was a decent race and a good recovery.
The first start before the red flag was very chaotic. I made a really good getaway and it launched me into a gap nearly alongside Alex [Albon]. Then I got squeezed and everything backed up as a reaction to the accident ahead. I braked but could not avoid making contact with Alex. The most important thing is that everybody involved is fine."
Lance Stroll: "I thought we had a reasonably positive race. The cars showed much better pace than yesterday, so it is a shame I was not able to score some points. We are still learning and understanding the upgrades but, based on the race today, I see potential for the races to come. I am glad Zhou [Guanyu] and Alex are okay after the crash at the start."
Mike Krack - Team Principal: "The most important thing today is that Zhou and Alex are alright after the accident at the start, which once again demonstrated how safe the FIA has made our sport. If you had told me after qualifying yesterday that we would score two points today, we would have been pleased to hear it. However, we did not manage Sebastian's and Lance's races perfectly and we need to analyse that in detail. Next up is Austria, a circuit whose characteristics should suit our car better than Silverstone, and where we have to do a better job overall."

British GP: Race team notes - Williams
Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: Following the incident at the start of the race, we are grateful that nobody was seriously hurt.
It was a shame that Alex suffered contact as a result of the crash ahead of him, and that this put him out of the race after just a few corners and before we had a chance to see how the new upgrades were working. However, Nicholas backed-up his strong drive yesterday with a very good race today. He showed good pace and took advantage of opportunities that came his way, including the late safety car.
Unfortunately, he didn't quite have the pace at the end to challenge for the final points position, but he raced hard until the end and put up a strong fight against faster cars. When he ran wide at T9, he did some damage to the floor, which harmed his pace in the crucial period after his first pit stop.
We will get Alex's car repaired and then we'll head to Austria with some useful momentum and a plan to further exploit the new package.
The Red Bull Ring has some similar characteristics to Silverstone and probably similar weather too and so we should be able to pick-up where we left off this weekend.
Nicholas Latifi: From lap one we were always fighting an uphill battle. At the beginning I was surprised at how much I could stay with the cars ahead but in reality, there was a little DRS train that was keeping me there because the cars behind were much quicker. It felt really nice to be properly racing in the pack. Unfortunately, we didn't have the basic pace in the end alongside managing the car towards the end of the race. The car's lacking downforce compared to the others with us missing pace in the high-speed corners, which wasn't helped by some floor damage today. We put up a good fight, but it wasn't meant to be today. Frustrating in the end but overall a positive weekend.
Alex Albon: I'm very glad that everyone else involved in the first lap incident is okay. Thank you to all the medical staff at the track and Coventry Hospital. It's a shame our race ended before it began today, but we are already fully focused on Austria. Bring on the next one.

British GP: Race team notes - Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN had a difficult day at the British Grand Prix. Zhou Guanyu was the victim of a gigantic crash from which he emerged, thankfully, unscathed, while Valtteri Bottas retired with gearbox issues.
Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal: "I think we can all agree that the most important thing today is seeing Zhou come out of such a huge crash without any injury. What we witnessed were dramatic scenes, and once again we have to thank the great improvements in safety spearheaded by the FIA and Formula One for a positive outcome. The work to improve safety in our sport is never done and today reminds us of just how important this is: Zhou is ok and fit to race in Austria next week, and this is the big victory of the day. Overall, we had a tough race in which we also lost Valtteri with a gearbox issue, when he was running in P8 and eyeing a really strong result. It's a shame to miss out on the opportunity to score points, but this is racing. We can take comfort from the pace we showed while we were in the race: we can look with optimism to next week's event in Austria."
Valtteri Bottas: "First and foremost, the main thing today is that Zhou is fine. It was a big shunt, and I'm glad that nothing serious happened and that he has already been cleared by the FIA. Today, we got additional proof on how the Halo is one of the greatest innovations in F1, and how safety has improved in recent years. For what concerns my race, we had a lot of opportunities after the restart, but we had an issue with the gearbox, so I ultimately had to stop to prevent further damage. It was unfortunate because we had good pace and we could have scored a big amount of points. Even though it's been a tough weekend, we can still draw some positives: the pace we showed on track was a good sign, and I think we can be competitive in Austria next weekend."
Zhou Guanyu: "It was a big crash and I'm glad I'm ok. The marshals and the medical team at the track were fantastic with their quick response, and I also owe my thanks to the FIA and Formula One for all the work they have done, and they keep doing, to improve the safety of our cars: the Halo saved me today, and it goes to show that every step we take in improving our cars has real, valuable results. I'm keener than ever to get back on track and do what I love: I'm fit and I'm looking forward to Austria next week."

British GP: Race team notes - Haas
Haas F1 Team finished Sunday's British Grand Prix with Mick Schumacher a career-best eighth and Kevin Magnussen 10th at Silverstone Circuit - Schumacher scoring his maiden points in Formula 1 and the result marking the team's first double-points finish since 2019's German Grand Prix.
Magnussen lined up from 17th on Pirelli P Zero Red soft tires, with Schumacher 19th on Yellow mediums, but the race was suspended after only a few corners after a violent first corner accident that eliminated several drivers.
Schumacher took the second start from 16th place, on medium tires, and gradually worked his way through the order, pitting for White hard tires on lap 19, before stopping for softs on lap 39 when the safety car was deployed. Starting 10th at the restart, Schumacher made gains during the final laps and battled fiercely against Max Verstappen to finish eighth overall.
Magnussen launched off the line from 14th place at the restart, also on mediums, and came in on lap 22 to change to another set of the yellow-banded tires. Magnussen stayed out during the late safety car period and resiliently battled against cars on fresher soft tires to round out the top 10.
Haas F1 Team now holds eighth place in the Constructors' Championship with 20 points.
Kevin Magnussen: "I don't think we could've hoped for anymore. I think on the first stint we didn't have great pace, at least compared to the second stint where the pace picked up. I lost a few positions in the first stint, annoyingly, because then we got the safety car towards the end. We were advised to pit both cars and I took the decision to stay out - I don't know if it was right or wrong - but if it was wrong, it was my decision. Two cars in the points though, you have to be super happy with that, to get a decent amount of points at this stage in the year, it's very good. We go away from here with a big smile on our faces and with big motivation for the races ahead."
Mick Schumacher: "We're really happy. Coming back from P19, I said we have the speed to go forwards and we definitely showed it today. It's great for the team, a double-finish in the points, so that's obviously very helpful in the constructors. For me, I'm happy now to focus on what's really important and that's the racing and the driving."
Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "I'm very happy for the whole team to have scored double-points today. We deserved it - it wasn't by luck - starting from P17 and P19 and ending eighth and tenth, we couldn't have wished for more. The cars were fast, the guys did a good job, the pit-stops were good, so what we need to do now is a very good qualifying and a very good race and then we're back in the game."

British GP: Race team notes - Pirelli
The British Grand Prix was won by Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz from pole - but that only tells half the story. The race was restarted after a red flag on lap one, with all but two drivers (McLaren's Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo) changing tyres.
The timing of a safety car in the closing stages of the race was another pivotal moment. It came at just the right time for Red Bull's Sergio Perez, who recovered to second place after a poor start, but disadvantaged Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who stayed out on well-used P Zero White hard tyres and slipped down to fourth. Leclerc was in the lead at the re-start, but was passed by Sainz, Perez, and Hamilton on new P Zero Red soft tyres in the closing stages.
All three compounds played a key role, with hard, P Zero Yellow medium, and soft seen on the original starting grid. There were three different strategies used by the top four, contributing to some breath-taking battles all the way down the field.
Among those duels was a fight that went down to the last corner for seventh place between Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Haas driver Mick Schumacher - with the latter scoring his first Formula 1 world championship points today.
Mario Isola: "First and most importantly, we are all incredibly relieved and grateful that the drivers involved in the scary first-lap crash are OK: a testament to the incredible safety standards in the sport. After then, we saw one of the most thrilling races in recent memory, with battles all the way down the field and tyre strategy providing a key element. For anyone still asking if the 2022 new package of cars and tyres has improved the show and helped overtaking - here is your answer!"
