Lewis Hamilton's reaction

"It has been a good day. I wish that we could get more running in FP1, but that beautiful weather that we get at Silverstone is what makes it so special, because it can be raining on half the track and dry elsewhere.

"It was just wet through Turn 6 and 7, Turn 9 and then it was pretty much dry everywhere else, so that made it difficult to stay on the inters because they were getting destroyed and then it was too wet for slicks.

"But we got some good running still. I got about 10 laps, which I was really happy with. I don’t think many people got that. And then in P2, feeling pretty good. It’s bouncing still, quite a bit.

"Not necessarily in a straight line but through the corners it’s pretty harsh. Not physically harsh. So we’ve still got work to do but it feels like a small step forwards."
