F1 2024 British Grand Prix practice times - McLaren suffer BREAKDOWN as RB star causes red flag

The first practice session for the 75th British Grand Prix had its fair share of drama, including a dramatic breakdown for a title protagonist.

Lando Norris kicked off his fightback from a dramatic DNF at the Austrian Grand Prix by topping the session ahead of Aston Martin's Lance Stroll.

Norris' team-mate, Oscar Piastri, finished the session in P3 despite having to make an early entrance into the pit lane after a suspected hydraulic issue with the car.
