F1 Results Today: British Grand Prix practice times - Verstappen BEATEN as rivals thrive on home turf

As preparations for one of the most iconic races of the Formula 1 calendar continue, it was Lando Norris who topped the time sheets in FP2 ahead of the 75th British Grand Prix this weekend.

Dark rain clouds looming over Silverstone didn't stop Norris going fastest, alongside a shock result for Verstappen in P7 failing to challenge the young Brit. McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri was just behind Norris in P2, with the Red Bull of Sergio Perez making a much-needed appearance as third fastest.
