F1 Qualifying Today at Silverstone: British Grand Prix 2024 start times, schedule and TV

Formula 1 qualifying takes centre stage at the 2024 British Grand Prix today (Saturday, July 6), with the teams battling for grid positions for Sunday's showdown at Silverstone.

The iconic Northamptonshire circuit is all set for a weekend of high-octane action as the 2024 F1 world championship rolls into round 12, marking the culmination of the summer triple-header.

With halfway almost done in the 24-race season, Max Verstappen continues his reign atop the drivers' championship. Having secured seven wins out of 11 races, the Dutchman is on a mission to grab his fourth consecutive title and propel Red Bull to their third straight constructors' championship.

However, unlike the dominant run of 2023, Verstappen's path to glory this year isn't a solitary stroll. This season has seen a refreshing unpredictability with four non-Red Bull drivers - Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and George Russell - having all tasted victory.

While Verstappen maintains an 81-point lead over his closest rival Norris, each race throws up a new set of challenges, and with 11 rounds down, 13 more remain open for further surprises.

This weekend, all eyes will be on whether the defending champion can repeat his 2023 pole-to-win performance on this historic circuit or if the pendulum will swing towards a surprise contender.

Norris, still smarting from the late-race collision with Verstappen in Austria that ended his race, will be itching for redemption in front of his home crowd. Could this be the weekend the young Briton challenges for another win and reignites his title fight?
