Carlos Sainz was fastest in FP2, but two home heroes were not far behind at all 👀 BritishGP 🇬🇧 F1
Mercedes’ mass upgrade package combined with a smoother track surface at Silverstone led to thoughts that they could be closer to Ferrari and Red Bull this weekend, but Hamilton took to the radio to say he was still experiencing bouncing at high speed.
But a 1:29.462 was the benchmark from Leclerc in the first 20 minutes of running, with Sainz eight-hundredths behind and a further four tenths back to Verstappen in third, with Ferrari appearing on the pace from the start.was the first to depose the Ferrari drivers’ medium tyre times, putting himself top of the standings on a 1:29.118.
Sainz then pipped his old team-mate to get to the front himself, becoming the first person to dip below 89 seconds by clocking a 1:28.942, which left him at the top at session’s end. Other drivers’ flying laps came through one by one, Hamilton being one of the last to do so – and shot up behind Sainz just 0.163s off the Ferrari driver, in what will be an encouraging sign for Mercedes.
Norris had an uncomfortable moment in his pit box, though, when the rear jack collapsed without replacement tyres on, leaving the Briton with a bumpy landing and possibly rear floor damage on the McLaren.
