Northamptonshire police claim they have received “credible intelligence” that protesters are planning to disrupt this weekend's Formula 1 British Grand Prix ...

In 2020, four protestors from the environmental group Extinction Rebellion were arrested after illegally gaining access to the circuit and unfurling a banner prior to the start of the British GP. “Protesting is of course everyone’s human right in this country and we are more than happy to speak with you to help you facilitate a peaceful protest at the circuit, we just please ask that you do not create a situation that puts lives in danger.” “We have received credible intelligence that a group of protestors are planning to disrupt the event and possibly invade the track on race day,” Chief Inspector Thompson said.

Carlos Sainz topped the times on Friday for Ferrari at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. Here's how and when to watch qualifying.

Mild and cloudy weather is forecast for Saturday afternoon for the start of qualifying at Silverstone, with a strong chance of rain showers. For the entire 2022 F1 season, Channel 4 will broadcast highlights of every qualifying and race of each event. Sky Sports can also be accessed through NOW with a one-off day payment of £11.98 or a month membership of £33.99 per month. Live streaming through NOW is also available in the UK.

With the first free practice session behind them, the Formula One drivers are now preparing for the second and final session of the day.

Mercedes believe they have got a grip on this now and there are strong suggestions they will be in the mix. However, we are at Silverstone, and that means there is always a chance that rain will throw a spanner in the works. During the second free practice session at Silverstone, the teams will focus on finding the right set-up for the race.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner says it is "never nice" to hear boos but insists Max Verstappen "accepts" the reaction from the British GP crowd.

Join Sky Sports F1 for extensive coverage across the British GP weekend - the race starts at 3pm on Sunday, July 3. While some cheered the Dutchman, he was the only driver who encountered any sort of negativity. "Then this comes out and we felt we had made a very strong statement through the action of actually dropping Juri from the team and not in any way condoning any form of racism and discrimination. That is competition. The boos for Verstappen also followed his comments in the media on Thursday where he condemned Piquet's racially offensive comments in reference to Hamilton, but also insisted Piquet - who is his partner Kelly's father - was "definitely not a racist" and suggested the scandal had been "blown out of proportion".

A group of environmental protesters have threatened to invade the track during Sunday's British Grand Prix.

In a statement, Silverstone chief executive Stuart Pringle said: "We work closely with Northamptonshire Police and the emergency service agencies to put plans and procedures in place to ensure we are fully prepared to handle such situations. "Going onto a live racetrack is extremely dangerous -- if you go ahead with this reckless plan you are jeopardizing lives. Silverstone's race has been the scene of a track invasion once before.

Ch Insp Thompson made a direct appeal on Facebook to any protestors to "not put yourselves, the drivers, as well as the many marshals, volunteers and members of the public, at risk".

FORMULA ONE has arrived at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell aim for a victory on home turf.

However, Hamilton's involvement in Sunday’s Grand Prix is still under threat as his war with the FIA over jewellery continues. The Silver Arrows have claimed the smooth surface at Silverstone could play to their advantage after the team has fared better on purpose-built tracks this season. We've got so much bigger fish to fry." He explained: "It must also make sense for me to participate in it. He claimed it would be "wrong" for the FIA to make changes mid-season despite calls from Mercedes to change the rules. Lewis Hamilton has claimed he "will be racing this weekend" after his jewellery war with the FIA continues. He added: "It's kind of crazy to think that with everything that's going on in the world that is the focus of people. Lewis Hamilton has removed his nose stud ahead of the British Grand Prix as his jewellery exemption comes to an end. A fire broke out in the Silverstone media centre minutes before the start of First Practice at the British Grand Prix. Ted Kravitz has warned Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will enjoy "big ticket upgrades" at the British Grand Prix. FORMULA ONE has arrived at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell aim for a victory on home turf. Mercedes are cautiously optimistic they can challenge closer to the front at the British Grand Prix with the team bringing new updates to Lewis Hamilton and George Russell’s car.

Christian Horner was left puzzled by Max Verstappen being booed by fans at Silverstone on Thursday night, while walking on the track.

Next weekend, I know that there’s going to be a lot of support. “But it’s something that he accepts. “And as Red Bull, we’re a young team, we’re a very inclusive team.

'Miles off': Door ajar for Mercedes resurgence; McLaren rediscovers mojo: F1 practice Talking Pts.

The teams were clearly sufficiently concerned, as evidenced by the lack of running in FP1 to conserve wet-weather rubber. Alfa Romeo is one of only two teams to bring no updates whatsoever to this race, which may perversely hand it a small advantage, at least early in the weekend, given it will require less time to understand its car. Daniel Ricciardo was 0.2 seconds slower than Alonso as the next-best midfielder. Mercedes, meanwhile, focused on the harder tyre compounds and seemed to reap the rewards. “Not a great start. “I think from our preparation that we had and simulator, the car is miles off,” he said. Deducing race pace is considerably more difficult. “I’m feeling pretty good,” Hamilton said. What’s more, Mercedes has brought a raft of upgrades to the car for this weekend aimed purely at performance rather than troubleshooting its ride quality issues. His next-best lap would’ve dropped him to second behind Hamilton. The Silverstone track suits the car’s strengths through high-speed corners and its smooth surface also helps to limit the bouncing, much as we saw in Spain, where the W13 was comfortably in the top three in terms of Sunday pace. Heavy rain arrived just as the weekend’s first timed session got underway, but it drenched only the second sector, leaving much of the rest of the track dry.

In creating this 'shelf', the team has been able to isolate the airflow's passage over the upper surface of the sidepod. And, just like AlphaTauri, it has resulted in a change to the position of the upper cooling louvre panel, in order that it isolates the heat being rejected from the panel from the airflow passing over the sidepod. The team has made a significant change to the shape of the bodywork where the sidepods and engine cover meet.

“Normally we see the sort of gap – half a second, maybe even seven, eight-tenths to the faster teams on a long run – and that didn't look like it was there. As I said, there are positives there – we just need to dial into it, and truly maximise it.” “We were a lot quicker than them at the end when we got the tyres warmed up. The high fuel was definitely more promising, comparing to the McLarens on the hards, the same [tyres] as us. The upgrades [weren’t] anything to do with ride, it was just literally downforce and difficult to feel it because we are in two massively different tracks. Hamilton in particular was elated, despite having had to sit out much of a rainy FP1 session along with the rest of the field.

But, again, tomorrow probably it’s raining so you have again different kinds of conditions. “We expect to be competitive at every circuit and we hope to do well here,” said Sainz. “I expect it because the car is a very competitive car, as is the Red Bull, as is the Merc when there’s a bit less bumps, and there’s a bit more high-speed!

Minute by minute updates from the Formula 1 British Grand Prix Saturday practice and qualifying sessions.

Max Verstappen led a Red Bull 1-2 in the final practice session for the British Grand Prix, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc settling for third.

Perez was the first of the Red Bulls to set a representative lap, splitting the Ferrari pair with a 1m29.629s, 0.17s behind Leclerc. Perez briefly improved to top the timesheet, but it was Leclerc who once again took the lead with 20 minutes down, with a 1m29.021s. The McLarens of Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris were next to put in quick times, trading the top spot, before Leclerc took the lead with a 1m29.452s – the first sub-1m30 time of the weekend. Sainz was next to put in a flying lap but settled for second, reporting struggles in high speed sections of the track. Alpine's Fernando Alonso was the first to get a time on the board, with a 1m34.826s, before teammate Esteban Ocon demoted him, going 1.8s quicker on his first attempt. Verstappen topped the timesheet on his first flying lap, 20 minutes into running, setting a 1m28.541s to demote a then-leading Leclerc.

Carlos Sainz claimed the first pole of his career at the British Grand Prix with a superb lap at Silverstone in extremely tricky wet conditions.

Verstappen took the championship lead in Spain and extended it further with wins in Baku and Canada, while Ferrari suffered reliability problems. He followed it with repeated quicker laps as he and Leclerc exchanged the lead in a thrilling fight. Carlos Sainz claimed the first pole of his career at the British Grand Prix with a superb lap at Silverstone in extremely tricky wet conditions. Heavy rain had begun just before qualifying began and intensified as the session continued but Sainz delivered a superlative run under the looming grey clouds at Silverstone in the first wet running all weekend. It has been some time coming with this his 151st grand prix and he was understandably delighted at having finally broken his duck. Verstappen looked to have the early advantage pushing so hard on an early lap that he spun in the final sector, just holding the car on track but it looked to be a fine sighting run.
