2026 F1 Silverstone: Full British GP Friday practice results
Full results from Friday at the 2026 F1 British Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton set the pace in practice for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, the opening session of the latest sprint weekend.
Hamilton is searching for a record-extending tenth victory at Silverstone, and got off on the right foot on Friday.
Kimi Antonelli was second fastest after becoming the first driver to dip below the 90s marker, while Charles Leclerc and George Russell both featured in the top four.
McLaren and Red Bull engaged in a battle of their own, with the two teams appearing to be slightly off the pace of the top two teams.
Audi once again enjoyed a strong showing across a single lap, with Nico Hulkenberg inside the top 10.
With a clean session, Cadillac's upgrades, introduced last weekend, looked to have provided a step forward in the tussle with Aston Martin, but reliability has so far been the American manufacturer's Achilles Heel this term, so any optimism will come with a pinch of salt.
The full results from FP1 can be viewed below.
