F1 British Grand Prix – live

Stormzy also appeared last night at the track. One of his heroes is Martin Brundle, apparently.

And that glory Saturday, when Britain took the first three spots on the grid.

So yeah, in the summertime when the weather is fine and….oh.

There’s blue sky with a smattering of clouds and, yes, rain coming down.

A British Grand Prix with three plucky Brits at the front of the grid. Exciting, and well worth the mudbath in the Silverstone car park and all those traffic jams around the south Midlands area. Max Verstappen lies in wait, as he and Lando Norris continue their burgeoning rivalry. Sergio Perez will start from the pit lane after a change of engine. Rain is expected and that used to mean Lewis Hamilton would become even more dominant. Can he do it one last time for Mercedes?
