Max Verstappen finished the first free practice session for the British Grand Prix in fourth place. The top three set their fastest times on the soft tyre, while Max was fastest on the mediums.
Lando Norris was the fastest man this session, followed by Lance Stroll and Oscar Piastri. George Russell completed the top five of the first practice session of his home race.
In Great Britain too, the summer is hard to be found. At the start of the session, it is only 16 degrees outside, and the track temperature is 22 degrees.
In today’s FP1 we see a few rookies taking place in the F1 cars: Franco Colapinto gets into Logan Sargeant’s Williams and Jack Doohan takes over Pierre Gasly’s car. Oliver Bearman, who announced earlier this week that he has signed a multi-year contract with Haas, will drive Kevin Magnussen’s car during this training. Isack Hadjar takes over the seat from Sergio Perez this session.
He and Max drive in a special livery for the British Grand Prix. On his first flying lap, the reigning World Champion sets a time of 1:29.906 on the hard tyre. Hamilton and Russell are faster and push Max back to third place.
