F1 Results Today: Silverstone British Grand Prix Practice Times

Max Verstappen took over the two free practice sessions at Silverstone on Friday, finishing atop the timing sheets in both FP1 and FP2.

His team-mate Sergio Perez was running a couple of tenths behind him, but the real surprise was the Williams of Alex Albon – the Thai-British driver setting the third best time in both sessions.

The third qualifying session on Saturday was hit by rain after a handful of minutes, leaving a fairly unrepresentative set of times as drivers on different runs were hit differently.

The Ferrari of Carlos Sainz pushed Verstappen hard in FP2 too, finishing just 0.022s behind the reigning champion with a storming lap.

It wasn't all plain sailing for the surging Ferrari team though, with Charles Leclerc stuck in the garage for all of the second practice session with an electrical issue.
