Verstappen favourite?

On Friday, Max Verstappen was fastest at Silverstone. The Dutchman topped both the first and second free practice sessions in his RB19. In the third practice session, the two-time world champion got no further than P8, but his time was set on medium tyres while most did so on soft tyres. Also at Silverstone, Verstappen seems to be the favourite for pole position.

Williams impresses at Silverstone

Williams has been the surprise of the weekend in Britain. Alexander Albon finished in the top three in all three practice sessions and teammate Logan Sargeant also did well. Can Williams maintain the good form in qualifying?

The forecast is for rain at Silverstone during qualifying. In preparation for the rainy weather, the FIA provided all drivers with an extra set of intermediates. Halfway through the third practice session it started raining on the track, will the rain continue in qualifying?
